About this opportunity
The GSA Federal Acquisition Service has awarded a sole-source modification to Duluth Travel, Inc. under GSAR 538.7104-3(a) for expanded Travel Management Company services to the United States Department of Education, with modification value of $209,407.41, bringing the total estimated call order value to $505,220.38.
The modification adds VIP travel support services—including specialized phone handling, secure seating, loyalty program management, and real-time disruption monitoring—while retaining baseline self-service and full-service air, rail, domestic travel, hotel, and car rental support. The justification rests on Duluth Travel as the incumbent Group 1 TMC under contract 47QMCB25D0001 / BPA 47QMCB26A0002. Awarding to a different contractor would create administrative fragmentation, redundancies, operational bottlenecks, and increased risk of duplicate reservations and security gaps. The modification was issued August 25, 2026. GSA secured all available pricing discounts prior to award to ensure best value to the government. Although the modification value exceeds the micro-purchase threshold, it remains below the simplified acquisition threshold and does not require publication; GSA has elected voluntary transparency in posting this justification.
