About this opportunity
The Department of Transportation's Immediate Office of the Secretary is issuing a sole-source Special Notice for an un-competed modification adding three Watch Officers to Echelon Services, LLC's Transportation Operations Center support contract, No. 693JK423C500009, with No Set-Aside Used. Interested firms may submit Statements of Qualifications to james.mowery@dot.gov, Jacques.singleton@dot.gov, and Leonel.raba@dot.gov by November 28, 2026 at 11:30 PM Eastern Standard Time to challenge the sole-source determination.
The modification would add two Senior Watch Officers and one Journeyman Watch Officer for December 1, 2026 through September 30, 2028, with a modification value of $1,315,961.03 that raises total contract value from $6,189,494.80 to $7,505,455.83. The positions perform 24/7 watch-standing, including monitoring transportation-related incidents and threats, coordinating notifications with federal and interagency partners, preparing operational reports, and supporting departmental emergency response and continuity operations. Required experience includes emergency management, incident management, operational coordination, and emergency communications.
The justification cites staffing deficiencies from federal and modal Watch Officer retirements and reassignments. The contracting officer determined that adding personnel to Echelon's existing contract is the only satisfactory approach to maintain operational continuity. Market research identified no alternative contractors able to deliver the services with the required speed and continuity. DOT is obtaining Echelon pricing data to verify fair and reasonable pricing before executing the modification.
