About this opportunity
The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) issued a Limited Source Justification Notice to extend five existing Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) with Independent Public Accounting (IPA) firms for an additional two-year period from June 2, 2026 through June 1, 2028. The services provided include Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 18 (SSAE18) examinations, federal financial statement audits, audit readiness validation, and agreed-upon procedures attestation examinations to support the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), DOD Office of Inspector General, and DFAS. The justification for the limited source extension is based on market research identifying 182 potential audit vendors within the GSA Multiple Award Schedule; however, only five existing BPA holders possess the specialized audit experience and satisfactory past performance records required to support DOD's complex financial audit requirements. This approach allows DFAS to conduct competitive recompeting processes for new contracts without simultaneous competition while maintaining service continuity with proven vendors. The specific awarded vendor name and precise contract values were redacted in the public filing; however, the contract number HQ042321A5001 was awarded on October 30, 2025, with anticipated orders supporting multiple DOD audit initiatives during the extended performance period.
