About this opportunity
The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) issued this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice on November 13, 2025, for a two-year extension of five existing Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) with Independent Public Accounting (IPA) firms to provide audit and attestation services to the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), DFAS, and the DOD Office of Inspector General. The services include Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 18 (SSAE18) examinations, Audit Readiness/Remediation Validation, Agreed Upon Procedures Attestation Examinations, and Federal Financial Statement audits conducted in accordance with Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards and applicable government standards. The justification for the limited source approach cites economy and efficiency benefits, noting that market research identified 182 potential vendors on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, yet only five BPA holders possessed the requisite audit experience and DOD past performance history necessary to perform the required work. The extension will run from June 2, 2026, through June 1, 2028, maintaining established fixed rates from the original 2021 BPA and avoiding duplicate past performance evaluations. The specific awarded vendor name and contract value are not disclosed in the available documentation, though the awarded contract number is listed as HQ042321A5006, initially awarded on November 5, 2025.
