System Administrator (ESB) – Exchange SME Support

The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Secret Service issued a justification for sole-source extension of a System Administrator (ESB) task order with AVER, LLC through August 3, 2027, citing the incumbent's unique qualifications and specialized knowledge required to maintain critical Microsoft Exchange network operations without service disruption. The extension bridges current task order expiration and a planned competitive recompete award in the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2027. AVER, LLC currently performs network operations and support for the enterprise Microsoft Exchange environment, directly supporting USSS enterprise network infrastructure, security posture, and user support; the contractor maintains all necessary personnel and program knowledge to ensure continuity during transition to the incoming awardee. The Contracting Officer determined anticipated costs are fair and reasonable, consistent with current NIH NITAAC CIO SP3 SB contract pricing and historical pricing data. The justification was approved July 30, 2026.
