About this opportunity

The Social Security Administration has awarded a sole-source follow-on contract to Tuknik Government Services for systems operations support services, including LAN support, facilities support, help desk/call center support, security support, storage support, and operational support, with an estimated value of $6,439,334.40.

The justification rests on logical follow-on authority tied to a pending GAO protest filed by Koniag IT Systems LLC on July 27, 2026 against a competing award. SSA determined that any service lapse would create significant operational disruption, including security risks to personally identifiable information and delays in public-facing services. Tuknik is the only contractor positioned to perform immediately due to current staffing and infrastructure; the competing contractor had only begun hiring before a stop work order was issued. The contract period runs from August 19, 2026 through February 18, 2027 under the Federal Supply Schedule vehicle using a Labor Hour contract type. Place of performance includes SSA's data centers at the National Support Center, Second Support Center, and Evault. The justification was approved on August 18, 2026 by Contracting Officer Ryan Kloman and Head of Strategic Sourcing Bruce Starr, with concurrence from the General Counsel and Competition Advocate Review Board.
