About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Forest Service issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for Personnel Security Services to continue background investigation procedures for Forest Service employees and issuance of mandatory PIV credentials (LincPass) required under HSPD-12. The Forest Service awarded a 12-month Blanket Purchase Agreement call order valued at $2,523,511 to GovStrive, LLC for the period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2026. The sole source justification is based on the critical need to avoid mission disruption, as transitioning to a new contractor would require 16-20 weeks of training and potentially postpone approximately 2,000 background investigations, creating significant productivity losses. The services encompass initiating and monitoring background investigations, reviewing investigative packages, processing investigations in electronic systems, and coordinating with the Defense Counterintelligence Security Agency. The USDA determined that continuing with the incumbent contractor GovStrive represents the best value solution while maintaining continuity of these essential security clearance operations for Forest Service personnel.
Notice text

The Forest Service commonly refers to the PIV credential as the LincPass.
Awarded contract 12318721A0008 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2025-09-30.
