About this opportunity

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service has awarded a contract modification to GovStrive, LLC under a limited sources justification for personnel security services including background investigation initiation and PIV credential issuance in compliance with HSPD-12 requirements. The modification extends the incumbent's existing contract 12318725F0181 for an additional 14 weeks and 3 days, from September 30, 2026 through January 9, 2027.

The justification cites FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(C), restricting competition under the incumbent's Federal Supply Schedule Blanket Purchase Agreement. No other BPA awardees provide comparable solutions meeting government minimum needs. The contracting officer determined pricing fair and reasonable by comparison to GovStrive's current GSA contract rates, noting extension rates fall below current GSA pricing. No additional market research was conducted upon exercising the option.

Services include managing background investigation initiation, applicant follow-up, monitoring, and processing all investigation levels in e-APP, as well as preparing Special Agency Checks with the Defense Counterintelligence Security Agency. The Forest Service intends to open competition for the subsequent long-term contract action. All required certifications from technical personnel, the contracting officer, and the competition advocate have been obtained.

Notice text

The contractor shall accomplish initiation procedures for background investigation services for Forest Service employees which are necessary to meet the background investigative requirements of the position, as well as the issuance of mandatory PIV credentials required in accordance with HSPD-12 governing directives. The Forest Service commonly refers to the PIV credential as the LincPass.

Awarded contract 12318721A0008 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2026-09-22.
