About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Assistant Secretary for Departmental Management awarded a sole-source task order under GSA Schedule GS-35F-540GA to Accenture Federal Services LLC on August 20, 2026, for data management and analytics support to the Research, Education, and Economics Mission Area, with an estimated contract value of $3 million for a one-year base period in Fiscal Year 2026.
The justification cites FAR Part 8 and GSAM 538.7104-3(b)(iii), characterizing this as a logical follow-on to a previously competitively awarded FSS order. Accenture possesses unique qualifications developed through continuous engagement with USDA since 2017 under contract 12314418F0020, providing institutional knowledge of REE's complex data infrastructure that the Contracting Officer determined no other contractor possesses. The restriction is justified by critical operational and financial risks: catastrophic operational failure if the mandatory data lake migration cannot be completed by April, approximately $400,000 in duplicative training costs during a 10-month transition period, and severe mission disruption to high-priority research projects. Services encompass three primary areas: data-driven support for strategic initiatives using Tableau, Microsoft Power Platform, Python, R, and ArcGIS ESRI; maintenance and enhancement of existing products and data pipelines comprising 243 data tables, 197 views, and nearly 90 data products; and development of new dashboards, reports, and decision support tools. Place of performance is Arlington, VA. The Contracting Officer conducted price analysis against GSA Schedule rates, Blanket Purchase Agreement rates, labor category alignment with the Statement of Work, and an Independent Government Cost Estimate to determine fair and reasonable pricing.
