About this opportunity
The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management has awarded contract 19AQMM20D0128 to Western Door Federal, LLC on a sole-source basis under an 8(a) set-aside, with an estimated extension value of $24 million.
The justification cites FAR 6.103-2, unusual and compelling urgency, on the grounds that service continuity is essential to support mission-critical conference and event management operations for both domestic and international functions, and that transitioning to a different contractor would cause significant disruption and unrecoverable duplicate costs. Western Door Federal, located in Chantilly, VA, currently provides this support. The extension covers one base year plus two six-month option periods under a firm-fixed hourly rate and time-and-materials contract structure. Market research conducted April 13, 2026 via GSA eBuy identified 29 qualified 8(a) contractors under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule 8(a) Pool as potential alternatives; the Contracting Officer determined the anticipated cost fair and reasonable based on that research and GSA Schedule pricing analysis. Required approvals were obtained from the Contracting Officer's Representative (April 14, 2026), Attorney-Advisor (May 20, 2026), Contracting Officer (May 20, 2026), Division Director (June 2, 2026), Competition Advocate (June 5, 2026), and Head of Contracting Activity (June 9, 2026). Award date was June 18, 2026.
