Proposed sole-source continuity and transition support for the State Department’s Bureau of Counterterrorism

The Department of State is justifying an urgent sole-source order to Nakupuna Federal LLC to preserve Bureau of Counterterrorism Office of Programs services while a follow-on competition is conducted. - Proposed contractor and vehicle: Nakupuna Federal LLC under GSA MAS contract 47QTCA26D003Q. - Requirement: Continue critical professional support services, including service continuity, transition, and mobilization support. Specific tasks, staffing levels, and quantities are not stated in the available summary. - Sole-source rationale: Current coverage ends September 30, and the agency estimates a competition would take about six months. Market research found no other Schedule source able to meet all security, staffing, experience, and mobilization requirements. - Follow-on plan: The Department intends to compete a replacement time-and-materials requirement as a small-business set-aside. - Schedule: Transition to the replacement contractor is expected to begin October 1. The proposed sole-source order is expected to end no later than September 30, 2027; exact award dates are not provided. - Unspecified details: No contract value, product quantities, or part numbers are provided. The notice is a justification for continued support, not an award announcement.

Description

Continuation of this requirement is essential and supports the use of a sole-source approach because the requirement necessitates professional support services provided by personnel with the knowledge and capability to identify, analyze, and execute accepted principles, methods, and guidelines associated with routine and specialized administrative tasks and functions for the Bureau of Counterterrorism’s Office of Programs (CT/P)
