Quick Summary

The Department of the Interior (DOI), specifically the IBC ACQ SVCS DIRECTORATE, has published a Limited Sources Justification (LSJ) for the award of Task Order No. 140D0426F0095, titled Cyber Security Program Risk Management Framework (CSP-RMF) Support Bridge. This justification, in accordance with FAR 8.405-6(a)(2)(i), explains the rationale for awarding this follow-on task order on a sole-source basis to Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (BAH).

Scope of Work

The task order provides critical Cyber Security Program Risk Management Framework (CSP-RMF) Support Bridge services. These services include:

  • Information System Security Officer (ISSO) responsibilities.
  • Independent security assessments for National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) systems.
  • General Risk Management Framework (RMF) support.

Contract & Timeline

  • Type: Limited Sources Justification for a follow-on task order under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Program.
  • Incumbent Contractor: Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (BAH).
  • Period of Performance: Anticipated to start December 15, 2025, and run through June 14, 2026 (six months), with an option for an additional six months.
  • Published Date: February 27, 2026.

Justification for Sole Source

The acquisition is deemed a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order. Obtaining competition is considered impracticable due to:

  • Time constraints and the critical need for uninterrupted cybersecurity support.
  • BAH's status as the incumbent, possessing intimate familiarity with the requirements.
  • The significant ramp-up time a new contractor would require, leading to unacceptable delays in critical support.

Future Intent

The government explicitly states its intention to pursue a competitive award for future requirements and will conduct thorough market research at that time.

Additional Notes

A redacted version of this justification is being posted to SAM.gov within 14 days of the task order placement, as required.
