Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA) has issued a Sole Source Justification for Temporary Travel Management Company (TMC) Services for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). This temporary task order is awarded to CW Government Travel Inc. (dba CWTSato Travel) to ensure the DOJ's smooth transition from ETS2 to GO.gov in their assigned phase/wave, bridging a gap until a permanent, competitively awarded TMC vendor is in place. The justification was published on May 27, 2026.
Scope of Work
This temporary contract covers essential TMC services for the DOJ, including:
- Travel arrangements
- Reservations
- Ticketing
- Traveler support
The services are critical for the DOJ as they prepare for their GO.gov "go live" date on November 9, 2026. The scope also includes adherence to security requirements for TMCs operating within the GO.gov environment.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Temporary Sole Source Task Order (Justification)
- Awardee: CW Government Travel Inc. (dba CWTSato Travel)
- Purpose: Bridge the gap until a permanent, competitively awarded TMC vendor for DOJ is in place and ready to support the GO.gov system.
- Set-Aside: None specified (Sole Source Justification)
- Published: May 27, 2026
- Place of Performance: Arlington, VA
Justification Details
The sole source action was necessitated by delays in the anticipated award of the competitive solicitation for DOJ's permanent TMC services. Market research identified 20 contractors on the GSA MAS for Travel Agent Services, but their progress in obtaining the required MFR/ATO for GO.gov varied. CWTSato Travel is currently in Phase 3 of this critical process, making them the only viable option to prevent unacceptable delays in the DOJ's transition to GO.gov.
