Quick Summary
The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), specifically the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources (ASFR) and OMAS Strategic Buying Center - Professional Services, has awarded a sole-source Task Order to Drodex, Inc. for staffing support services.
Scope of Work
This award provides critical staffing support services to the Office of Facilities Management (OFM)/Office of Administration (OA) under the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR). Services include a Supply Technician and Project Manager to support asset management, supply room operations, inventory management, property accountability, mail distribution, and project coordination.
Contract & Timeline
- Awardee: Drodex, Inc.
- Contract Type: Sole-source Task Order under GSA OASIS+ Contract (No. 47QRCA25DS781)
- Value: $159,868.24
- Award Date: April 1, 2026
- Period of Performance: 12 months (bridge action)
- Set-Aside: Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5) (Note: This was a sole-source award due to urgency, not a competitive set-aside solicitation).
- Place of Performance: Rockville, MD
Rationale for Sole Source
The award was made pursuant to the authority of RFO 16.507-6(b)(1) due to the urgent need for these services. Providing a fair opportunity for competition would have resulted in unacceptable delays, stemming from unforeseen federal and Departmental actions, staff reductions, organizational uncertainty, procurement consolidation, and government shutdowns. A lapse in these mission-critical services would significantly degrade ASPR's ability to manage correspondence, stakeholder engagement, and public health emergency response activities. This 12-month task order serves as a bridge action to ensure continuity of services while a new competitive task order under the GSA OASIS+ contract is finalized.
Additional Notes
This notice is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a request for competitive proposals or quotations. Drodex, Inc. is the incumbent contractor, and awarding to a different contractor would require significant time for onboarding, security, and knowledge transfer. The government intends to award a competitive task order under OASIS+ for enduring requirements after this bridge period. The Contracting Officer determined the anticipated price/cost to be fair and reasonable.
