99 -- One additional FTE

The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is planning to issue a sole source modification to an existing contract with Ahtna Technical Services Inc. This modification involves adding one additional full-time employee and will be awarded without full and open competition based on FAR Subpart 6.302-1 (a)(2). The agency determined that only this vendor can meet the specific requirements after conducting market research, justifying the sole source action. The contract modification does not serve as a solicitation or request for quotes but is issued for informational purposes only. The contract relates to NAICS code 922140, which covers protective services, and replaces the previous contract identified as ACD-3-C-0003. The agency has shortened the typical notice period from 45 days to 7 days for this modification. Key points of contact for this contract action are Ronald Jean-Baptiste and Anthony Gomez, both of whom can provide further information via provided phone numbers and emails. The contract is positioned to support the agency’s operational needs by securing specialized personnel through an established, sole source contractor located in Anchorage, Alaska.
