Information Technology Support Services (ITSS)

Solicitation # 70RSAT25FC0000007

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate is preparing to extend Task Order 70RSAT25FC0000007 for Information Technology Support Services with Silosmashers, Inc. under the existing Blanket Purchase Agreement, without competition, for a 10-month period from August 1, 2026, through May 31, 2027. This extension is justified under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR Subpart 6.103-1 due to the unique and specialized knowledge Silosmashers holds regarding DHS S&T’s IT infrastructure, workflows, and stakeholder expectations. The contractor provides critical services including enterprise architecture alignment with federal standards such as FEAF and TOGAF, information assurance and ISSO support for classified systems and SCIFs, and day-to-day IT operations including help desk, patch management, and asset tracking. A competitive recompete has been delayed due to FY26 funding lapses, and transitioning to a new vendor before completion of the acquisition process would introduce unacceptable risks including security vulnerabilities, noncompliance with mandates, service disruptions, and mission degradation. The incumbent’s established relationships, institutional knowledge, and continuous operational presence are essential to maintaining uninterrupted support for DHS S&T’s mission-critical systems, including SharePoint, ServiceNow, and Microsoft Power Platform. All hardware, networks, enterprise architecture, information assurance, and service delivery functions are covered under this task order, with performance based in Reston, Virginia, and administrative oversight from Washington, D.C. The requirement is classified as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 541512. While no solicitation document exists and this notice is solely for informational purposes, interested parties may submit their capabilities to the Contracting Officer for potential consideration. The government retains full discretion to proceed with the sole-source modification to ensure continuity of mission support, and all inquiries must be directed in writing to Danette Williams at danette.williams@hq.dhs.gov.

All deliverables must align with the mission of the Sci Technology Acquisition Division, requiring subject matter expertise in systems engineering principles and pedagogical skills to effectively translate complex technical concepts into accessible, instructor-led formats. There is no set-aside designation indicated, meaning the opportunity is open to all eligible contractors, and the posting date of June 26, 2026, suggests this is a future solicitation with anticipated activity beginning after that date.
