Notice of Sole Source--IT Infrastructure Integration, Consolidation, and Ongoing Operations and Maintenance (O&M) support

The US Department of Labor is planning to award a sole source, Time-and-Materials contract to Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc. to provide IT Infrastructure Integration, Consolidation, and ongoing Operations and Maintenance (O&M) support. This contract will serve as a temporary "bridge" for six months to maintain continuity while the Department prepares a competitive solicitation for a long-term requirement, which is expected to be issued within the next 30 days. Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, the Department intends to negotiate exclusively with Booz Allen Hamilton for this short-term engagement, though it is open to receiving capability statements, proposals, or quotations from other responsible sources for consideration. The contract opportunity is identified under solicitation number DOL-OPS-16-R-00047 and is categorized under NAICS code 541519, which pertains to IT services. The place of performance is Washington, DC, with primary contact provided by Mr. Ronnie Jordan. While the Department is focusing on a sole source negotiation for this interim period, it maintains discretion to evaluate other submissions and make a decision on competition based on those responses. This arrangement ensures sustained IT operational support during the transition to a broader, competitive contract process.
