The Virginia Contracting Activity is conducting market research through a Request for Information to identify qualified industry sources capable of providing enterprise-wide audit remediation and sustainment support to the Defense Intelligence Agency. This RFI, solicitation number HHM402-2X-Audit, is not a solicitation for proposals or quotes and does not commit the government to award a contract; responses are voluntary and will be used solely to inform future acquisition planning. The intended outcome is a potential Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with a requirement for on-site performance at DIA facilities in Washington, D.C., where contractors must support work in TS/SCI classified environments in full compliance with DoD and Intelligence Community security protocols. Respondents are expected to demonstrate their ability to conduct root cause analysis, develop and execute corrective actions for audit findings, and sustain remediation efforts across audit cycles while maintaining appropriate personnel with active TS/SCI clearances. The RFI requests industry input on technical approaches, a range estimate with assumptions, and recommended contract structure, and requires respondents to be registered in SAM with a valid UEI and CAGE code, and to disclose their size classification and socio-economic status. All responses must be submitted electronically by June 30, 2026, to the designated point of contact, Dale Williams, and are limited to 15 pages excluding attachments. Any future contract award would be subject to FY27 funding availability. The BPA would require contractors to maintain a detailed personnel roster including name, role, clearance status, assignment dates, and qualifications, to be updated as changes occur and submitted per the Contract Data Requirements List. Call orders under the BPA would define specific tasks, schedules, deliverables, and acceptance criteria, with mandatory submission of a Call Order Work Plan within 15 business days of award and quarterly Program Management Review packages. All deliverables must be submitted electronically through a government-designated repository, and performance is expected to be exclusively on-site unless otherwise authorized in writing.

Special Notice
Solicitation # DF-0001-26
The Defense Intelligence Agency has issued a special notice to announce the consolidation of security service requirements into a single Blanket Purchase Agreement under the Strategic Security Services (S3) BPA, justified under FAR 7.107-3(b) to enhance operational efficiency and align with evolving mission priorities. This bundling initiative consolidates multiple discrete requirements into one integrated vehicle to deliver comprehensive, multi-disciplined security solutions adaptable to dynamic threats across all DIA operational environments, including CONUS onsite, CONUS offsite, and OCONUS locations. The contract will be awarded as a hybrid vehicle allowing variable pricing structures—Firm-Fixed-Price for well-defined tasks and Time-and-Materials for scalable, personnel-driven services—to meet the variability of mission needs. Core services include police operations, information and personnel security, insider threat mitigation, firearms and canine team support, polygraph services, and program management, all requiring personnel with TS/SCI clearances and CI polygraph clearance as mandatory Go/No-Go criteria. The effort supports strict compliance with classified handling protocols and Controlled Unclassified Information protection standards, ensuring alignment with NIST SP 800-53 for security assessments and deliverables. The contract has a five-year potential duration, commencing approximately September 1, 2026, with a one-year base period, four one-year options, and a potential six-month extension, for a total of 60 months plus additional flexibility. Performance is centered in Washington, D.C., with nationwide and international coverage mandated across all DIA sites and operational theaters. Line items are structured to address CONUS onsite, CONUS offsite, OCONUS, surge capacity, and optional services, enabling responsive scaling to emergent threats. A mandatory small business participation commitment is embedded to fulfill socioeconomic objectives while maintaining the agency’s zero-fail security posture. All call orders will define their own acceptance criteria, deliverables, and contract types, ensuring flexibility in execution without compromising control. The procurement is conducted under NAICS code 928110 with additional qualifying codes, administered by the Virginia Contracting Activity, and the solicitation number is DF-0001-26. The total contract value is redacted, and no specific packaging, inspection, or payment details are provided beyond the overarching framework of integrated, cleared labor support tied to mission-critical security delivery.
