Sole Source Award Notice for Task Order to Bryce Space and Technology LLC

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services awarded a sole-source task order to Bryce Space and Technology, LLC on April 1, 2026, for $944,576.34 to provide professional administrative staffing support services to the Center for Administration within the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response. This action was taken under the GSA OASIS+ IDIQ contract, number 47QRCA25DS150, utilizing FAR 16.507-6(b)(1) to justify the sole-source award due to urgent operational needs, the risk of service interruption, and the critical requirement to maintain continuity amid staffing reductions and government transition uncertainties. The period of performance runs from September 30, 2024, through March 29, 2026, with the work centered in Rockville, Maryland, and focused on mission-critical functions including budget formulation, financial management, records management, ethics and training programs, and acquisition support—all essential to sustaining HHS leadership and Executive Office of the President compliance deadlines. The contractor, identified as a small business under NAICS code 541990, holds a total small business set-aside designation, affirming its size status and potentially triggering subcontracting plan requirements under FAR 19.7. Performance requires personnel with existing security clearances to handle Controlled Unclassified Information and deep institutional knowledge in areas such as Privacy Act compliance, Section 508 accessibility, litigation hold procedures, and federal financial systems. The award was not subject to competitive evaluation; instead, price reasonableness was established by comparing the incumbent’s current rates, the Independent Government Cost Estimate, and OASIS+ awardee pricing. No formal evaluation factors, inspection criteria, or detailed delivery schedules beyond the period of performance were specified, nor were packaging, invoicing, or payment logistics detailed. The action serves strictly as a bridge to prevent service disruption until a competitive OASIS+ task order can be awarded by March 30, 2026, with all support functions aligned to ensure uninterrupted operations for ASPR’s administrative and emergency preparedness missions.
