Description

Action: Justification and Approval (J&A) for a contract modification to exercise an option to extend services.

Contract Details: Task Order 70B06C24C00000024 with Avid Core LLC, originally awarded as an 8(a) direct award. This modification extends services for a three-month period, from May 8, 2026, through August 7, 2026.

Justification Authority: This J&A is being posted pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), implemented by Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 6.103-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements."

Reason for Posting: The original contract award did not include a documented evaluation of the pricing for the FAR 52.217-8 option to extend services. Due to this administrative oversight and the imminent expiration of the current contract, exercising this option requires justification for proceeding without full and open competition. The incumbent contractor, Avid Core LLC, is deemed the only responsible source capable of providing these mission-critical program management support services for CBP's Office of International Affairs (INA) without unacceptable delays or substantial duplication of cost. Their unique institutional knowledge, established relationships, and cleared personnel are essential to prevent a severe disruption to critical CBP operations and objectives.

Background
The contract modification is issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of International Affairs (INA).
The goal of this contract is to provide critical program management support services that advance CBP's diplomatic mission and extend U.S. border security globally.
Avid Core LLC, the incumbent contractor, was originally awarded this task order as an 8(a) direct award.

Work Details
The services to be provided include:
- Contract staff to support planning and execution of initiatives, programs, and activities for CBP's international mission.
- Management of Interagency Agreements (IAA), budget analysis, foreign advisory assistance, international visitor coordination, communications, geospatial information systems (GIS), and Europe program support.
- Timely and accurate IAA reporting and advancement of foreign advisory efforts through curriculum reviews and international training logistics.
- Maintenance of the INA GIS Map Library and completion of high-priority mapping requests.
These functions are essential to prevent disruption in CBP operations.

Period of Performance
The contract modification extends services for a three-month period from May 8, 2026, through August 7, 2026.

Place of Performance
The services will be performed at locations relevant to CBP's Office of International Affairs.

Incumbent Analysis
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent, as it is a J&A to exercise FAR 52.217-8 for Task Order 70B06C24C00000024 awarded to Avid Core LLC (Avid Core) with a stated value of $4,017,355 and a period of performance from 05/07/24–05/07/26. The prior award provided contractor staffing support for CBP’s Office of International Affairs, including program management and related international mission support functions (e.g., planning/execution support, IAA/budget activities, visitor coordination, and INA GIS map library maintenance), which the option extension is intended to continue for an additional three months (May 8, 2026–August 7, 2026).
