This modification is necessitated by the unique expertise required for these roles and the urgent need to address high vacancy rates within the staffing division, which currently stands at approximately 60%. The continuation of services from the incumbent vendor is deemed critical to maintaining effective HR operations without disrupting mission support for the USSS.

    Justification LSJ FY24-0046 PR-24-USSS-32903491_Human Resources Classification and Staffing Specialists_70US0920F2GSA0100 mod_Redacted.pdf
    The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Secret Service (USSS) seeks to modify task order 70US0920F2GSA0100 to acquire one Human Resources Classification Specialist and nine Staffing Specialists for the Office of Human Resources. This action arises under FAR 8.405-6, which allows limited sourcing due to unique service requirements. The current vendor, FYI, Inc., previously awarded the task order, is considered the only suitable source since reallocating these positions to another vendor would interrupt USSS operations, which are already strained by staffing shortages. The rationale for this modification is based on the unique expertise required to fulfill the roles and the urgency to address high vacancy rates within the staffing division, which are at approximately 60%. Historical pricing has been established as fair and reasonable according to GSA schedule pricing, ensuring cost-effectiveness for the agency. The memorandum indicates that continuing with the incumbent vendor is crucial for maintaining effective HR services without jeopardizing mission support for the USSS. The modification aligns with previous market research confirming the vendor’s qualifications and capacity to meet agency needs.

While this notice serves solely for notification and not as a request for proposals, entities believing they can meet the requirements are invited to submit their evidence of capability by the deadline of 1:00 PM ET on September 9, 2024.
