Termination of the Department of Homeland Security’s FirstSource III Contracts and Cancellation of the FirstSource III Solicitation

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced the termination of all FirstSource III Functional Category 1 ITVAR contracts and the cancellation of the solicitation for Functional Category 2 (Software). This decision follows a comprehensive analysis of active contract awards and solicitations, which determined that FirstSource III was non-mission critical and redundant, as similar offerings are available through existing General Services Administration (GSA) and other government-wide solutions. The DHS will continue to utilize GSA and other established contracts for future IT requirements, emphasizing the consolidation of federal procurement to eliminate waste and save taxpayer dollars.
