Pursuant to the requirements of the Competition in Contracting Act (CICA) as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.103 (FAR Class Deviation 25-11 1) and in accordance with the requirements of RFO 6.104, the justification for the use of the statutory authority under RFO 6.103 is justified by the following facts and rationale required under RFO 6.104-1 as follows:
1. Agency and Contracting Activity.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office of Procurement Operations (OPO), Federal Protective Services (FPS), Acquisitions Division (AD) propose to extend the ordering period of contract 70RFP121DE2000001, with Kerberos International, Inc. for armed Protective Security Officer (PSO) services at various Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) facilities throughout Puerto Rico based on other than full and open competition. 2. Nature and/or Description of the Action being Approved. (a) Nature of action: FPS AD intends to procure PSO services on a noncompetitive basis for up to six (6) months, November 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027, to provide adequate time for award and transition of the competitive follow-on effort. This action will result in a modification to extend the ordering period of the current contract to allow placement of a task order to continue critical PSO services under this requirement. This order will be issued under this contract only for the time necessary to award and transition to the competitive follow-on effort, not to exceed six (6) months. The current contract is set to expire on October 31, 2026. The follow-on procurement has an estimated award date of October 31, 2026 and requires a transition period of 120 days from the date of award. As such, this extension will provide an adequate transition period to the new effort for this requirement.
