What Are the Details of the Follow-On BPA?
According to a notice published Tuesday on the department’s Acquisition Planning Forecast System, DHS expects to release the solicitation for the planning, programming, budgeting and execution, or PPBE, systems integrator BPA on Oct. 20, with award anticipated in the second quarter of fiscal year 2027.
The follow-on BPA will be a competitive combination-type contract. Definitive Logic is the incumbent contractor. Performance under the base BPA is expected to run through March 2032, with work located in Washington, D.C.
What Services Will the Contractor Provide?
The contractor will provide operations and maintenance support for DHS’ OneStream commercial-off-the-shelf software products under individual BPA call orders. Work will include routine maintenance, software updates, patch management, technical support, troubleshooting and user assistance, along with configuration support and regulatory updates as directed by the government.
The contractor will also handle requirements review, problem resolution, and participation in DHS’ communication and change control processes, and will support the department’s security posture, including authority-to-operate and ongoing authorization activities.
Additional responsibilities include system interface requests, data-sharing coordination and data alignment between DHS headquarters and its components, and status reporting on system performance, maintenance actions, documentation updates and incident records.
How Does This Fit Into DHS’ Broader Technology Modernization Push?
The PPBE systems integrator forecast follows a string of recent DHS and component-level acquisitions aimed at strengthening enterprise systems and IT support. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has forecast a contract worth over $100 million to provide governance and operational support for several enterprise technology platforms, including Salesforce, ServiceNow and Microsoft 365, while the Transportation Security Administration has outlined a similarly sized opportunity for IT support and help desk services spanning its headquarters and field operations. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, meanwhile, detailed plans for its Design Intelligence Mission Modernization Hub, a modernization effort built around Agile and DevSecOps practices to update mission applications across the agency.
