Today I helped Ad Hoc, LLC win a spot on the DHS Flash Agile Blanket Purchase Agreement, Award #HSHQDC17DFL012. Here’s a snip from the award notice:
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of the Chief Procurement Officer (OCPO) and Office of the Chief Information Officer would like to thank the 114 Offerors that participated in the Flexible Agile Support for the Homeland (FLASH) procurement FLASH was an innovative and unique procurement conducted under the auspices of the OCPO Procurement Innovative Lab (PIL).
This innovative approach allowed the Offerors an opportunity to demonstrate their Agile expertise in a Technical Challenge Exercise as well as provide streamlined staffing, past performance and pricing information. This highly competitive best value award resulted in the selection of thirteen (13) awardees.
The FLASH Contract is for a one (1) year base ordering period with an option for an additional two (2) one (1) year ordering periods. FLASH is estimated to have a maximum contract value of $1.54 billion over the three (3) year period of performance. FLASH is one of several initiatives that enable DHS to implement solutions using advanced technologies and techniques.
I helped manage the bid, including the Technical Challenge Exercise, held onsite at DHS in early September 2016. I built and managed the team for the challenge, performed onsite at DHS, and managed all response materials.
