DOE Awards Sole-Source Modification for Security Services at the INL

DOE Awards Sole-Source Bridge Modification for Security Services at Idaho National Laboratory IDAHO FALLS, ID – The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded a sole-source contract modification to Montech, Inc. for continued Personnel Security Support Services. The firm-fixed-price award ensures the continuity of critical security operations at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL). The contract modification, with an estimated value of $450,000, extends the period of performance from July 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026. This action serves as a bridge to ensure uninterrupted support while a competitive, long-term follow-on contract is solicited and awarded. Contract Details: Awardee: Montech, Inc., an 8(a) certified, woman-owned small business based in Albuquerque, NM. Contract Number: 89243221CNE000020 Total Estimated Value: $450,000 Period of Performance: July 1, 2026 – December 31, 2026 NAICS Code: 541990 - All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services Product Service Code: R497 - SUPPORT-PROFESSIONAL: PERSONAL SERVICES CONTRACTS Services provided under this contract are integral to the DOE-ID Personnel Security Program and the national security mission at INL. These services include the adjudication of security clearances, processing of clearance packages, management of sensitive records, and personal identity verification. The justification for the sole-source award was made under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, citing that only one responsible source could satisfy the agency's requirements. A critical requirement for the work is that all contractor personnel must possess an active DOE "Q" security clearance. According to the justification, the timeline to process and adjudicate new "Q" clearances typically exceeds 12 months, making it impossible for a new contractor to be fully staffed for a six-month performance period without causing unacceptable delays and mission failure. As the incumbent contractor, Montech's personnel are fully trained, experienced, and already possess the mandatory security clearances, making it the only known source capable of providing these services without a break in service. Prior to the award, the government published a notice of intent, and no other sources expressed written interest in the requirement. The primary point of contact for this action is Jeffrey C. Fogg, Contracting Officer at the DOE Idaho Operations Office.
