The task order, valued at $9,287,690.01, was awarded on May 05, 2026.
Scope of Work
The contract covers maintenance, technical support, and licenses for the brand name DSS SCGUI Overlay.

Contract Details
- Type: Firm-Fixed Price Task Order (Sole Source)
- Awardee: Document Storage System, Inc. (DSS)
- Award Value: $9,287,690.01
- Award Date: May 05, 2026
- Period of Performance: 11-month base + two 12-month option periods
- Product Service Code (PSC): DA01 (Support Services for Application Development and Support)
- Statutory Authority: Only One Source (except brand name)
- Set-Aside: Not applicable (sole source justification)
Rationale for Sole Source
The justification explains that DSS's proprietary software code is necessary for the maintenance, support, and updates of the SCGUI. Market research conducted by the VA did not identify any other sources capable of meeting the government's requirements due to the unique nature of the software and DSS's exclusive access to the proprietary source code. This ensures continuity and avoids significant risks associated with alternative solutions.
