INTEGRITY IT Services

Special Notice: Intent to Sole Source
Office of Government Ethics – INTEGRITY IT Services January 31, 2025 Contracting Office: Bureau of the Fiscal Service, 200 3rd St Parkersburg, WV 26101 SS-OGE-25-039

Upon final approval, the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, on behalf of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) in Washington, D.C. intends to make an award on a sole source basis to TCG, Inc., 7348 Georgia Ave NW, Washington, D.C. 20012, under NAICs code 541511 for software services related to operations, development, and maintenance support for the INTEGRITY Public Financial Disclosure System.

INTEGRITY.gov was launched in 2015 to provide a secure, web-based system through which individuals may file executive branch public financial disclosure reports and ethics officials to assign, review and manage reports electronically. OGE has a continuous need for operations, maintenance, execution, and continuous improvement of the INTEGRITY system.

After conducting Market Research, it has been concluded the current service provider possesses unique, specialized expertise in Executive Branch Ethics requirements and computer programming experience. Due to the Presidential Transition and the annual financial disclosure filing requirements, selecting a service provider without direct experience with Federal Financial Disclosure requirements and the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act would be detrimental to the President’s ability to fill Senior Executive level positions, the Executive Branch as a whole, and the Public’s right to access timely filed Public Financial Disclosure. Per FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(A), a new Contract provider would lead to a substantial duplication in costs, onboarding costs, and costs in educating new contract staff on Executive Branch Ethics requirements. Per FAR 6.302-1(a)(ii)(B), changing service Contract providers during a Presidential Transition year would also lead to unacceptable delays in filing OGE’s requirement for public financial disclosures.

The award will have a total Period of Performance from 06/08/2025 – 06/07/2028, inclusive of one (1) 12-month base period and two (2) 12-month option periods.

Responses received will be evaluated; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no written response is received by the aforementioned deadline that clearly demonstrates an ability to meet all requirements, and that is more advantageous to the Government, Fiscal Service will make award on a sole source basis to TCG, Inc.
