Contract Background
According to the decision, the Army issued the solicitation in January 2025 to firms under an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity vehicle focused on human resources services. The requirement covered funeral honor support and survivor outreach for the Army National Guard, structured as a 12-month base period with three 12-month option years. The procurement used a best-value approach that considered areas such as staffing, management, transition planning, and price.
The GAO also noted the Army reaffirmed the award to 360 Patriot after a corrective action process tied to an earlier protest.
Representatives for the companies and the Army did not immediately respond to comment requests, according to the report.
