I came across this announcement today. jobs.silkroad.com/TDBCommunications/TDBExternalPortal/jobs/1253?source=Indeed.com. This entity's website replicates the seals for DHS, DOJ, and VA. A google search indicates this business is a contractor for the VA. Unclear if these jobs are for the VA.
If this is for a federal agency, I am surprised that such positions can legally be contracted out. However, if so, this may explain why the hiring for adjudicators has seemed so sparce recently. I'm not as familiar with the GSA databases as I should be, and can't find the contract.
