The Department of War, Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), Acquisition Directorate, Enterprise Security Services Division intends to award a sole source bridge contract to Starlo Innovation, LLC for Cybersecurity Support Services (CSS). The current contract (HQ003425CE082) expires on June 14, 2026, and this bridge contract will prevent a service lapse while a competitive follow-on acquisition is conducted through the GSA OASIS+ Government Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC). The bridge contract is firm-fixed price utilizing FY 2026 Operations and Maintenance (O&M) funding. The requiring agency is the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).

The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and related services to perform CSS as defined in the Performance Work Statement, excluding only items specified as government-furnished property and services. The performance period consists of a three-month base period from June 15, 2026 through September 14, 2026, with three one-month option periods extending through December 14, 2026. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) for sole source authority under FAR 6.103-1 and emphasizes that the bridge contract is essential to maintain uninterrupted cybersecurity operations, incident response capabilities, and compliance management, which are continuously mandated operational requirements under DoW directives. Fair and reasonable pricing will be determined using FAR 15.404-1 procedures, comparing proposed prices to historical data and independent government cost estimates.
