CSS2 Bridge J and A_Redacted Final.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a bridge contract for Other Than Full and Open Competition, supporting the Cyber Support Services 2 (CSS2) program. The United States Air Force Life Cycle Management Center is seeking a bridge contract to provide continued infrastructure service support for Department of Air Force systems and networks, including running Tier II and Tier III AFIN Response Center operations. The contract will be predominantly firm-fixed-price and include cost-reimbursement Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) for purchasing network equipment, supporting break/fix and obsolescence replacement efforts, and travel.

The bridge contract will fund ongoing mission-critical services with 24/7/365 support, including purchasing network equipment, technical publications, system administration, engineering, and management services for three integration and test facilities. Work locations include Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Joint Base San Antonio Lackland, and other Air Force bases. The contract is categorized as non-commercial due to the specialized nature of the work performed by Field Engineering Representatives and Subject Matter Experts who maintain the Air Force Information Network (AFINET). The bridge effort will be funded in 2-month increments by 3400 Operations and Maintenance Funding, with the primary goal of ensuring continuous operations and preventing mission failure.
