FOE_WPN Bridge Rev 1 CAA Signed - Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity for a Bridge Action under the Western Range Internet Protocol Network (WPN) contract. The 30th Contracting Squadron at Vandenberg Space Force Base is seeking a new order under the GSA Oasis+ IDIQ contract to provide mission-critical services currently performed under an existing task order. The bridge action will cover the IP6 network's sustainment from 1 September 2025 through 30 November 2025, with two additional 2-month option periods, to ensure continuous network operations across multiple military installations.

The justification emphasizes the urgent need to prevent a service lapse that could disrupt essential communications, compromise data security, and potentially cause mission failure. The current contract with DCCA is expiring, and due to a protest, there is insufficient time for a new competitive solicitation. The proposed bridge action will convert existing pricing structures to firm-fixed price and continue the same IT services under the GSA Oasis+ IDIQ program. The contract includes operation, maintenance, and development tasks, with a CLIN structure covering technical manuals, operational spares, engineering integration, travel, transition plan, and contract access fees. The future plan is to move this requirement onto a competitively solicited Space Force IDIQ contract.
