This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole-source bridge contract for Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) support. The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is seeking intelligence services from Cherokee Insights, LLC for strategic and operational multi-layered support, including all-source intelligence, human intelligence, signals intelligence, open-source intelligence, geospatial intelligence, targeting intelligence, and socio-cultural analysis. The estimated contract value is $32,722,621.62 for a 12-month firm fixed-price contract using FY25 funding.

The bridge contract will continue support for the USSOCOM J2 Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems Division until a competitive contract can be awarded. Cherokee Insights, LLC is identified as the sole contractor with the specialized capability to sustain critical C-UAS requirements without disruption. The contract is a transition from the previous contract held by Actional Solutions Group JV, which was comprised of Preting LLC and Cyberspace Solutions LLC. The government intends to compete the new requirement, expected to be developed by August 2025, and anticipates releasing a new solicitation prior to the end of this bridge contract.
