Follow-on services were intended to be supported via the awards of solicitation N62473-24-R- 0012, which is current being procured. Unfortunately, award has been delayed

Due to the delay, A bridge contract is intended to prevent a gap in services, which would drastically affect the installations and their depend on HVE distribution.

Because of the complexity of the work, familiarity with the performance requirements, and its performance under the current contract, Eaton Corporation is the only source that can reasonably provide continuity of services without unacceptable delays.
