This document is a Justification for Limited Source Justification (LSJ) issued by the Department of Defense, Washington Headquarters Services for a bridge contract with REDHORSE. The contract is for an extension of services under a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) and ODC Time and Materials (T&M) price structure, with a total estimated value of $8,786,848.20 for the performance period from August 1, 2025 to May 31, 2026. The procurement is on behalf of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security (OUSD(I&S)), supporting critical initiatives across multiple defense and intelligence operations.

The justification indicates that the bridge contract is necessary due to a formal protest of a recently awarded Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). The government aims to maintain continuity of services for critical functions including Special Programs Operations, Homeland Defense Activities, Golden Dome Support, INDOPACOM Support, and CDAO Engineering Support. The contract will prevent potential 45-90 day delays in operations that could disrupt national security activities. WHS/AD is actively working on a competitive long-term follow-on contract intended to be awarded by May 2026, and this bridge contract with REDHORSE will ensure uninterrupted support to various defense intelligence and operational initiatives in the interim.
