About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command, acting through the 6th Contracting Squadron, has awarded a sole-source bridge task order to Red Gate Group under GSA OASIS contract 47QRAD20D1057 for CENTCOM public affairs support services, valued at $2,444,627.10.
The justification cites FAR 16.507-6(b)(1), unusual and compelling urgency. The current contract expires August 31, 2026, and a lapse in service would create unacceptable operational delays and mission disruption to CENTCOM. The Air Force determined that the existing solicitation no longer reflects current mission requirements following operational review and significant personnel, staffing, and capability changes. The bridge action maintains continuity of essential services while a new competitive solicitation is prepared, evaluated, and awarded.
The bridge spans a two-month base period (September 1 through October 31, 2026) with four one-month options (November 2026 through February 2027). Required services include strategic communications planning, media engagement, press coordination, senior leader communication support, operational messaging synchronization, and policy communication advisory services. The effort requires 19 staffing positions ranging from Program Manager to Graphic Designer, including roles in media operations, regional language analysis (Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, Russian, Hebrew, Turkish), social media management, and website management. The Contracting Officer and Chief of Contracting Office approved the justification on August 26–27, 2026.
Notice text
