Enterprise Transport Management - Next Generation

The Defense Information Systems Agency is extending the existing Enterprise Transport Management-Next Generation blanket purchase agreement with General Dynamics Information Technology via the GSA Multiple Award Schedule through bridge contract HC102819A0001 with a response deadline of September 1, 2026. This is a sole-source extension justified under FAR Part 8.401 to prevent service interruption while the follow-on competitive procurement completes source selection.

The bridge provides continued critical ETM-NG services supporting the J6 Global Service Center, including day-to-day operations and maintenance of J6-supported networks, infrastructure, and related services. DISA determined that GDIT is the only contractor capable of fulfilling requirements without risk of substantial service interruption; a lapse would prevent J6 from delivering responsive IT services to the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Washington Headquarters Services, and Joint Chiefs of Staff, creating unacceptable risk to critical communications supporting warfighter missions and deployed units globally.

The initial recompete began in March 2023, with the Request for Proposals posted May 13, 2025, extended to March 12, 2026 following 11 amendments. Evaluations are underway. The contract employs a hybrid of firm fixed price and time and material pricing terms. The bridge remains in effect until award of the follow-on BPA.
