About this opportunity
The Defense Information Systems Agency has awarded a sole-source bridge contract (HC101326C0003) to Appian Corporation for Tier 2/Tier 3 sustainment support of the Integrated Defense Enterprise Acquisition System (IDEAS) contract writing system on a firm-fixed-price basis.
The justification cites unusual and compelling urgency under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) and FAR 6.103-2. DISA established the bridge to provide critical continuous support while a protest filed by Horizon Industries Limited at the Government Accountability Office is resolved following a June 29, 2026 award on the original competitive solicitation (HC101325R0008, posted August 14, 2025). Appian is the sole source capable of delivering uninterrupted service without disruption during the protest period. IDEAS currently supports over 21,000 active Telecommunications Service Authorizations and contracts for DoD and federal agencies, with over 108 active help desk tickets requiring Tier 2/Tier 3 attention. Loss of support would substantially degrade DISA's telecommunications procurement capability, impacting global Warfighter operations and thousands of active military, civilian, and humanitarian missions. The contract structure comprises a four-month base period (July 13, 2026 – November 12, 2026) plus two one-month option periods (November 13, 2026 – January 12, 2027), with 20 percent surge capacity available as needed. Fair and reasonable pricing will be determined using historical data from prior bridge contract HC104720C0004 and current contract HC101326C0002. Performance is through the Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization at Scott Air Force Base.
