The Department of Energy Headquarters, Office of Headquarters Procurement Services, issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for a sole-source bridge contract awarded to Unwin Company under solicitation number 26EA000002. Unwin Company was selected to provide independent assessment and administrative support services on a time-and-materials and fixed-price basis, with a total estimated contract value of $84,800,000.00 ($42,000,000.00 for the base year and $42,800,000.00 for the one-year option period). The justification for the sole-source award cites Unwin's incumbent status since August 1, 2020, possession of required security clearances and DOE-specific certifications, integrated contractor support across multiple divisions, and technical expertise that cannot be immediately replicated by competing vendors, as a prior synopsis posted on SAM.gov in November 2025 yielded no competitive responses. This bridge contract is structured with five of six contract line items (CLINs) operating on a time-and-materials basis to allow flexibility for assessments, while the sixth CLIN operates as firm fixed-price to ensure predictable costs for command operating center operations. The contract is designed as a temporary solution to prevent service gaps while a competitive follow-on contract is anticipated to be finalized by March 2027.
