Joint Data Support - Data Collection

Washington Headquarters Services Acquisition Directorate (WHS/AD), acting on behalf of the Office of the Secretary of Defense Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (OSD/CAPE), published this Special Notice on December 30, 2025, regarding Joint Data Support - Data Collection services. This is a synopsis notice announcing the agency's intention to issue a sole source short-term extension contract rather than a competitive solicitation. The incumbent contractor, Tyto Government Solutions, Inc., will receive the extension award under Federal Acquisition Regulation 8.405-6 authority. The Special Notice clarifies that this announcement is not a request for competitive quotations and that requests for solicitation copies will not be honored. The notice serves to inform the market of the agency's acquisition strategy while providing transparency regarding the extension award decision.

The purpose of this short-term extension is to maintain continuity of data collection services during the transition period between the current task order expiration and the anticipated competitive award of a new contract. The current services under GSA FSS contract GS-00F-350CA, task order HQ003420F0353, conclude on January 13, 2026, with the extension contract covering six months from January 13 through July 13, 2026. The due date for this Special Notice is January 6, 2026, though this deadline does not apply to competitive submissions since no solicitation is being issued. There are no eligibility criteria for contractor participation as this is a sole source extension to the incumbent contractor only. The agency is simultaneously conducting a competitive re-competition with an anticipated award date in February 2026, which will ultimately replace this short-term extension arrangement.
