Joint Data Support (JDS) Analysis - 5 month Extension

The Department of Defense Washington Headquarters Service (WHS) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to extend a contract for Joint Data Support (JDS) Analysis services to the incumbent contractor, Tyto Government Solutions, Inc. The extension relates to contract number HQ0034-20-F-0072, which provides joint data support analysis and support services to Future Force Planning for the Office of Secretary of Defense for Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (OSD/CAPE). The current contract services are set to conclude on August 28, 2025, and WHS intends to issue a five-month bridge contract extension from August 29, 2025, through January 28, 2026. The extension will be awarded under Federal Acquisition Regulation 8.405-6, which allows for limiting sources to a single contractor. This Special Notice was posted on August 6, 2025, with a due date of August 13, 2025.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community of WHS's intent to sole-source extend services to the incumbent contractor while a competitive re-procurement process is underway. The agency explicitly states that this is not a request for competitive quotations and will not honor or acknowledge any requests for solicitation documents. No specific eligibility criteria are provided since this is a sole-source extension to the current contractor rather than an open competition. The underlying requirement is currently being re-competed through a competitive acquisition process, with an anticipated award date in October 2025, indicating that the bridge contract serves as a temporary measure to maintain continuity of services. The work involves providing analytical support services to defense planning and evaluation functions within OSD/CAPE's Future Force Planning mission area.
