About this opportunity
Army Contracting Command – Rock Island Arsenal awarded a one-year sole-source task order to Business Mission Edge, LLC under ITES-3S contract W52P1J-18-D-A100 for South West Asia Theater Signal Support Services (SWA-TS3) to United States Army Central Command, on a limited-source basis.
The justification cites urgent and compelling need under 10 U.S.C. 3406(c)(5) and FAR 6.103-2. The prior task order expires June 16, 2026, and this bridge order maintains critical signal services during Operation Epic Fury while follow-on competitive evaluations resume. USARCENT states that loss of signal support would cause serious injury to mission success and personnel safety in the CENTCOM Area of Responsibility. BME has been the incumbent contractor since September 2020 and is identified as the only source capable of providing uninterrupted services due to operational continuity requirements and ongoing contingency operations. Market research identified multiple small businesses capable of providing the required services for future competitions, but BME's existing expertise and established relationships make it the only viable option for the critical transition period.
Services include engineering and installation support, IT services, Command and Control, Communications, Computer and Information Technology (C4 IT), network monitoring, program management, information assurance, and computer network defense. The task order is funded by FY 2026 Operations and Maintenance Army (OMA) funds. The follow-on competitive acquisition is expected to resume evaluations within the month, with an anticipated award date of July 29, 2026. Fair and reasonable pricing is based on comparison to previous prices for the same work.
