About this opportunity
The Department of Defense Washington Headquarters Service has awarded a sole-source bridge contract to PM2 Strategies (formerly D.K. Jones Consulting) for professional and technical support services to the Office of the Undersecretary of War for Research and Engineering, Director of Manufacturing Technologies (DoD ManTech), on a sole-source basis under FAR Subpart 8.4 and GSAR Subpart 538.7104-3(b)(iii).
The justification cites continuity of critical services and prevention of unacceptable delays. PM2 Strategies is the current incumbent on GSA contract GS-03F-041GA Task Order 47QFMA21F0017, which cannot be further extended beyond its current term. The Government estimates that contracting with an alternative vendor would incur duplication costs of approximately $88,440 (including onboarding, training, and knowledge transfer) plus a 90-day minimum transition period unacceptable to mission operations.
The bridge contract runs from October 6, 2026, to April 5, 2027, consisting of a 2-month base period with four optional 1-month extension periods. Services include project management, planning, consulting, and integrated consulting supporting the ManTech Program and Manufacturing Innovation Institute, including management of the Joint Additive Manufacturing Working Group, Joint Defense Manufacturing Council, and Biomanufacturing Critical Technology Area. The contract is structured as a hybrid Firm-Fixed Price and Time & Material arrangement (Time & Material for travel and direct costs) and is funded with Fiscal Year 2026/2027 RDT&E funds. A Notice of Intent to sole source was posted on SAM.gov on August 27, 2026. The Government commits to pursuing full and open competition for the follow-on long-term contract, with award anticipated by the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2026.
