About this opportunity

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has awarded a sole-source extension of the HYDRA II Bridge Contract under a limited sources justification, effective October 28, 2026. The attached justification identifies the incumbent as CACI, Inc. (GSA Number GS35F239BA, Contract Number HM047623F0008) and estimates the extension value at $16 million. The notice body does not state an award amount or name the awardee.

The action extends the current Federal Supply Schedule order for 24 months, consisting of a 12-month base period and two 6-month options, with performance ending October 30, 2028. The justification cites FAR 8.401(b) and GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(1)(iii). The stated rationale is continuity of mission-critical services while a competitive follow-on acquisition runs over an anticipated 18 to 24 months. The justification also states that transitioning to a new vendor would cause substantial cost duplication and unacceptable performance delays, and that the incumbent holds unique qualifications and hands-on experience with this national security system. The extension bridges to a future contract that will bundle services from other contracts and adjust to agency direction.

Work covers continental United States and overseas locations and supports Title 10 and Title 50 intelligence dissemination and safety-of-navigation requirements. Scope includes operations, maintenance, enhancement, modernization, cybersecurity, and lifecycle sustainment. The notice carries no set-aside. Prior market research dates to March 2023, and the government plans to issue a Request for Information and hold an industry day before the competitive follow-on.
