About this opportunity

The Defense Information Systems Agency intends to award a sole-source modification to Madian IT Solutions, LLC under the existing Policy, Development, and Operational Support (PDOS) task order on the ENCORE III contract vehicle, adding Mission Partner Environment (MPE) Enterprise Capabilities support services on a sole-source basis under FAR 16.507-6(b)(2).

The justification cites the unique and highly specialized nature of the services required: the MPE effort transitioned from the United States Air Force to DISA in February 2026, establishing new requirements and a broader support scope than previously anticipated. Scheduled operational exercises follow a strict dependency chain where each exercise relies on timely completion of its predecessor, creating insufficient time for competitive procurement to meet the required delivery date of June 2026. Madian IT Solutions possesses unique architectural knowledge of the Coalition Information Environment (CIE) technology and current infrastructure; awarding on a sole-source basis ensures sufficient lead time for the Government to pursue a competitive follow-on acquisition thereafter.

The scope addition covers systems engineering and technical support including design and implementation of automation capabilities using Infrastructure as Code technologies, scripting and orchestration for administrative and compliance activities, and implementation of mature Agile project management practices and strategic planning. Period of performance is 21 months, beginning May 13, 2026 through February 12, 2027, with an option for one additional 12-month period. Place of performance is Fort Meade, Maryland. The modification operates under the ENCORE III 100% Small Business Set-Aside contract vehicle; pricing is based on previously determined fair and reasonable ENCORE III rates.

Notice text

This is an exception to fair opportunity issued IAW FAR 16.507-6(b)(2), only one awardee is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly specialized. As the transition of the Mission Partner Environment (MPE) effort from USAF to DISA took place, several new elements of the requirement were established, creating a much broader range of support than BDL2 currently has. With the addition of the scheduled exercises, all of which are reliant upon the timely completion of the one preceding it, the full scope of the effort required was not realized until February 2026. Due to the strict time constraints to stand-up the scheduled operational exercises, there is insufficient time to award this effort as a competitive procurement. After review of the situation and circumstances that created a barrier for a competitive acquisition of this requirement, it is determined that a sole source environment exists to ensure the continuous maturation of the CIE effort. By awarding this effort on a sole source basis via modification to the PDOS task order, the Government will have sufficient lead-time to pursue a competitive acquisition for the follow-on effort, and therefore, eliminate the future need for a sole source environment.

The nature of this award is for services to assist with the creation of the MPE PEO, baseline the MPE capability, including JOE-CE, and create a sustainable way forward for development, security, and operations, and consolidate technical capabilities into a single unified solution set that can operate dynamically based on the mission set. This includes the design and implement automation capabilities that reduce reliance on manual processes and improve operational efficiency, as well as  support to implement and mature Agile project management practices, develop actionable strategic plans, and establish integrated technical roadmaps that guide execution across multiple complex programs and systems.

Awarded contract HC102818D0034 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2026-05-06.
