About this opportunity
Washington Headquarters Services (WHS) Acquisition Directorate, on behalf of the Office of the Undersecretary of War for Research and Engineering (OUSW(R&E)), has published a Special Notice regarding the extension of a short-term sole source bridge contract for professional and technical support services. This is a synopsis notice, not a request for proposals, issued on March 18, 2026, by the Department of Defense. The notice announces the intent to extend services to the incumbent contractor, PM2 Strategies, LLC, under Federal Acquisition Regulation authority due to the contractor being the only responsible source capable of providing the required specialized services. The bridge contract is intended to provide continuity of support while a follow-on full competition is prepared and awarded. No set-aside category applies to this opportunity, and the position falls under NAICS 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) and PSC R499 (Support - Professional: Other).
The primary objective of this bridge contract is to ensure uninterrupted technical, professional, administrative, management, policy, and operational support to OUSW(R&E) and the Air Force Research Laboratory, Manufacturing and Industrial Technologies Division (AFRL/RXM) during the transition period. The bridge contract is anticipated to run from May 6, 2026, through November 6, 2026, immediately following the conclusion of the incumbent's current contract on May 5, 2026. The government does not welcome solicitation requests, phone calls, or meeting requests in response to this notice, and no copies of a formal solicitation will be provided. A follow-on full competition notice (Reference ID #JI20230822-002) is expected to be issued with an anticipated award date of June 19, 2026. Due to the highly specialized nature of the services required, extending the sole source contract to the incumbent contractor will avoid substantial duplication of costs that would not be recoverable through a competitive procurement process during this interim period.
Notice text

Pursuant to FAR 5.203(a) Washington Headquarters Services, Acquisition Directorate (WHS/AD), on behalf of the Office of the Undersecretary of War for Research and Engineering (OUSW(R&E)) ManTech Program, intends to extend a short-term, sole source bridge contract to the incumbent Contractor, PM2 Strategies, LLC.
