About this opportunity

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground has awarded contract W52P1J18DA081 to Link Solutions Inc. on a sole-source basis for a modification consolidating Baseline and Above Baseline Information Technology Modernization Support Services, valued at $8,753,556.39.

The justification cites economy and efficiency as the rationale for the sole-source modification. The consolidation merges Baseline ITMSS requirements currently under Task Order W911QX25F0053 with Above Baseline ITMSS requirements previously under Task Order W911QX21F0230 into a single contract structure serving the Army Research Laboratory Chief Information Office. Market research from November 2025 to February 2026 confirmed the Army CHESS ITES-3S multiple award contract as the appropriate vehicle. The original Task Order W911QX25F0053 was awarded competitively as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside with fourteen vendors providing proposals. The modification establishes multiple Contract Line Item Numbers for Above Baseline projects, operations, and travel across a base year and three option periods extending through December 19, 2030. The Government projects measurable economic benefits including estimated annual savings through elimination of duplicate management structures, reduced administrative overhead, simplified budget execution, and improved resource utilization. Performance encompasses IT support services including enterprise-level infrastructure, research mission support, and system delivery across ARL's geographically dispersed sites. Funding is sourced from Research & Development and Test and Evaluation budgets.
