About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Headquarters issued a sole-source Justification and Approval (J&A) document on January 20, 2026, for a bridge contract awarded to VMD Systems Integrators, LLC to provide cybersecurity support, IT asset management, systems integration, and workforce development services for the Department of the Air Force Chief Information Officer. The sole-source award was justified under FAR 6.302-2 (Unusual and Compelling Urgency) due to a critical service break that began on November 24, 2025, following a protest of the original replacement contract, which halted essential cybersecurity operations and created significant compliance and operational risks. The contract, valued at $3,990,400.00, consists of a firm-fixed-price base period of four months totaling $1,555,200.00, a surge labor option of approximately 160 hours for $102,400.00, and an option period of up to six months totaling $2,332,800.00 that may be exercised monthly. VMD Systems Integrators was selected as the sole source based on its status as the incumbent contractor and its unique qualifications to expeditiously restart operations given its intimate knowledge of Air Force cybersecurity infrastructure and proven performance on the preceding contract. The Air Force determined through market research and cost analysis that VMD was the only contractor capable of meeting the compressed timeline without causing disruptive transition delays, with the Contracting Officer certifying that the anticipated costs are fair and reasonable based on an Independent Government Cost Estimate and historical pricing data.
