About this opportunity
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has awarded a sole-source bridge contract under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C) for the Software Aqua Badge Engineering Resources (SABER II) program, providing software development and engineering labor categories in support of NGA applications and services operations and sustainment. The award was made on July 13, 2026 for a period of performance from July 13, 2026 through July 12, 2027.
The justification treats this as a logical follow-on to the original FSS order (task order HM047623F0063), awarded in Spring 2023 as a competitive Small Business Set-aside. The bridge contract is necessary to prevent service gaps and maintain mission-critical capabilities while the Government Program Management Office develops and awards the follow-on SABER III acquisition; government shutdown and agency reorganization caused delays in that competitive recompete, with RFP release targeted for mid-May 2026. Market research conducted via Request for Information in 2025 for SABER III demonstrated interest from several small businesses.
The SABER II effort supports multiple NGA organizations and mission areas including border security, algorithm and process automation, sensor evaluation, safety of navigation, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. The current contractor's work has included development of operational and experimental applications recognized with a NGA Meritorious Unit Citation. The contract vehicle is the Federal Supply Schedule Multiple-Award Schedule Program. NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services); PSC DA01 (IT and Telecom – Business Application/Application Development Support Services Labor).
