About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Space Command issued a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity on November 13, 2025, for a bridge contract supporting United States Space Forces (S4S) Knowledge Based Services. The contract, awarded to Bowhead Information Technology Service LLC under contract number 47QRCA25DS120, provides Advisory and Assistance Services focused on operational mission systems technical expertise and cross-functional integration. The sole source justification was necessitated by urgent operational requirements to maintain service continuity, as the government determined that a competitive acquisition would create mission-critical risks, including degradation of critical space force structures, readiness assessments, and intelligence operations. The contract has an estimated value of $7,659,000 and covers a performance period of 12 months, consisting of a 6-month base period beginning November 8, 2025, with an optional 6-month extension through November 7, 2026. This bridge contract is intended to maintain operational continuity while the Department of Interior pursues a follow-on competitive acquisition with revised award and transition milestones prior to the bridge contract's expiration.
