USCENTCOM Communication Integration Support Services (CCCI) 1 Month Bridge August

The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command intends to award a one-month bridge task order extension to Red Gate Group under GSA OASIS on a sole-source basis for Public Affairs Support Services to U.S. Central Command from August 1–31, 2026. The award value is redacted.

The justification invokes FAR 16.507-6(b)(1), unusual and compelling urgency. The contracting officer determined that pending protests of a competitively solicited follow-on award and the need to prevent service lapses during corrective action proceedings necessitate continuation of the incumbent contractor's services at minimum staffing levels. The current task order (FA481421F0191) was originally issued August 26, 2021, for $21,164,839.53 and has been extended through February 28, 2026. Services required include strategic communications planning, media engagement, press coordination, senior leader communication support, operational messaging synchronization, and policy advisory services. Required personnel include a program manager, media analyst, planning officer, media operations officer, social media managers, regional social media specialists in Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, Russian, Hebrew, and Turkish, photojournalist, website designer, administrative assistant, assessment specialist, and senior executive assistant. The contracting officer approved a 3 percent escalation on previously negotiated GSA OASIS rates. Place of performance is CENTCOM's operational area. The contracting activity is Air Mobility Command, 6th Air Refueling Wing, 6th Contracting Squadron. The justification was approved July 22, 2026, by Contracting Officer Russell Beasley and Chief of the Contracting Office Michael Terranova on July 30, 2026.
