Contract & Timeline

- Agency: Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA)
- Performance Period: March 1, 2026, through August 31, 2026

Justification
The sole source award was necessary because the ordering period of the previous contract ended, and the competitive follow-on solicitation was delayed. Factors contributing to this delay include organizational changes, a government shutdown, and adjustments to arms control priorities. A bridge contract was essential to avoid a lapse in critical support services. The justification for this sole source action will be posted on SAM.gov, and a Pre-Award Notice will be provided.
Future Outlook
A competitive solicitation for the follow-on requirement is anticipated to be issued in March 2026, with an award planned for the 4th Quarter of 2026.
