Additional Notes
This bridge contract is a temporary measure to maintain essential services between the expiration of the current task order (March 25, 2026) and the award of a competitive follow-on contract, which is anticipated within 18 months after this bridge award. The justification cites significant cost duplication (over 44% of the follow-on contract value) and potential delays of 13-22 months if a new contractor were to take over immediately.
