Quick Summary
The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) is issuing a sole-source Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) bridge contract (HTC71126RE134) to UNCOMN, LLC for critical Enterprise Architecture, Data, and Engineering (EADE) support. This action is justified by "unusual and compelling urgency" (10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2)) to ensure uninterrupted mission-essential services for USTRANSCOM, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), and U.S. Army Transportation Command (ARTRANS) while a protest on the follow-on contract is resolved.
Purpose & Urgency
This Justification and Approval (J&A) addresses the need to bridge EADE services following the expiration of the current contract (HTC71120DD002) on March 31, 2026. A follow-on contract (HTC71126DE116) awarded on December 8, 2025, is currently under protest. Due to the 12-18 month lead time for competitive procurements, a new competitive contract cannot be awarded by April 1, 2026. A lapse in these services would significantly impact compliance, mission objectives, and strategic goals.
Scope of Work
UNCOMN, LLC will provide professional services, enterprise-wide support, and technical guidance related to EADE mission needs. This includes:
- Support for operational and system perspectives of Command and Control (C2), planning, transportation, logistics, and business support system domains.
- Prototyping, information support plan development, software development, and system administration to maintain integrated architecture tool suites.
- Enabling USTRANSCOM and component commands to share information and data across the enterprise.
Contract Details
- Type: Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) bridge contract (HTC71126RE134).
- Contract Line Items: Firm Fixed Price (FFP), Labor Hour (LH), and Time & Material (T&M).
- Duration: One-year ordering period from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027.
- Task Orders: Will have a six-month base period (April 1, 2026 - September 30, 2026) with a six-month option period (October 1, 2026 - March 31, 2027).
- Awardee: UNCOMN, LLC, selected due to their over five years of experience and institutional knowledge, ensuring uninterrupted service.
Set-Aside
This is a sole-source award under "unusual and compelling urgency" (10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2)); therefore, no set-aside applies to this specific bridge contract. The previous contract was a competitive small-business set-aside.
