HQ USCENTCOM Security Cooperation Support Bridge

Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity

This document justifies an exception to fair opportunity for a one-month bridge extension to an existing task order (FA481420F0220) for Security Cooperation Support Services for USCENTCOM. The extension is necessary to prevent a lapse in critical mission support services while a competitively solicited follow-on task order is finalized.

The services include strategic planning and policy support for regional security cooperation initiatives, coordination of multinational engagements, program management for partner nation activities, analytical support for security assistance programs, and operational integration across directorates. These services directly support combatant command objectives, theater campaign plans, and foreign military engagement strategies.

• Current Task Order: FA481420F0220 issued under GSA OASIS contract 47QRAD20D1155.
• Bridge Action: One-month extension.
• Period of Performance for Bridge: March 13, 2026 - April 12, 2026.
• Estimated Value of Bridge: Not explicitly stated, but implied to be a portion of the original task order value.

This document is a justification for an exception to fair opportunity, not a solicitation. A competitive procurement for the follow-on requirement is underway under the GSA OASIS+ contract vehicle.

Not applicable to this justification document.

• The exception is based on the urgency of the need to avoid unacceptable delays and a lapse in critical services.
• The government is conducting a competitive procurement for the follow-on requirement.
• The bridge action maintains the current scope and level of effort and does not introduce new requirements.
• Several external factors, including manpower reductions, scope refinements, and a federal government shutdown, impacted the original acquisition timeline.
