Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA), specifically the FEDERAL ACQUISITION SERVICE, has issued a Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity (JOFOC) for a Bridge Contract to continue Army National Guard (ARNG) Training and Range Services. This noncompetitive award aims to maintain critical support for the ARNG's Training Aids, Devices, Simulators and Simulations (TADSS), Regional Virtual Training Program (RVTP), and Sustainable Range Program (SRP) while a long-term Task Order (TO) is re-competed. The current TO expires on February 28, 2026.
Scope of Work
This bridge contract will provide integrated logistical support for ARNG training aids, devices, simulators, virtual training programs, and range programs. These services are vital for the mission readiness and operational continuity of the Active Army, Army Reserve, National Guard, ROTC, DoD, and other Federal Agencies across the United States and its territories.
Contract & Timeline

- Purpose: To prevent a lapse in mission-critical services due to delays in the re-competition of a long-term TO, caused by an ambiguity in the original solicitation, DOGE review, personnel loss, and the 2025 government shutdown.
- Duration: A three-month base period, three one-month options, and an option to extend for up to six months (FAR 52.217-8).
- Current TO Expiration: February 28, 2026.
- Incumbent: Tolliver Group, which has performed satisfactorily.
- Published Date: March 3, 2026.
Set-Aside
