Quick Summary
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract modification to Intrepid L.L.C. for a six-month extension of Visual Information and Production Centers 2.0 (VIPC 2.0) Services. This bridge action, valued at an estimated $2,858,000, is necessary to prevent a disruption of mission-critical services while a competitive follow-on contract (VIPC 3.0) is finalized.
Scope of Work
The extension covers essential VIPC 2.0 services, including:
- Graphic design
- Multimedia production
- Photography and videography
- Presentation support for high-level briefings
- Public affairs requirements
These services are vital for multiple MDA functional organizations and the Agency's mission.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Sole-Source Firm-Fixed-Price Contract Modification
- Incumbent: Intrepid L.L.C. (Contract HQ0858-20-C-0004)
- Extension Period: Six (6) months, from April 15, 2026, to October 14, 2026
- Structure: One (1) three-month base period and three (3) one-month option periods
- Estimated Value: $2,858,000
- Planned Award Date: On or before April 14, 2026
- Justification: 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) / FAR 6.103-1, citing "Only one responsible source" due to unacceptable delays if another contractor were used.
Rationale for Sole Source
The competitive follow-on contract (VIPC 3.0) is currently under evaluation, but its award and transition will not be completed before the current contract expires. Intrepid L.L.C. is deemed the only source capable of continuing performance without unacceptable delay, possessing required security clearances and intimate familiarity with MDA systems. A transition to another contractor for this short-term bridge would cause significant disruption and mission risk.
Action Items
This notice is NOT a request for competitive proposals and is for informational purposes only. No solicitation document is available. However, MDA will consider capability statements from responsible sources received within seven (7) calendar days of the notice's publication date (March 25, 2026), making the due date April 1, 2026. Statements must clearly demonstrate the ability to meet requirements and begin performance on April 15, 2026, without a transition or ramp-up period.
