Contract Details
- Awardee: Sigmatech, Inc.
- Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price
- Estimated Total Value: $9,150,506.00
- Period of Performance: February 24, 2026 – August 23, 2026 (6 months, no options)
- Justification: Sole Source under FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source), citing 10 U.S.C. 3572.
Set-Aside
This action is not a set-aside. It is a sole-source award justified due to the unique qualifications of the incumbent, Sigmatech, Inc., and the critical need to avoid unacceptable delays and disruptions to vital space acquisition programs.
Additional Notes
The sole-source bridge contract was necessitated by delays in the timeline for a competitive follow-on acquisition, partly due to Executive Orders and a government shutdown. The government determined it could not meet mission needs without uninterrupted services. Market research has been conducted, and a competitive follow-on acquisition is planned, with a targeted solicitation in February and contract award in August 2026.
