The Department of the Air Force has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole source bridge contract with Centech Group, Inc. to provide continued Client Support Administrative Services (CSA) to the Air Education and Training Command (AETC). The existing contract was extended until March 2025 but cannot be further extended, necessitating this bridge contract from March 2025 to March 2026 to avoid service gaps. Centech Group is uniquely qualified to deliver these critical IT services, such as help desk support and network administration, vital for over 1,300 users. The need for a new follow-on contract arose due to a denial by the AbilityOne Commission to transfer the services to the AbilityOne program, resulting in delays and requiring a fresh acquisition strategy. An initial effort to seek competitive bids was canceled because of a need for further requirement clarification after receiving extensive industry feedback. A Notice of Intent to solicit the sole-source contract was posted, yet no competition exists at this stage. Moving forward, after better defining the requirements, the government plans to later open competitive bidding for these services to ensure optimal acquisition strategy and fulfill its obligations without interruption.
