    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Air Force, intends to issue a non-competitive bridge contract for IT Support Services to The CENTECH Group, Inc. This contract aims to provide continued Client Support Administrative Services (CSA) to the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) from March 29, 2025, to March 28, 2026, ensuring no interruption in critical IT services such as help desk support and network administration for over 1,300 users. The necessity for this bridge contract arises from the inability to extend the existing contract and the denial by the AbilityOne Commission to transfer services, prompting a need for a new acquisition strategy. Interested parties can contact Sandra Smith at sandra.smith.24@us.af.mil or 210-652-8537 for further information, with the contract valued at approximately $1,246,474.92.

    Justification--Bridge CSA IT SVCS_signed_Redacted.pdf
    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.
