    The Department of Defense intends to issue a sole-source bridge contract for personal and non-personal services to support the Soldier Readiness Program (SRP) at William Beaumont Army Medical Center (WBAMC), Fort Bliss, Texas. The contract encompasses 39 full-time equivalents (FTEs) including roles such as Physician Assistants, Pharmacists, and Medical Record Clerks, totaling an estimated cost of $4,746,339.48 over an initial six-month period with options for extension. This action is justified under FAR 13.501 due to the urgency in maintaining continuity of critical healthcare services following the termination of the previous contract amid protest issues. Luke and Associates, Inc., the incumbent contractor, is uniquely positioned to provide these services immediately without disruption as they already have the necessary personnel in place. Due to the time required for recruitment and credentialing of alternative sources, and the immediate healthcare needs of soldiers and civilians, no other vendor can meet the requirements in the stipulated timeframe. Market research supports the necessity for this sole-source contract, as competition would risk significant disruptions to healthcare services. The bridge contract aims to ensure uninterrupted service until a new long-term contract can be awarded.
