The Department of Defense, specifically the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), intends to award a sole source bridge contract to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) for systems engineering and technical support services. This contract is necessary to ensure the continuity of services provided to the NAWCAD Systems Engineering Department until a competitive follow-on contract can be awarded. The contract will cover a three-month base period with an option for an additional three months, as the agency requires these services to avoid unacceptable delays in fulfilling its operational needs. Interested parties may express their interest and technical capabilities by submitting responses to the designated contacts, Tiffany L. Corbett and Sotanya Rushing, by 2:00 PM (Eastern Time) on October 14, 2024.
