Description

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract modification to Intrepid L.L.C., the incumbent contractor under contract HQ0858-20-C-0004. This bridge action will extend the period of performance of the existing contract by six (6) months from April 15, 2026, to October 14, 2026, to prevent a disruption of mission-critical services. The extension will consist of one (1) three (3) month base and three (3) one (1) month option periods to be executed as necessary. The estimated value of this extension is $2,858,000. The contract modification is planned for award on or before April 14, 2026, to ensure no lapse in service. This bridge action is necessary to ensure the continuity of essential VIPC 2.0 services currently supporting multiple MDA functional organizations. These services include, but are not limited to, graphic design, multimedia production, photography, videography, presentation support, supporting high-level briefings, and fulfilling public affairs requirements. These services are vital to the Agency's mission and cannot be interrupted. A lapse in service would result in mission degradation and unacceptable schedule disruptions while the competitive award of the follow-on contract, VIPC 3.0, is completed. This action is being conducted pursuant to the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as implemented by the Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Overhaul 6.103-1, ""Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements,"" citing unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency�s requirements. A competitive follow-on contract (VIPC 3.0) is currently under evaluation, but the source selection and subsequent transition will not be completed before the current contract expires on April 14, 2026. This bridge extension is essential to prevent a critical gap in mission-essential services. The incumbent contractor, Intrepid L.L.C., is the only source capable of continuing performance without incurring an unacceptable delay. The incumbent's experienced staff possess the required security clearances and are intimately familiar with MDA complex systems, processes, and operational requirements. A transition to any other contractor for this short-term bridge would necessitate a significant and disruptive ramp-up period resulting in unacceptable schedule delays and mission risk to existing requirements. This sole-source action is the most prudent and efficient approach to ensure continuity of operations and protect the integrity of the ongoing competitive process for the long-term requirement. This notice is NOT a request for competitive proposals and is for informational purposes only. No solicitation document is available. However, MDA will consider all capability statements received from responsible sources within seven (7) calendar days of this notice's publication date. Interested parties who believe they have the capability to perform these services without causing an unacceptable delay may submit a capability statement that clearly details their ability to meet the requirements stated herein. Responses must be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a genuine capability to begin performance on April 15, 2026, without a transition or ramp-up period. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government will not reimburse any cost associated with capabilities statements or other correspondence submitted in response to this notice. Primary Point of Contact Submittal Data: Email: mda.redstone.msk.mbx.vipc-contracts@mail.mil DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A. Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Approved for Public Release 26-MDA-12332 (8 Apr 26)
