The General Service Administration (GSA), Federal Acquisition Service (FAS), Assisted Acquisition Services Division (AASD) has received a requirement to provide a bridge task order for research and development (R&D) engineering services, hardware development, and testing for air and ground-based weapon system technologies to identify current threats, system vulnerabilities, and develop solutions in support of the Technology Development Directorate (TDD) of the Combat Capabilities Development Command, Aviation and Missile Center (DEVCOM AvMC), located at Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Alabama. The nature of this action is to secure authority to continue support for no more than 12 months, by awarding a Time and Materials (T&M) Task Order with a six (6) month base period and a 6-month Option to Extend Services in accordance with FAR clause 52.217-8. The current task order expires March 5, 2023, with no additional options available to extend services. While a follow-on effort is being procured by US Army Contracting Command – Redstone Arsenal (ACC-Redstone), the projected award date of this follow-on effort currently falls on May 30, 2023, which is after the current task order’s expiration date. Due to the gap between this task order’s expiration date and the follow-on effort’s projected award date, the client requested a bridge to allow for continued performance with no break in service. Based on the client’s understanding of the potential award timeline and taking into account anticipated milestone slippages and the elevated post-award protest risk where a CICA Stay/Stop Work Notice could be issued for the performance of the follow-on award, the client requested the period of performance (PoP) for this bridge be structured as a 6-month Base Period with a 6 month Extension of Services (EOS) option.
