The Air Force plans a sole-source bridge contract to keep engineering and integration support for its Medusa counter-small unmanned aircraft system (C-sUAS) in place while it prepares a competitive follow-on. - Buyer and approach - Department of the Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Force Protection Division (AFLCMC/ESSC). - The bridge is identified as a sole-source action to Leidos, Inc., justified by Leidos’ incumbent knowledge of the system and the risk of delays during a transition. - Scope of work - Provide engineering, system integration, and software development support for the Medusa C-sUAS System of Systems. - Maintain and sustain the existing Medusa software baseline, manage the system integration lab, apply cybersecurity patches, and resolve software trouble reports. - Support testing and training events and transfer knowledge to support transition to the follow-on contract. Development is expected to focus on maintaining the existing baseline. - Bridge and follow-on - The bridge is intended to continue until the competitive SEIS follow-on contract is awarded or transition is otherwise completed. - The follow-on is planned as a small-business competition. The bridge’s specific dates and duration are not legible in the available attachment text. - Items and value - No hardware purchases, product quantities, or part numbers are identified; this is a services requirement. - The notice and attachment do not provide an estimated contract value.
