**Posted:** October 06, 2026
**Identifier:** FA238126CB001
**NAICS:** 541512, 541330

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.
