J&A to Bridge MOD_FA8307-23-F-B173

This action is a sole-source, six (6) month bilateral extension of services under Task Order FA8307-23-FB173 P00035 with Open San Consulting, LLC (OSC Edge). This modification is required to prevent an immediate and critical gap in service for the Command and Control the Information Environment (C2IE) program.

The extension will provide essential continuity of operations while the Government finalizes the transition and award of the follow-on 8(a) sole-source contract (FA8307-26-R-B045) to an Alaska Native Corporation (ANC) entity, which has already been formally offered to and accepted by the Small Business Administration (SBA). This extension will be executed as a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) bilateral modification, utilizing negotiated fair and reasonable rates based on the current Year 3 pricing structure.
