CAA Information Technology (IT) Support Services and Safety/Security Assistant Services

Army Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal has awarded a Firm Fixed Price sole-source bridge task order, solicitation W912CH-26-F-A143, to GCubed Enterprises LLC for Information Technology support and Safety/Security Assistant services. The contract is designed to maintain mission-critical operations for the Center for Army Analysis at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, from July 29, 2026, to July 28, 2027. This interim solution consists of an 11-month base period with a one-month option, providing a necessary bridge to prevent service disruptions while the agency executes a new competitive 8(a) set-aside procurement. The sole-source award was justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.103-1(c)(2)(ii) because the incumbent contractor graduated from the 8(a) program on January 10, 2026, and other vendors lack the immediate security clearances and specialized knowledge required for the mission. The scope of work includes the administration of five secure networks, cybersecurity compliance via Risk Management Framework certification, AI/ML deployment, and desktop and VTC support for approximately 200 personnel. Additionally, the contractor provides comprehensive physical and informational security management, including access control, visitor processing, and facility monitoring. Key requirements include the provision of a Senior Security Administrator to serve as Site Lead and the maintenance of personnel with high-level security clearances to ensure uninterrupted access to classified systems. Performance is benchmarked against previous task order W912CH-25-F-A123 to ensure continuity of operations and price reasonableness.
