Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) & Work-Life Services-BRIDGE

The Department of Defense, through Washington Headquarters Services, intends to award a sole source bridge contract to Magellan Federal, Inc., for Employee Assistance Programs and Work-Life Services, utilizing a combination of Firm-Fixed Price and Time and Material ordering methods. This five-month contract, effective from July 10, 2026, through January 9, 2027, includes a three-month base period and a three-month optional extension, and is designed to maintain continuity of critical support services for Defense Civilian Personnel Advisory Service employees while a long-term contract is being procured. The services are intended to enhance employee well-being and job performance by addressing personal and professional issues and preventing their recurrence, aligning with the mission of ensuring the safety and welfare of civilian personnel. The contract is being issued under FAR 6.302-1, as Magellan Federal is the only responsible source capable of fulfilling the requirement, and no other provider can meet the agency’s needs. The NAICS code 624190 applies, with a size standard of $16 million, and the PSC is Q201 for Medical – Health Care.

All inquiries must be directed to the designated point of contact, Bafour Asante, or secondary contact Kealon Wallace, via the provided phone numbers and email addresses. The notice was posted on June 24, 2026, with responses due by June 26, 2026, though no formal response mechanism is required due to the sole source nature of the action. This bridge contract ensures uninterrupted service delivery without disruption to the Department’s workforce during the transition to a future long-term procurement.
