Space Based Infrared Radar Operations Support (SBIRS OS) Bridge

The Space Based Infrared Radar Operations Support (SBIRS OS) Bridge is a non-competitive, sole-source task order issued by the U.S. Space Force Space Acquisition Integration Office under the GSA OASIS+ Small Business IDIQ. Awarded to Bowhead Information Technology Services, LLC, the contract provides critical performance-based services for Mission Delta 4 to ensure uninterrupted missile warning, battle-space characterization, and technical intelligence operations. The scope of work includes SBIRS crew force management, operator curriculum development, and counter-space intelligence analysis and training for both SBIRS and Legacy Defense Support Program systems. This bridge action is justified under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(A) due to urgent mission requirements and administrative delays, aiming to prevent a gap in mission-critical services. The period of performance runs from January 1, 2026, to April 30, 2026, with services performed in Aurora, Colorado. The contract is structured as Firm-Fixed-Price with cost-reimbursable travel. Bowhead was selected as the sole provider because its personnel, as the successor to the incumbent Delta Solutions and Strategies, possess the necessary security clearances and institutional knowledge required for immediate performance, which would otherwise be unavailable through a competitive process within the required timeframe.
