Integrated Booking System (IBS)

Background
The Integrated Booking System (IBS) is a critical program for the agency, aimed at ensuring effective contractor accountability and meeting current needs.

The agency has identified an urgent and compelling need for a sole-source bridge contract with SAIC to maintain continuity of operations while the acquisition process for a follow-on contract is completed. This bridge contract is necessary due to unforeseen complications and evolving requirements that have arisen during the acquisition planning process.

Work Details
The tasks under this bridge contract include ensuring uninterrupted support for the IBS program during a transitional period, maintaining progress on the CN effort, and updating the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and contract structure to accurately reflect current needs.

The updates are essential to ensure that the subsequent acquisition process results in a contract that fully meets government requirements. The estimated value of this 6-month period of performance is deemed necessary to avoid unacceptable delays in operations.

Period of Performance
1 April 2026 through 30 September 2026
