The New SOE Bridge will be a continuance of the current line of incidental services under the existing program.

These selected vendors, known as Prime Vendors, are the only companies allowed to participate in this program, and amongst them is Unifire. When one of the government agencies request a certain product, each of the six vendors are contacted and utilizing the competitive business model, and then a vendor is successfully selected based on pricing.
However, prior to Unifire being awarded the contract, the company filed a pre-award protest on February 13, 2020, protesting the US Defense Logistics Agency’s decision to not accept one of Unifire’s separate competition proposal. The protest was filed with the US Court of Federal Claims on the basis that the DLA unfairly excluded their proposal based on US federal government regulations. The outcome of protest bid is pending.
