AFLCMC Randolph AFB

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Randolph Air Force Base is a defense-sector sub-agency that manages lifecycle support and materiel acquisition for Air Force operations. It executes a thin, episodic contracting footprint focused on specialized acquisitions, with 134 total contract awards spanning from 2001 to the present and a combined award potential value of $104.9 million.

Activity over the last five years is sparse: the center issued one award in 2018, one in 2019, one in 2020, two in 2024, and two year-to-date in 2026. The combined dollars obligated stand at $230.3 million against the stated potential value, reflecting earlier contract years where obligations exceeded initial award ceilings. Among recent awards (last five years), the competitive landscape is highly fragmented, with Carahsoft Technology Corp leading by award count at two recent awards (combined potential value $12 thousand), followed by Datacamp, Inc. and Udemy, Inc. at one award each. The top three vendors account for 100 percent of recent awards by count, but because all recent awards carry minimal reported values in the contract record, the dollar-value ranking produces identical names with negligible differentiation. Across the 56 distinct primes in the portfolio history, concentration is highly fragmented.

The center awards predominantly without set-aside designations: 85 percent of all 134 awards carry no set-aside, while 9 percent are small-business awards (Total Small Business category). Competitive 8(a) and 8(a) Sole Source awards each account for 1 percent, with HUBZone and Partial Small Business making up the remainder. The low frequency of recent awards and the minimal dollar values reported in recent contract records suggest the center operates through low-value or pre-priced vehicle calls rather than full competitive solicitations.

One pre-solicitation opportunity is currently open: a Request for Information (RFI) for commercial Wi-Fi internet services and equipment installation at Building 977, Joint Base San Antonio Randolph AFB, posted October 8, 2026 and due October 14, 2026. The center is conducting market research under NAICS code 517112 (Wireless Telecommunications Carriers) to identify capable sources and determine small-business set-aside eligibility, with interest in 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned small business concerns. This is a sources-sought phase; no RFP or award commitment is implied.
