MEMORANDUM FOR INTERESTED PARTIES
FROM: AFLCMC/HNCKC
230 Hall Blvd San Antonio, TX 78243-7081
SUBJECT: Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source Contract to Enghouse Networks (CAGE:
7US94)
1. This memorandum serves as a Notice of Intent to award a sole-source contract. The Air Force
Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC/HNCKC) intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract to Enghouse Networks for the acquisition of proprietary software licenses and associated support. This action is conducted under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by the Revoluationary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 6.103-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements."
2. A technical evaluation of the Government's requirement determined the need for the specific items below, which will be structured as the following Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) to establish a new, configuration-controlled system baseline.
a. CLIN 0001: EngHouse Control Switch
b. CLIN 0002: EngHouse BorderNet 4000
c. CLIN 0003: Annual Software support and warranties
3. The result of our market research and justification are as follows: Enghouse Networks is the sole developer, owner, and manufacturer of the required software. The Government's system architecture is specifically designed around this proprietary software, and no other products are interoperable. Enghouse Networks does not authorize resellers for this scope of work.
Therefore, the proposed source is the only one capable of meeting the Government's needs without causing unacceptable delays and substantial duplication of cost.
4. This is a notice of intent and not a request for competitive proposals. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which will be considered by the agency. All responses must be received by 12:00 CST, 14 April, 2026 and provide sufficient detail to allow for a determination that the respondent could meet the full requirement.
5. Any questions concerining this matter should be directed to the undersigned at philip.carder.2@us.af.mil.
