This is a Department of the Air Force Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for a firm fixed-price, noncommercial purchase order contract awarded to General General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) on a sole-source basis. The contracting activity is AFRL/RIZ (Legacy PZLEA) located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.

The contract provides IT software (C2S2) and IT support services in support of the Laboratory Demonstration Project, with work supporting approximately 5,500 scientists, engineers, business management professionals, technicians, and mission support personnel. Services include Lab Demo administration, employee assessment and compensation, broadbanding, position classification, Contribution-based Compensation System (CCS) support, and analysis of employee assessment and compensation results. The estimated total contract value spans one base year (August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027) plus four 12-month option periods, with an overall performance period through July 31, 2031. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority for the sole-source award, citing GDIT as the only responsible source capable of meeting requirements without unacceptable delays or mission gaps. Market research conducted via RFI on May 6, 2025 and Sources Sought from June 5-22, 2026 confirmed no other contractors possessed the requisite technical expertise, system knowledge, and specialized capabilities. The Air Force determined that awarding to any other company would result in unacceptable delays due to GDIT's unique ownership of the software, deep historical knowledge since 1995, comprehensive understanding of system architecture, and critical staffing capabilities necessary to maintain continuity.
