IAGSC J and A_Redacted.pdf

This Justification and Approval (J&A) document supports a sole-source contract with MTSI for the Implementation of Advanced Government Simulation Capabilities (IAGSC) for the Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC). The two-year contract, valued at an undisclosed amount, will be awarded under a GSA OASIS task order from March 2025 to March 2027, with a potential 6-month extension. The requirement involves software development, cybersecurity, systems administration, and software integration services for the Air Force's Software Directorate Experimentation Division, focusing on advanced simulation capabilities for 4th and 5th generation aircraft platforms, weapons systems, and operational testing environments.

The J&A justifies a sole-source award to the incumbent contractor (MTSI) to prevent a service disruption, citing the complexity of ongoing software development and the significant time investment required to build team competencies. Market research showed 33 software vendors responded to a Request for Information, but MTSI was determined to be the only vendor capable of meeting the government's specific requirements within the required timeframe. The contract will support critical operational imperatives identified by the Secretary of the Air Force, including software development for space, aircraft, joint simulation environments, and intelligence surveillance systems across multiple security levels.
