This is a Notice of Intent (presolicitation document) announcing a sole-source contract award.

The Air Force Test Center Operational Contracting Division (AFTC/PZIOA) at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida intends to award a firm-fixed-price (FFP) commercial purchase order to Safran Defense & Space, Inc. (3005 Business Park Drive, Norcross, GA 3007) under CAGE: 1UAE7. The requirement is for a Safran Common Access Recorder (CAR) License Bundle (Part Number: S163482, Quantity: 1). The statutory authority for this sole-source acquisition is 41 USC 1901 & 1903, implemented via FAR 12.102(b), with an effective date of February 1, 2026. Competition is limited due to Safran Defense & Space being the only vendor capable of fulfilling the requirement, as the proprietary software must seamlessly integrate with the squadron's existing Safran Data Systems architecture. The NAICS code is #334511, and the size standard is 1,350 employees. The anticipated award date is August 21, 2026.

This notice is not a request for proposals or quotations.
