About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Sole-Source a federal contract opportunity. The 341st Missile Wing at Malmstrom Air Force Base intends to award a sole-source contract to Rhodes Research for a critical system upgrade and modernization of the Crestron audiovisual system located in the Wing Operations Center. The system is currently experiencing critical software failures that have disabled its projectors. Rhodes Research, as the original developer, installer, and sole proprietor of the system's custom-engineered architecture, holds exclusive copyright and ownership of the proprietary software source code. The contracting office justifies sole-sourcing based on substantial cost duplication and unacceptable operational delays that would result from a competitive award, as an alternative vendor would be required to completely replace the system and develop new software from scratch.
Responses are due no later than 09 July 2026 by 5:00 PM MDT and should be submitted to 341 CONS at Malmstrom Air Force Base, 7015 Goddard Drive, Building 145, Malmstrom AFB, MT 59402-6863. While this is not a request for competitive offers and no formal solicitation will be issued, all responsible sources may submit quotations, capability statements, or proposals for consideration. Any response must present clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government. Written responses only are acceptable; oral communications will not be considered. If no affirmative written response is received, the award will be made without further notice. Primary and secondary points of contact are Jean-Denis Ducimetiere (406-731-4031, jean-denis.ducimetiere@us.af.mil) and Joshua Crist (406-731-3624, joshua.crist.1@us.af.mil). Additional details are provided in the attached Statement of Objectives.

Notice of Intent – 341 WOC System Technology Upgrade
Notice of Intent to Sole-Source: The 341st Missile Wing intends to award a sole-source contract to Rhodes Research to provide a critical system upgrade and modernization of the Crestron AV system located in the Wing Operations Center (WOC). This system is currently experiencing critical software issues that have rendered its projectors non-functional. As the original developer, installer, and sole proprietor of the system’s custom-engineered architecture, Rhodes Research holds the exclusive copyright and ownership of the proprietary software source code. To resolve existing system degradation and restore full operational capabilities, Rhodes Research will deliver and integrate an upgraded, updated system configuration. A competitive award to another source would result in substantial cost duplication and unacceptable operational delays, as it would necessitate the complete replacement of the system and the development of new software from scratch.
