About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source a federal contract opportunity. The 341st Contracting Squadron at Malmstrom Air Force Base (MAFB) in Montana intends to award a sole source contract to Acoustic Technology, Inc. (ATI) for the installation of five new outdoor high-powered speaker stations as part of the GIANT VOICE System Expansion. The procurement includes 50-foot steel poles, solar power packages, battery backups, and all necessary communication equipment. The contract action is justified under FAR/RFO 13.101(b) based on system integration requirements—the existing GIANT VOICE system uses ATI technology, and integrating another vendor's incompatible hardware and software would create significant integration risks and compromise system reliability. The NAICS/PSC codes are 238210/N059.
This notice explicitly states that it is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document is available. No award will be made based on responses to this notice; responses are used for planning purposes only. Interested parties must submit written responses demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government by 5:00 PM Mountain Daylight Time on Thursday, 13 August 2026, to either SSgt Nicholas Harold (nicholas.harold@us.af.mil) or T. Cameron Swathwood (todd.swathwood.3@us.af.mil). No reimbursement for costs will be provided, and telephone communication is not available for inquiries.

HEADQUARTERS 341st Missile Wing (AFGSC)
29 July 2026
Notice of Intent to Sole Source
Title: GIANT VOICE System Expansion (High-Powered Outdoor Speaker Stations)
Primary Point of Contact (POC): SSgt Nicholas Harold, nicholas.harold@us.af.mil
Alternate POC: T. Cameron Swathwood, todd.swathwood.3@us.af.mil
NAICS/PSC: 238210/N059
Description: The 341st Contracting Squadron (341 CONS) at Malmstrom Air Force Base (MAFB), Montana intends to award a sole source contract to Acoustic Technology, Inc. (“ATI”), for the installation of five new outdoor high-powered speaker stations, complete with 50-foot steel poles, solar power packages, battery backups, and all necessary communication equipment at MAFB.
This contract action is required due to the need to expand the acoustic footprint of MAFB’s existing GIANT VOICE system due to new on-base construction. The existing system uses ATI technology, and it would be prohibitively difficult and expensive to integrate another company’s technology into
it. Any attempt to utilize a different company’s technology would introduce incompatible hardware and software and create significant integration risks that would compromise the reliability of the entire system. Therefore since system expansion is required, additional ATI products are required.
The authority for this action is FAR/RFO 13.101(b).
This notice is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document is available. No award will be made based on responses to this notice. Any responses/information submitted in response to this notice will be used for planning purposes only and shall not be considered as a commitment by the Government for any purpose. Any responses to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. A determination not to compete this contract ceiling increase based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. No reimbursement for costs connected with providing capability information will be provided.
Responses to this notice shall be submitted in writing to the POCs identified above no later than 5:00 PM Mountain Daylight Time, Thursday, 13 August 2026. 341 CONS will not accept any responses received after this time and date. Telephone communication is not available.
