About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Sole-Source for a hardware upgrade contract. The 341st Missile Wing intends to award a sole-source contract to Rhodes Research for hardware upgrades of two system endpoints (encoder/decoder and projectors) in the Wing Operations Center (WOC). Rhodes Research is the original developer, installer, and sole proprietor of the system's custom-engineered architecture and holds exclusive copyright and ownership of the proprietary software, source code, and design. The Government asserts that a competitive award would result in substantial cost duplication, as it would necessitate complete system replacement and development of new software from scratch.
Responses are due no later than 14 August 2026 by 5:00 PM MDT and should be submitted to 341 CONS, Malmstrom AFB, Montana. All responsible sources may submit a quotation, capability statement, or proposal demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Oral communications are not acceptable. If no affirmative written response is received, the award will be made without further notice. The contracting office is located at 7015 Goddard Dr, Building 145, Malmstrom AFB, MT 59402-6863, with primary point of contact Jean-Denis Ducimetiere (jean-denis.ducimetiere@us.af.mil, 406-731-4031) and secondary point of contact Rhiannon DeForest (rhiannon.deforest.2@us.af.mil, 406-731-4009). 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 hardware upgrades of the two system endpoints (encoder/decoder and projectors) located in the Wing Operations Center (WOC). 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, and design. To resolve existing system degradation and restore full operational capabilities, Rhodes Research will deliver and integrate upgraded hardware.
