Section A: General Contract Information

Is this a Bridge Action as defined in the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan? Yes No

Contracting Activity: 2d Contracting Squadron

Project/Program Name: Activu Support License

Purchase Request / Local ID Number:

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $39,276.00

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

The Air Operations Center necessitates round-the-clock technical assistance for their Activu software/hardware infrastructure.

This comprehensive support entails uninterrupted phone/email assistance, proactive maintenance support visits, and rapid-response emergency support. A robust support plan is indispensable to guarantee the uninterrupted operation of all Activu Corporation's proprietary equipment, thereby ensuring seamless support for Continental U.S. (CONUS) and Outside the Continental U.S. (OCONUS) Global Strike Operations.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

Activu Corporation is the exclusive designer, developer, and provider of the proprietary Activu software currently installed at the 608th AOC, Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana. Technical work on their systems is strictly limited to certified Activu personnel.

Activu headquarters in Denville, New Jersey, is responsible for the development, maintenance, and completion of all Activu software systems. The software is exclusively available to the purchasing end user and not available for resale or distribution through any third-party channels or support organizations.

Since 2021, Activu has served as the sole vendor for the Common Operating Picture utilized by our operators on the ops floor. Interruptions in service would significantly impact mission success. The current contract is scheduled to expire this month, and a lapse in support is a significant risk without renewal.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Activu Corporation is the exclusive designer, developer, and provider of the specialized Activu software installed at the 608th AOC/8th AF, Barksdale Air Force Base, in Louisiana.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

As the sole designer, developer, and provider of the 608th AOC/8th AF's current Ops Center's related products, Activu Corporation holds a unique position, making it impractical to seek competitive bids for this requirement. The exclusivity in Activu's licensing to outside organizations or individuals ensures that this requirement will remain with Activu Corporation until further notice.
