About this file
This is a Sole Source Justification and Approval (J&A) document for Advanced Simulation Technology, Inc. (ASTi) Voisus Software and Information Assurance maintenance services at the 705th Combat Training Squadron (CTS) at Kirtland AFB, NM. The document justifies a sole-source award under simplified acquisition procedures for commercial items, with a funding level between SAT and $750K.
The requirement covers maintenance for 26 Voisus servers and 450 Voisus clients total, split between two funding types: Operations & Maintenance (O&M) funding for the main battlespace (25 servers/445 clients) and Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) funding for the mini-battlespace (1 server/5 clients). The software provides Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) compliant radios used in VIRTUAL FLAG and Warfighter Event exercises. Services include quarterly software updates, IA/OS updates, prioritized RMA support, and software rehosting. A NOCA was posted on SAM.gov on January 16, 2025 with no responses received. ASTi is justified as the sole manufacturer and original developer holding exclusive rights to the system, with no authorized resellers available.

The purpose of this action is to award a contract for Advanced Simulation Technology, Inc. (ASTi) Voisus Software and Information Assurance (IA) maintenance for ASTi Voisus servers and clients located at the 705th Combat Training Squadron (CTS) at Kirtland AFB, NM. The ASTi Voisus software suite is critical to the mission of the 705 CTS in that it provides Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) compliant radios used in VIRTUAL FLAG and Warfighter Event type exercises.
This contract will require two separate CLINs with separate pricing for each because the requirement must be split between two different types of funding. DMOC's main battlespace, which is funded with Operations & Maintenance (O&M) funding, has 25 Voisus servers and 445 Voisus clients. DMOC's mini-battlespace, which is used for testing and is funded with Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) funding, has 1 Voisus server and 5 clients.
Advanced Simulation Technology, Inc. (ASTi) Voisus Software and Information Assurance (IA) maintenance for ASTi Voisus servers. There are no other providers of the Software and IA maintenance.
