About this file

This document is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification form for a federal contract opportunity supporting the CAOC-X Rancher Kubernetes Environment. The procurement involves (60) SUSE Rancher Suite licenses (1-2 Sockets, up to 64 Cores, Priority Subscription), 80 hours of consulting services, and associated travel to the site. The justification highlights that Rancher is the current technology being used, and replacing the system would be cost-prohibitive. The acquisition is through the Acquisition Management and Integration Center (AMIC)/PKBC-OL at Hurlburt Field AFB, FL, with a procurement request number F2FT58507A001 for the COC-X Rancher Kubernetes Environment Support program.

The solicitation is a special notice seeking capabilities statements or proposals from vendors who can meet the requirements by 11:00 PM Central Standard Time on 9 May 2025. The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command will evaluate responses, with the Contracting Officer retaining discretion on whether to compete the procurement. The justification emphasizes the proprietary nature of the current software environment and the unique qualifications required, which supports the sole source approach under simplified acquisition procedures.
