NOTICE OF INTENT

The Defense Information Systems Agency/Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Circadence Corporation for RangeGPT and Range Conductor. A sole source Justification & Approval document is being coordinated and, upon approval, a copy of it will be posted here on SAM.gov to comply with the public display requirements of FAR 6.305.

The proposed contract action is for Circadence RangeGPT and Range Conductor. The Government has a need for a cloud-based, Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered solution to expedite cyber training and readiness. This solution will employ the services and capabilities of the training and simulation platform empowering organizations to build cyber readiness at scale using a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Developing a thorough training program involves a structured, multi-step process that includes assessing the needs to identify the skill gap, define clear objectives, choosing a training delivery method, creating content, implementing the training, and evaluating the results. The 30-day period of performance will move through the full cyber range workflow from concept development to after-action review with platforms supporting design, deploy, enhance, and evaluate. The services’ capabilities enable responsive end-to-end cyber range creation, democratize cyber range engineering, enable broad, automatic integration and interpolation of data sources, improve operational security and risk management, and reduce ongoing personnel requirements.

At this time, Circadence Corporation is the only source capable of providing all necessary services to include an automated accelerated technology with AI solutions that are engineer- driven to expedite the standard procedure.

The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 10 USC 2304 (c) (1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Companies who believe they can provide this service must indicate their interest in writing within 2 days of this notification and include a detailed capability statement. No reimbursement for any cost connected with providing capability information will be provided. All responsible sources will be considered in evaluating the determination to issue a sole-source contract. Quotations or proposals received in response to this notice cannot be accepted since this synopsis cannot be considered a request for quote or a request for proposal. A solicitation will NOT be posted to SAM.gov due to the sole source nature of the requirement.

The North American Classification System (NAICS) code 541512 will be used for determining company size status.
