About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is soliciting quotations for three Nighthawk License Subscriptions from MDSec Consulting Ltd, a specialized software provider. The solicitation, numbered F3G1MN5099A001, is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for a brand-name specific procurement of a unique post-exploitation framework with Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) capabilities. The government will evaluate quotes using a lowest-priced, technically acceptable (LPTA) methodology, with an "all or none" requirement meaning a single contract will be awarded to one vendor who can provide the entire package. All vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database and submit electronic quotes by May 7, 2025, at 10:00 PDT to Avery Irwin. Quotes must include product specifications, CAGE code, SAM Unique Entity ID, payment terms, and contact information, with vendors failing to meet these requirements being considered non-responsive.
The procurement is designated as a Total Small Business Set-aside under NAICS code 541519, with a small business size standard of $34,000,000, and will be awarded as a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract. The previous contract (FA486124P0130) was awarded to VCLOUD TECH for $30,198.00, and the current procurement seeks three Nighthawk Renewal License Subscriptions with a performance period from September 5, 2025, to April 30, 2026. The licenses will be delivered to Nellis AFB, Nevada, and are critical for the 57th Information Aggressor Squadron's operational capabilities. The contract type ensures a fixed pricing structure, providing predictability for both the government and the contractor. Vendors must demonstrate the ability to provide the specialized software with specific evasion capabilities against Microsoft Defender and CrowdStrike Falcon without requiring extensive in-house tooling.
