About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force, Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC), has awarded a limited-sources contract to an undisclosed vendor for Veritas software maintenance and enterprise technical support on June 9, 2026, under the DoD Enterprise Software Initiative mandated source contract vehicle.
The justification cites strategic sourcing goals under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) framework, specifically Class Deviation 2026-O0049, establishing Veritas as the mandated brand-name source under the active DoD ESI agreement. The redacted supporting document indicates the underlying requirement involves replacement of obsolete Veritas NetBackup appliances with modernized Cohesity (formerly Veritas) backup and recovery systems due to end-of-support status as of October 1, 2025, which posed unacceptable risk to mission-critical data integrity and security. The Cohesity platform provides specialized Storage Area Network transport modes for VMware instances and integration capabilities with over 35 NetApp data storage arrays unavailable from competing vendors. The procurement includes four NetBackup appliances, two Premium 24x7 support licenses, 432 NetBackup Flex Software licenses, 60 additional Premium 24x7 support licenses, return-to-compliance services, shipping, and integration services. Performance period runs May 31, 2026, through May 30, 2027, with place of performance at Patrick Air Force Base, Florida, and subordinate integration sites in Tennessee. The statutory exception cited is GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(ii). Award value and contract number remain redacted in the public posting.
