About this opportunity
The Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright Patterson Air Force Base has awarded a sole-source contract for American Sign Language interpreter services to the incumbent contractor on August 7, 2026, valued at $50,000 for a 5-month bridge procurement.
The justification rests on unusual and compelling urgency. Administrative delays, mandatory Executive Order workload increases, and time-sensitive funding actions deferred the competitive follow-on procurement. The incumbent contractor is the only source capable of fulfilling the short-term requirement without service interruption, maintaining an active, fully operational pool of pre-vetted ASL interpreters. Onboarding a new vendor would require a 30- to 60-day transition window for facility access and background checks, resulting in inflated rates and unrecoverable onboarding costs. The contracting activity cited RFO 12.102(a) (Commercial Products and Services) and noted that only one source is available. These services are mandatory under Sections 501 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 to provide reasonable accommodations and ensure effective communication for deaf and hard-of-hearing personnel. The contracting activity is AFLCMC/PZIBB Operational Contracting. Place of performance is Wright Patterson Air Force Base. The determination was signed August 3, 2026.
