The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command's 763rd Enterprise Sourcing Squadron is conducting a sources sought announcement to identify potential vendors for Palo Alto Software through a Brand Name Only procurement. The government seeks authorized Palo Alto resellers capable of providing two specific software configurations: Software NGFW Lab with Standard Support (115 units) and Software NGFW (815 units), both designed to deploy VM-Series, CN-Series, Subscription Services, and Virtual Panorama to manage Software Firewalls for one-year terms. Interested businesses must be registered in SAM.gov and demonstrate their capability to provide the required Palo Alto software solutions. Responses must include detailed business information such as company name, contact details, CAGE Code, Unique Entity Identifier, business size and type classification, available contract vehicles, and a capability statement. The response deadline is October 9, 2025, at 12:00 PM CST, with questions directed to Contract Specialist Hunter Ottensmeier and Contracting Officer Allye Boehne.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation and is open to both large and small businesses, including various small business subsets such as Small Disadvantaged Businesses, HUBZone Firms, Certified 8(a) companies, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, and Woman-Owned Small Businesses. The procurement falls under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers) with a size standard of $47 million. The total requirement encompasses 930 software units across both configurations, with 115 units for the Lab configuration and 815 units for the standard Software NGFW configuration. The document does not identify any current incumbents or provide specific budget ranges, emphasizing that this is strictly a market research effort with no guarantee of contract award. All services are structured for one-year terms, indicating the government's immediate need for enterprise firewall management solutions.
