About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center has awarded a sole-source contract to Ford Audio-Video Systems LLC (CAGE 0FD57) for Brightsign digital signage hardware, software licenses, and cloud hosting renewal under contract FA813626P0030 on September 16, 2026, under a simplified acquisition single-source justification.
The justification, cited under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), rests on system continuity and switching costs. The Air Force procured 30 Brightsign systems through a GPC purchase from Ford Audio-Video Systems in 2024, including software licenses, support, warranty, and cloud hosting. The current award covers 31 Brightsign hardware units (including 256GB M2 PCIE NVME SSD and TAA Player units), Enterprise License Add-on (50 seats), Adslide Player Software (31 units), Content Manager Lite renewal through 2028, 2+3 year warranty and support for Tinker Air Force Base, four 4-hour remote configuration sessions, and 2+3 year software support and cloud hosting platform. Switching to a different software provider would require full system and infrastructure replacement, system reconfiguration, TAA compliance re-approval, and redeployment on Tinker AFB networks, resulting in significant cost increases. The contracting officer determined on September 9, 2026, that only a single source was reasonably available. The justification notes that future upgrades will require market research and ITEC accreditation validation, with competition anticipated when the Brightsign system becomes obsolete. Place of performance is Tinker Air Force Base.
