About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces published a Limited Sole Source Justification Notice for the Centralized Access for Data Exchange program (CAFDEx) software subscription to support the Wing Air Card program. The CAFDEx system is used to reconcile and track fuel transactions in accordance with Air Force Instruction 11-253, providing comprehensive data interfaces with the Defense Logistics Agency, aircraft inventory, aviation fuel transactions, fuel rates, and financial data to enable automatic reconciliation and audit readiness. The Air Force justified the sole source procurement under FAR 6.302-1 due to the proprietary nature of the CAFDEx software, which was developed entirely at private expense by a single vendor, with no other vendors responding to a Notice of Intent to Sole Source posted on May 20, 2025. Contract FA500425F0066 was awarded on July 27, 2025, to an undisclosed vendor for an undisclosed amount, though the funding level is indicated to be between the Simplified Acquisition Threshold and $750,000. The acquisition will utilize GSA Advantage Multiple Award Schedule pricing to ensure fair and reasonable costs, with the contract being processed by the 354th Contracting Squadron, Base Support Flight.
