About this opportunity
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/RQV) is seeking to procure Command Professional Edition (Command PE) software, a specialized modeling and simulation tool that enables force-on-force simulations of military technology concepts. The software is critical for conducting multidisciplinary operations analysis and assessing operational effectiveness of aerospace vehicle technologies. Potential contractors must submit a 10-page capability statement by May 15, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST to Travis McCullough, detailing their company's qualifications, contact information, business size, socioeconomic status, and CAGE/UEI codes. Contractors must also demonstrate how their product meets the specified software characteristics. While this is currently a sole source notice for Slitherine Corporation, the Air Force will consider responses to potentially compete the requirement and may explore a small business set-aside option.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside is currently designated, though a small business set-aside remains possible under FAR 52.219-14. Slitherine Corporation is the intended sole source provider, with the procurement seeking one Command PE Premium Edition license and two Command PE Standard Edition licenses. The contract is expected to be a firm-fixed-price purchase order for a one-year period from June 1, 2025, to May 31, 2026. The acquisition will be funded through FY25 3600 funds, with the NAICS code 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and a size standard of $34 million. The total contract value is not explicitly stated, but the documents suggest this is a targeted, specialized software procurement to support classified and unclassified AFRL/RQV mission requirements.
Notice text
Command Professional Edition is Modeling and Simulation software (M&S) that allows researchers to conduct force-on-force simulations of friendly technology concepts against the adversary's capabilities. It provides a graphical interface that is easy to use and a large database of military systems that can be easily added to scenarios. The Command Professional Edition licenses are required for Mission Operations M&S Assessment critical to the ARFL/RQV mission. The requested software is required to perform multidisciplinary operations analysis to guide measures of performance for design and analysis; AFRL/RQV currently utilizes the Matrix Command PE software to perform operational effectiveness assessments on the operational benefits of RQV aerodynamic, structural, and integration technologies. AFRL/RQV intends to integrate Command PE into a conceptual design process so that engineers can quickly assess the impact of aerospace vehicle parameter changes on mission effectiveness. The Premium version offers the scripting and database interface features that are essential to incorporating Command PE into this process. This work supports several classified and unclassified efforts in the AFRL/RQV portfolio.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the Government. The Government will consider responses received within 5 days of the issuance of this notice. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct a full and open competitive procurement or a small business set-aside competitive procurement.
