About this opportunity
The U.S. Air Force Global Strike Command, through the 509th Contracting Squadron at Whiteman AFB, Missouri, is conducting market research for data analysis services to support the 72nd Test and Evaluation Squadron. The requirement involves an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for comprehensive data analysis services, including software development, systems engineering, ground support, and analysis tools development. Contractors must possess a Top Secret/SCI/SAR facility clearance issued by the Defense Security Service, with all personnel requiring Top Secret/SCI/SAR clearance levels to support classified work. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541330 (Engineering Services) and requires capabilities to develop software such as Flight Line Test Set Graphical User Interfaces, perform RF engineering, create documentation, procure specialized hardware, and generate authorization materials for systems operations. Interested vendors must submit capabilities statements and respond to specific questions by 4:00 PM CST on October 14, 2025, via email to the designated contracting officers, with responses focusing on project timelines, startup capabilities, concerns, and recommendations for Performance Work Statement improvements.
This sources sought notice indicates no set-aside designation is currently specified, though the government is actively seeking participation from various small business categories including Small Disadvantaged Businesses, 8(a) businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, HUBZone businesses, and Women-Owned Small Businesses to determine if a small business set-aside is feasible. The SBA size standard has been updated from $25,500,000 to $47,000,000 per Amendment 1 issued on October 6, 2025. The contract structure includes a five-year period of performance consisting of one 12-month base year and four 12-month option years, with potential six-month extensions available. No current incumbents or contractors are identified in the documentation. The procurement will utilize a task order process where individual requirements will be detailed through subsequent Request for Proposals and task orders. The government emphasizes this is purely market research to determine the optimal acquisition strategy and increase competition for the eventual solicitation.
