The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright Patterson Air Force Base has issued a Special Notice regarding Engineering, Professional and Administrative Support Services (EPASS) for the F-16 program. This notice announces a sole source contract award to Sumaria Systems, LLC for bridge action services supporting the F-16 Program Office. The contract falls under NAICS code 541715 for Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, and PSC code R425 for Professional Engineering/Technical Support. The notice was posted on June 6, 2025, with the same due date, indicating an immediate procurement action. A redacted Justification and Approval document is referenced to support this sole source determination.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community of the sole source award for comprehensive support services that enable the F-16 Program Office's acquisition and sustainment activities. The A&AS support encompasses a broad spectrum of professional capabilities including acquisition, engineering, scientific research, testing, intelligence, security management, and administrative functions, all focused on executing effective cyber resiliency initiatives. Since this is announced as a sole source contract to Sumaria Systems, LLC, there are no competitive bidding opportunities or eligibility criteria for other contractors to participate. The services support the entire lifecycle of F-16 operations, from research and development through sustainment activities, emphasizing performance-based service delivery. The inclusion of a redacted Justification and Approval document suggests this sole source award required special authorization due to the specialized nature of the requirements or unique contractor capabilities.
