About this opportunity
The United States Air Force has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a sole source contract to Esteco North America, Inc. for a subscription to Esteco and Volta Tokens software. The anticipated award date is February 4, 2026, with a firm-fixed-price purchase order under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) authority, which permits sole source awards when only one source is reasonably available. The contract falls under Federal Supply Classification (FSC) 7A21 for business application software and NAICS code 541519, with a size standard of $34 million. This is a renewal subscription for software tools identified in a redacted Justification and Authorization (J&A) document. The Air Force is providing notice of this intent to allow the market an opportunity to challenge the sole source determination or propose alternative solutions.
The primary objective of this notice is to inform all responsible sources of the Government's sole source award intent and to solicit capability statements, proposals, or quotations that may demonstrate whether a full and open competitive procurement or small business set-aside should be conducted instead. Interested contractors must submit their responses within five days of the notice issuance (by February 25, 2026) to Travis McCullough at travis.mccullough.1@us.af.mil, including points of contact information, business size classification (large U.S., small U.S., or foreign), CAGE Code or UEI Number, and an explanation of product compliance. All submissions must be unclassified and limited to 10 pages in Microsoft Word format, and the Government will not compensate for any submitted information. All responsible sources are eligible to participate regardless of size or business type, though small businesses interested in a set-aside competition must demonstrate compliance with subcontracting limitations. The Government retains sole discretion to proceed with the sole source award, compete the requirement, or establish a small business set-aside based on the responses received.
