FY25- 42d Command Post Alternate Command Console

The 42d Contracting Squadron at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, is conducting market research for an alternate command console system to complement their newly developed primary command console for the 42d Command Post. The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command seeks an Integrated Communication Console (C2) System with three telephone controller positions that must comply with JITC and DISA standards and integrate with the primary command post's UNIFY system. The system must support 911-dispatch call center volume, include digital voice recording capabilities, provide compatibility with existing Cisco voice infrastructure, and offer features such as multi-line conferencing, UHF radio integration, digital archiving, caller ID functionality, and expandability to 45 additional users. Interested vendors must respond by 12:00 P.M. Central Daylight Time on August 1, 2025, providing company information, business classification details, capabilities confirmation, two recent relevant contract references, and proof of capability. This sources sought notice emphasizes that no formal solicitation currently exists and no proposals should be submitted at this time.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation and is open to all qualified contractors under NAICS code 334210 (Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing). No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the documentation, suggesting this may represent a new requirement or system replacement initiative. The contract does not specify award values, budget ranges, or total contract value estimates in the available materials. Key deliverables include three integrated telephone controller positions with comprehensive installation services, removal of previous console components, integration with existing hotlines and phone systems, mounting in stacked console furniture with height-adjustable workstations, provision of training materials for three technicians, standard manufacturer warranties, and delivery to the 42CS/SCXE IT Warehouse at Maxwell AFB. The timeline for potential contract performance remains unspecified pending the government's decision on whether to proceed with a formal solicitation based on market research responses.
