FY26 Managed Attribution Re-Compete for ACC/A22C

The Air Force's Air Combat Command (ACC) is conducting a re-compete solicitation for a Managed Attribution solution, specifically seeking to procure Authentic8 Silo for Research (SfR) software and associated egress point configurations under Request for Quotation (RFQ) FA489026Q0002. This is a brand-name commercial item acquisition issued under FAR Part 13 simplified procedures, classified under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers) with a $47 million size standard. The requirement encompasses four line items: three Authentic8 Tier egress point configurations (one CONUS Tier 1 and two OCONUS variants) and 3,000 units of Silo for Research-Pro software licenses to support the USAF's Publicly Available Information (PAI) program. Offerors will be evaluated using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach, with technical acceptability requiring demonstration of clear understanding of scope and proven capability to provide the specified Authentic8 part numbers; any offeror unable to provide the required products will be deemed ineligible. Quotations must be submitted via email by February 2, 2026 at 3:00 PM EST, with offerors required to be registered in both SAM and WAWF at the time of submission.

This solicitation has no set-aside designation and represents a follow-on award for the incumbent Authentic8 solution, which was determined through market research and competitive Requests for Information to be the only vendor solution meeting ACC's requirements for supporting large user bases and integrated network capabilities with CAC-enabled NIPRNet and AFNet integration. The contract will commence March 1, 2026 and extends through February 28, 2027 for the base period, with three one-year option periods extending through February 28, 2030, with all work performed at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia. The estimated contract value is anticipated at a government cost determined to be fair and reasonable through FAR Part 13 price analysis techniques, though specific pricing ranges are not disclosed in the solicitation documents. Offerors must provide complete pricing for all four periods (base year plus three option years), submit company information including CAGE code and UEI, and include business size certifications along with a designated point of contact. This requirement supports ACC's mission to maintain operational intelligence capabilities through a proven, validated technology solution integrated into Air Force networks.
