About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force, 42d Contracting Squadron, intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price contract to SCN Worldwide, LLC for Scantron Eva Exam software, iNSIGHT ES4 scanners, and OEM support services to support the Holm Center for Officer Accessions and Citizen Development at Officer Training School, Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, with a response deadline of July 29, 2026 at 12:00 PM Central Standard Time. This is a notice of intent only; no formal competitive solicitation will be issued publicly.

The Air Force justifies sole source procurement on the grounds that Scantron's Eva Exam software is the only solution capable of maintaining native downward compatibility with the Holm Center's existing ParTest and ParScore testing databases and enabling seamless import of thousands of hours of historical test item performance data across multiple officer training cohorts. SCN Worldwide, LLC has confirmed in writing that it is the sole manufacturer and exclusive distributor with no authorized resellers or third-party channel partners available.

The requirement supports annual administration of over 5,000 student assessments and encompasses hybrid paper-based and online test delivery, immediate scoring, test item bank management, role-based security, and customizable analytics organized by organizational hierarchy. The contract includes a base year (30 August 2026 through 29 August 2027) plus four one-year option periods extending through 29 August 2031.

Interested parties capable of meeting requirements must submit written responses including current capability demonstrations, company name, point of contact, business type and size, CAGE Code, and DUNS number to SrA Malik Bacon (malik.bacon@us.af.mil, 334-953-2253). Respondents must be registered in SAM and eligible to process invoices through WAWF. If no responsible, responsive offers are received by the deadline, the contract will be awarded directly to SCN Worldwide, LLC.
