About this opportunity
The United States Air Forces in Europe - Air Forces Africa, procuring through the 700th Contracting Squadron, seeks 60 and 90 Blank Slate brand web-based training platform subscription licenses and related setup services, with proposals due August 27 at 3:00 PM Central European Time and an anticipated award date of September 2. This is a sole-source, brand-name procurement under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), awarded to Global Research Innovation and Technology, Inc. (UEI: EMLVYFALK7J9), an authorized reseller for Blank Slate Technologies LLC.
Place of performance is Ramstein Air Base, Germany. The procurement supports the 52nd Fighter Wing at Spangdahlem Air Base (60 licenses) and 31st Fighter Wing at Aviano Air Base (90 licenses) with a performance period running September 10, 2026 through September 9, 2027. The platform is justified as the only solution capable of meeting all technical requirements because it uniquely combines cognitive readiness training for defense and aviation users, commander-focused analytics dashboards, and IL4 hosting capability tailored for high-consequence defense environments. Significant F-16 content has already been developed within Blank Slate at other U.S. Air Force F-16 Wings (20th FW at Shaw AFB and 35th FW at Misawa AB); procuring an alternative platform would impose unacceptable duplication of cost and effort. NAICS code is 541519, Other Computer Related Services; PSC is 7A20. The contract is firm-fixed price with all pricing including FOB Destination delivery to Ramstein. Quotes must remain valid for 180 days. Evaluation is based on price and acceptability per solicitation requirements; only new equipment is acceptable. Submission instructions require registration in SAM.gov and email delivery to 2nd Lt Carlos Camara and Aubreeana Taylor; oral and late quotes will not be accepted. Standard DFARS and FAR clauses apply, including safeguarding covered defense information (252.204-7012) and Wide Area WorkFlow payment submission requirements (252.232-7003).
Notice text
SOLICITATON NOTICE: The 700th Contracting Squadron (700 CONS) intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) purchase order on a sole source basis to Global Research Innovation and Technology, Inc. (UEI: EMLVYFALK7J9) who is an authorized reseller as informed by Blank Slate Technologies LLC. This intended contract will cover the procurement of Blank Slate brand web-based pilot knowledge training platform. The anticipated award date is 02 September 2026.
In accordance with (IAW) FAR 6.103-1(d), this is a brand-name procurement where the Blank Slate brand platform is the only platform capable of meeting all technical requirements because it provides a unique combination of capabilities specifically tailored for high-consequence defense environments.
a. Existing Government Investment: Blank Slate is already in use in other F-16 Wings within the U.S. Air Force (20FW at Shaw AFB and 35FW at Misawa AB). Significant F-16 content has already been developed within the Blank Slate platform. Procuring a different knowledge program would require this content to be recreated, resulting in an unacceptable duplication of cost and effort for the Government.
b. Unique Capabilities: The platform's primary focus on cognitive readiness for defense and aviation users, commanderfocused analytics dashboards, and its ability to be hosted in an IL4 environment are key discriminators not found in competitor products.
This notice is not a request for competitive quotes. However interested parties may submit a capability statement upon the referenced deadline within the attached solicitation (FA561326Q0063) demonstrating their ability to provide the requirement described herein. Upon receipt of any such notifications, the Contracting Officer will determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement or proceed with sole source action. Responses received will be evaluated, however; a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received, the 700 CONS will proceed with the sole source award to Global Research Innovation and Technology, Inc.
See attached solicitation (COMBO-SOLICITATION FA561326Q0063)
