About this opportunity
The United States Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), specifically the Systems Technology Office (AFRL/STO), has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source contract to Altair for HyperWorks software renewal. The contract is a Firm-Fixed-Price order scheduled for award on or about 17 June 2025, with a 12-month period of performance. The software renewal is classified under NAICS 541519 with a size standard of $34M and falls under the Product Service Code 7A21 for Business Application Software. While the notice indicates a sole source intention to Altair, the government is still allowing other responsible sources to submit capability statements or proposals for consideration. The notice emphasizes that this is not a competitive solicitation, but rather an opportunity for potential alternative providers to demonstrate their capabilities.
Contractors interested in responding to the notice must submit detailed information within 5 days of the notice's issuance, with a strict deadline of 14 June 2025 at 12:00 PM EDT. Responses must be emailed to Anne Mitchell and are limited to 10 pages in Microsoft Word format. Submission requirements include providing points of contact, business size classification (large U.S. business, small U.S. business, or foreign business), socioeconomic status, CAGE Code or DUNS Number, and a comprehensive explanation of how the proposed product meets the specified software characteristics. The government retains full discretion to either proceed with the sole source award to Altair or potentially convert the procurement to a competitive or small business set-aside process. If converted to a small business set-aside, FAR 52.219-14 Limitation on Subcontracting would apply, requiring small businesses to demonstrate compliance with subcontracting limitations.
