About this opportunity
The Air Force Research Laboratory is issuing a sole-source Firm-Fixed-Price order to Slitherine Corporation for Command Professional Edition software licenses, with an order date of 1 July 2026 and a response deadline of 2 June 2026 for capability statements from competing sources. The sole source justification, authorized under FAR 11.204(a)(2)(ii) (Brand Name), rests on Air Force Research Laboratory's determination that Command PE is essential to its requirements; the laboratory currently uses Matrix Command PE software to perform rapid-turn operational effectiveness assessments on rotorcraft aerodynamic structures and integration technologies, and market research confirms no alternative software matches its capabilities or can be modified to meet minimum requirements. The period of performance runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation within three days of this notice's issuance; responses will be evaluated solely to determine whether to conduct full and open competition or a small business set-aside procurement. Responses limited to ten pages must include points of contact with email and phone, business classification (large, small, or foreign U.S. business), CAGE code or DUNS number, relevant socioeconomic status (8(a), WOSB, EDOSB, SDVOSB, VOSB, HUBZone), and explanation of how the product meets specified characteristics. NAICS 541519, PSC 7A21, $34 million size standard.
