About this opportunity
The United States Air Force Research Laboratory has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Firm-Fixed-Price Purchase Order to the Institute of Physics (IOP). The procurement is for a subscription service and will be executed under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), which allows for sole source procurement when only one source is reasonably available. The contract's period of performance will span from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, with provisions for two additional option years. The procurement falls under Product Service Code (PSC) 7630 and North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 513120, with a size standard of 1000 employees. While the notice indicates a sole source intent, the Air Force is still open to receiving capability statements from other potential providers.
Contractors interested in responding to this Special Notice must submit their capabilities by December 9, 2024, at 12:00 PM EST to designated points of contact Ja'Quan Dangerfield and Kerisha Wordlaw. Responses must be unclassified, limited to 10 pages in Microsoft Word format, and include specific details such as contact information, business size status, socioeconomic designations, and CAGE/UEI numbers. Respondents must also demonstrate how their product meets the specified characteristics. While this is not a competitive solicitation, the Air Force will consider all submissions to potentially determine whether a full and open competitive procurement or small business set-aside might be more appropriate. If the government decides to compete the requirement, it will issue a combined synopsis/solicitation under FAR 12.603. Small businesses interested in a potential set-aside must demonstrate compliance with FAR 52.219-14, Limitation on Subcontracting.
