About this opportunity

The Air National Guard (ANG) has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source a contract for Centralized Access for Data Exchange (CAFDEX) Management Direct Support Services. This notice is issued in compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.203(a), which requires agencies to publish notice of proposed contract actions at least 15 days before solicitation issuance. The contract will support the ANG A4's Flying Hour Program and Weapon Sustainment Support mission and is categorized under NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services). The government intends to execute this action using FAR 8 ordering procedures, indicating the use of established government schedules or blanket purchase agreements.

The primary objective of this sole source procurement is to maintain continuity of the CAFDEX platform while the Air Force develops its own software solution. The ANG has relied on CAFDEX for an extended period and requires immediate availability of this off-the-shelf capability to meet critical reporting deadlines established by Headquarters Air Force (HAF), which directly influence the Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) process. Failure to meet these HAF timelines and suspenses would result in reductions and reallocation of flying hours and operational dollars to other commands. The notice was posted on January 13, 2026, with a deadline of January 28, 2026, establishing a 15-day response period for interested parties. While this is a sole source action, the published notice allows for potential contractor input or challenges during the prescribed timeline before final contract award.

Notice text

The purpose of this special notice is to comply with FAR 5.203(a), "An agency must transmit a notice of proposed contract action to the GPE (see 5.201). All publicizing and response times are calculated based on the date of publication. The publication date is the date the notice appears on the GPE. The notice must be published at least 15 days before issuance of a solicitation, or a proposed contract action the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 6.302, except that, for acquisitions of commercial products or commercial services".

The Government intends to issue a sole source solicitation for Centralized Access for Data Exchange (CAFDEX) Management Direct Support Services to support the ANG A4's Flying Hour Program and Weapon Sustainment Support mission. The Government intends to execute the action in accordance with FAR 8 ordering procedures. The Air National Guard has been leveraging this platform for an extended period of time  and intends to continue to do so for a limited period while the Air Force owned software platform is developed. Without the immediate availability of this off-the-shelf capability, the ANG would not be able to meet the reporting suspense set by HAF, which directly impacts the ANG’s Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) process. If HAF timelines and suspense’s are not met, flying hours and dollars are at risk for reduction and reallocation to other commands.
