About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Headquarters District Washington, specifically the 316th Contracting Squadron at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source contract for Computerized Flight Software Subscription Services. This notice, posted on February 24, 2026, pertains to the procurement of flight planning and electronic charting software to support the 89th Airlift Wing's aircraft operations. The contracting officer has determined that Jeppesen Foreflight, Inc., located in Englewood, Colorado, is the only responsible source capable of meeting the government's requirements under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. The resulting contract will be a firm-fixed-price agreement utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with the NAICS classification of 518210 (Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, and Related Services).
The purpose of this sole-source procurement is to obtain continuous subscription services for Jeppesen Foreflight Dispatch software and Foreflight Mobile electronic charting software for a five-year contract period from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2031. The justification for sole sourcing is based on Jeppesen's exclusive FMS data compatibility with the 89th Airlift Wing's aircraft, superior international data coverage, ISO-accredited data validation processes, and seamless end-to-end integration capabilities that no competing vendor can replicate. Interested parties wishing to challenge this sole-source determination must submit clear and convincing evidence by March 9, 2026, at 12 p.m. EST demonstrating their capability to fulfill the requirements and that competition would benefit the government. Participating contractors must be actively registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at https://www.sam.gov and should submit capability statements directly to the Contract Specialist. This special notice is not a solicitation or request for competitive proposals; rather, it serves as notification of the government's intent to award and an opportunity for objections before contract award.
