About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command's 355th Contracting Squadron has published a Special Notice announcing their intent to issue a sole source procurement for specialized communication equipment. The procurement includes four Getac B360 Custom GA Configuration Rugged Laptops with specific technical specifications and four GoSilent Cube Secure Network Devices with maintenance and VPN services. This acquisition is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside and is intended for the 79th Rescue Squadron's operational requirements. The notice was posted on September 18, 2025, with responses due by September 21, 2025. The contracting activity has identified Weapons Alliance Group (WAG) as the sole distributor capable of providing these uniquely engineered systems.
The purpose of this procurement is to enable secure, reliable communications for the 79th Rescue Squadron in austere environments, ensuring interoperability with existing systems and the ability to withstand extreme conditions. The equipment is critical for closing an urgent capability gap and maintaining standardization across the unit's secure communications assets, specifically designed for forward-edge secure communications combining rugged hardware, portable encryption, and mission-ready configuration. Interested parties must respond by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 21, 2025, to Contracting Specialist Trong Hoang via email or phone. While the government will review responses to determine if competitive procurement is warranted, they reserve the right to proceed with the sole source approach. The procurement falls under the Total Small Business set-aside category, though the government will not reimburse costs for providing capability information. The single source justification is based on comprehensive market research indicating that only one source can reasonably meet the squadron's urgent operational requirements within the critical timeframe.
