About this opportunity
The 5th Contracting Squadron at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, under the Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command, has issued a Special Notice announcing their intent to award a sole source purchase order for Decision Lens software. The agency intends to procure this software through the DoD ESI Blanket Purchase Agreement, which serves as the mandatory source for DoD Approved Software in accordance with FAR Part 8. Decision Lens has obtained the necessary mandatory certifications, including a Certificate to Field for Decision Lens Version 1.x.x from AO Cloud and DevSecOps dated April 28, 2025, and a Non-Security Impact memo from 5 CS/SCXS. The anticipated award date is after September 10, 2025, and this notice explicitly states it is not a request for competitive proposals.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the marketplace of the government's intent to make a sole source award while providing an opportunity for other vendors to demonstrate their capabilities. Interested parties who believe they can provide software with equivalent capabilities, DoD approval and certifications, and security assurances as Decision Lens may submit written responses by September 10, 2025, at 11:00 AM CST. To be eligible for consideration, contractors must demonstrate their ability to provide software with the same capabilities as Decision Lens, possess the required DoD approvals and certifications, and offer equivalent security assurances. The government retains sole discretion to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on the responses received, and any information submitted will be used exclusively to evaluate whether competition is warranted. Contractors seeking additional information may contact SSgt Tyler Buckley at 701-723-2262 or tyler.buckley.5@us.af.mil.
