About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command has issued a special notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract for FY25 355 OSS JRE Help Desk services. The 355th Contracting Squadron is seeking to procure Joint Range Extension (JRE) Data Link Gateway Help Desk Support specifically from SAIC. This procurement falls under NAICS code 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and PSC category DE01 (IT and Telecom - End User: Help Desk services). The notice was posted on August 19, 2025, with a response deadline of August 22, 2025. The contract is classified as a simplified acquisition with no set-aside designation.
The purpose of this sole source procurement is to obtain critical technical assistance and troubleshooting services for the JRE system, with SAIC identified as the only authorized provider capable of delivering the required proprietary software updates. Market research conducted by the 355th Wing confirmed that SAIC is the sole manufacturer and provider of these essential software updates, justifying the single source approach under FAR 13.1065(b)(1)(i). Contractors interested in providing these services must demonstrate their ability to deliver JRE help desk support and should contact the listed points of contact by the August 22, 2025 deadline. The contracting squadron emphasizes that only vendors capable of providing the specific proprietary software updates essential to JRE system functionality will be considered eligible. While this contract represents a sole source award, the agency indicates its ongoing commitment to creating more competitive opportunities in future acquisitions.
