About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Parsons Corporation for two Javelin+ Mobile Biometric Collection Kits. This non-competitive procurement is being implemented under FAR 13.106-1(b), with the government determining that only one source can meet their specific requirement. The contract opportunity is classified as an 8(a) Sole Source acquisition in the Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing NAICS category. The notice was posted on May 15, 2025, with a response deadline of May 22, 2025, at 11:00 AM CST. The procurement is specifically for a biometric system that is deemed 100% compatible with existing law enforcement infrastructure.
Interested contractors can submit capability statements or quotes via email to two specified Air Force contacts: taylor.williams.26@us.af.mil and kimberley.alvarez.1@us.af.mil. While the notice emphasizes this is a non-competitive award, the government will consider any quotes received by the specified deadline. The purpose of the acquisition is to obtain a specialized biometric collection kit that integrates seamlessly with current systems, with the government noting that replacing existing infrastructure would cost approximately $39 million. Eligibility appears limited, as the sole source justification suggests Parsons Corporation is the only vendor meeting the technical requirements. The Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) has agreed to fund future annual license fees, and the contracting officer has determined that under specific federal acquisition regulations, only a single source is reasonably available. The anticipated contract award date is May 13, 2025, with AFOSI Det 407 and the 81st Contracting Squadron committed to monitoring the market for potential alternative products.
