Intent to Sole Source - Key Management Facility (KMF) and Network Monitoring Management (NMC) Server Relocation

The Department of the Air Force, specifically the 355th Contracting Squadron at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, has issued a Special Notice announcing an intent to conduct a sole-source procurement for the relocation of Key Management Facility (KMF) and Network Monitoring Management (NMC) server racks. The procurement involves moving specialized IT equipment from building 1540 to building 402 within the base. Motorola is identified as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and the intended sole-source provider for this service. The procurement will be conducted under NAICS code 541519 for Other Computer Related Services, and follows Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13.106-1(b) guidelines for solicitation from a single source. The notice is not a competitive solicitation but offers an opportunity for other firms to challenge the sole-source determination.

Contractors interested in challenging the sole-source action must submit a detailed interest letter by May 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST to Jonathan Turk via email or phone. The letter must demonstrate the firm's technical expertise, certifications, and authorization to provide services for the specified equipment and associated software. Interested parties must provide a compelling rationale explaining why they should be considered as an alternative service provider. Motorola-certified technicians/field engineers are required to perform the relocation and reinstallation work. While responses will be evaluated, the government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the procurement. The 355th Contracting Office will not reimburse any costs associated with submitting capability information, and the ultimate decision to maintain the sole-source procurement remains at the government's discretion.
