About this opportunity
The United States Air Forces in Europe - Air Forces Africa announced on July 14, 2026, its intent to sole source a Mind Gym system to Lumena Inc., with a comment period closing July 17, 2026; the procurement qualifies as SBIR Phase III work, which exempts it from competitive requirements under the Small Business Administration SBIR/STTR Policy Directive. Spangdahlem Air Base, through the 52d Contracting Squadron, is acquiring the Mind Gym system including delivery, installation, and specialized training services. Lumena Inc. holds exclusive intellectual property rights and is the sole distributor of the technology, which originated from a prior SBIR award. The sole-source justification rests on Section 4(c)(3) of the SBA Directive, which establishes that prior Phase I and Phase II competition satisfies all federal competition requirements under the Competition in Contracting Act. Section 4(c)(7)(ii) of the Directive further mandates that agencies award non-competitive contracts to the original awardee for Phase III work when practicable. SSgt Alexis Poore, Contracting Officer, approved the determination on July 14, 2026, under DAF Approval Authorities Matrix PM 26-C-11 Matrix Item 51. NAICS 541715; PSC AC12.
