About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source a contract to Shiny Box LLC for augmented reality (AR) training services. The opportunity, identified by Federal Contract Opportunity ID 45863b82b70b4785bc6be79260f37450, was posted on January 30, 2025, with a response deadline of February 6, 2025. The contract falls under the Custom Computer Programming Services NAICS category and involves the rental and operation of four VUZIX M4000 AR glasses with specialized software for training purposes. Shiny Box LLC is being considered as the sole source provider due to their proprietary software and exclusive ownership of a unique AR tele-mentoring platform designed for Arctic training events. The procurement is not set aside for any specific business category and will support operational training exercises for SOCNORTH.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to obtain AR technology and software solutions for supporting emergency medical personnel training, specifically for CBRNDE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive), medical, surgical, and critical care applications. Shiny Box LLC is deemed the only eligible contractor due to their specialized software that can communicate with various military medicine systems and monitor vital signs across different hardware platforms. The contract includes four AR glasses, three laptops for subject matter expert support, and proprietary software developed specifically for military medical training scenarios. Contractors interested in this opportunity should note the short response window and the highly specialized nature of the required technology. The company's partnership with the Department of Defense and their unique capability to develop AR systems that meet specific military training requirements make them the recommended sole source provider for this contract.
