About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command announced on May 7, 2026, its intent to award a sole-source contract to Carahsoft Technology Corp. for VMware Voice Software and License Renewal, with a response deadline of 8:00 AM CDT on May 8, 2026. This non-competitive award is justified under FAR 6.104-2(a) and FAR 12.102(a) based on a determination that only one source is available to meet the requirement. The Air Force cites a mandatory Department of the Air Force policy requiring all organizations to utilize the DISA VMware by Broadcom Blanket Purchase Agreement for all new and renewal Broadcom VMware software licenses, maintenance, and technical support. Market research conducted through Ability One, FPI UNICOR, and GSA Advantage yielded zero responses, confirming limited availability. The 81st Contracting Squadron at Keesler Air Force Base initiated this renewal to support Voice Systems Operation serving the NIPR system. Interested parties may submit quotes or capability statements to macey.behee@us.af.mil by the stated deadline. The Government reserves the right to compete or not compete the contract based on responses received, a determination solely within its discretion.
