About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center awarded contract FA233026CB008 to VSE TEK on a sole-source basis for software development services supporting weather data systems modernization, on June 25, 2026.
The justification invokes 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) for unusual and compelling urgency. The 14th Weather Squadron experienced an 80 percent decrease in mission capability for climatology data systems critical to warfighting functions. Market research determined that VSE TEK is the sole source capable of meeting the requirements within the compressed timeline; introducing an alternative contractor would cause 6–12 month delays, unacceptable costs, and mission failure.
Services include expert-level systems integration, cybersecurity compliance, software development, and policy adherence support. Deliverables encompass technical modifications and updates to weather data software, including changes to data ingest architecture, processing pipelines, API structures, data formats, metadata and data dictionaries, and data variables and definitions or units of measure. The contract is structured as Firm-Fixed-Price with a 12-month performance period and funded by 3400 and 3600 appropriations. The program office commits to a transition strategy to an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity vehicle beyond the current period to enable future competition and maximize government value.
NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services); PSC DA01 (IT and Telecom—Business Application/Application Development Support Services).
