The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center awarded contract FA229121CB007 to Borsight Inc. for $24,975,545 on August 14, 2026, providing continued operational support for Mobility Air Forces Tactical Data Link situational awareness systems.

The contract structure comprises a one-year base period with four one-year option periods, utilizing Firm-Fixed-Price, Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee, and Cost-Reimbursable contract types. Scope includes depot support, maintenance, technical refresh, training, and troubleshooting across various air platforms to enable real-time mission re-tasking, improved battlespace situational awareness through real-time mission change reception/transmission, threat environment monitoring, and close air support de-confliction.

The award was made under sole-source authority per 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). Air Force market research via RFI (issued May 28, 2025; closed July 3, 2025) determined no other source offered sufficient technical, cost, or schedule benefits to justify competitive acquisition. The justification cites mission-critical operational readiness, the incumbent's irreplaceable diagnostic expertise, insufficient technical data availability, and transition risks during the legacy system's final lifecycle phase before transition to the MAF NEXUS modernization program. The contracting activity is AFMC's Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Hanscom AFB, MA.
