About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Headquarters Air Force Academy has issued a Special Notice regarding a potential sole source contract with Microsoft Corporation for Unified Enterprise Support Services. The notice, published on February 19, 2025, indicates the Air Force Academy's intent to award a commercial contract directly to Microsoft using simplified procedures under FAR part 13. The contract authorization is based on 10 USC 2304(c)(1), which allows for a non-competitive award when only one responsible source can fulfill the requirement. Specifically, the contract will cover designated engineering and proactive services under Microsoft's Unified Enterprise Support Services, which the government asserts can only be performed by Microsoft or its affiliates. The notice falls under NAICS category 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) with a size standard of $34 million.
Contractors interested in challenging the sole source determination have a narrow window to submit capability statements demonstrating how competition could benefit the government. Written responses must be received by 2:00 pm MST on February 21, 2025, and should be submitted directly to the contracting officer via email. The notice explicitly states that oral communications are not acceptable, and no solicitation will be posted at this time. Potential respondents must provide clear evidence of their ability to meet the contract requirements and provide comparable services to those proposed by Microsoft. While the notice provides an opportunity for alternative contractors to present their capabilities, the government's intent appears to strongly favor a direct award to Microsoft. An ombudsman contact is included to help resolve any concerns from potential contractors. Interested parties should carefully review the full notice and prepare detailed, compelling capability statements if they wish to challenge the sole source determination.
