About this opportunity
The Defense Information Systems Agency, through its Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO-PAC), intends to negotiate a sole source contract with incumbent Unique Communications Solutions for CAIRS software access and continuous contracted maintenance support, with responses due November 9, 2026. The Set Aside line designates Total Small Business. The work keeps Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station Pacific (NCTAMS PAC) subordinate sites' Configuration Accounting Information Retrieval System (CAIRS) software packages current to meet JITC and IA security requirements in support of the NCTAMS PAC regional BCO mission. The new contract carries one base year with four option periods, and the current contract is in its fifth and final year.
The consolidated contract supports Naval Computer and Telecommunications Station Far East (NCTS FE), including Diego Garcia, NCTS Guam, NCTS San Diego, and NCTS Detachment Puget Sound. Option Year One adds NCTAMS PAC in Wahiawa, Hawaii, whose infrastructure is being installed and accredited and is not projected to need services or support until Q3/Q4 2027.
Unique Communications Solutions is the sole OEM provider of CAIRS, trademarked through that firm only, and the only source capable of providing all necessary services for the NCTAMS PAC area of responsibility. Software Upgrade Kits are specific to the software they support. A sole source Justification & Approval is being coordinated and will be posted on SAM.gov upon approval under FAR 6.301.
