About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force has awarded a sole-source modification to Task Order FA873022F8506 to Peraton, Inc., extending the period of performance and increasing the ceiling price by $8,909,600 on a Time and Materials basis for 12 months, effective October 1, 2026.
The sole-source justification is authorized under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) based on unacceptable delays that would result from any contract transition prior to June 2028 in fulfilling Air Force nuclear modernization requirements. Market research across three recent contract recompetes confirmed that only the incumbent contractor possesses the necessary continuity and domain expertise to support legacy applications N3 and Early Plan Design (EPD) while developing their replacements: Strategic Nuclear Aimpoint Planning System (SNAPS) and EPD v2 (EPD2). The critical domain knowledge requirement is heightened by legacy applications' need for a minimum of three months side-by-side testing following Initial Operational Capability before sunsetting.
The $8,909,600 extension funds two primary efforts: approximately $4 million for maintenance, sustainment, and on-site support activities including Contractor Development Test and Evaluation (CDT&E), and approximately $4.6 million to complete SNAPS and EPD2 development and accommodate integration with the Strategic Mission Planning and Execution System (SMPES) environment. The work supports USSTRATCOM's Strategic Nuclear Targeting Section (J5311) and War Plan Analysis Branch (J591). Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) contracting activity AFNWC/PZU is executing the modification. The Government intends to competitively award a follow-on contract for the NIDS successor, Strategic Targeting Aimpoint Construction Services (STACS), and possesses all intellectual property rights necessary to facilitate future competition.
