About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Test Center (Air Force Test Center) at Holloman AFB, New Mexico, has issued a Special Notice announcing their intent to award a sole source firm-fixed price purchase order to Spirent Federal Systems. The notice pertains to software and firmware maintenance updates for the 746th Test Squadron's GPS simulation equipment. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 334511 with a size standard of 1,350 employees. Market research has determined that Spirent is the only vendor capable of meeting the specific technical requirements for these simulator systems. The government has identified this as a potential sole source procurement, but remains open to reviewing alternative capabilities from other contractors.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to secure continuous software and firmware maintenance updates for sophisticated GPS simulation equipment used by the 746th Test Squadron. Contractors interested in challenging the sole source determination must submit capability statements, bids, proposals, or quotations by December 20, 2024, at 1:00 PM MDT to Contract Specialist Nathan Jaye. The contract covers a base year from January 1 to December 31, 2025, with options for two additional years through 2027. Eligible contractors must have personnel with active Secret security clearances and ability to comply with strict security protocols for base access. The maintenance requirements include providing firmware/software updates, 24/7 technical support website access, and hardware/software maintenance and repair parts for specific Spirent GPS simulator systems. The estimated cost for comparable alternatives would exceed $11M, and switching vendors could potentially delay mission schedules by 1-2 years.
