About this opportunity
The 181st Intelligence Wing, Indiana Air National Guard has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source contract to Advantor Systems Corporation for the purchase and installation of Advantor 81TB VSM Video Nodes. The procurement is being conducted under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) authority, which allows for single source purchases when only one supplier can provide the required supplies or services at the necessary quality level due to their unique or specialized nature. The agency has determined that the required video storage system upgrade components are highly specialized and that Advantor is the only capable provider. This notice serves as a formal announcement of the government's intent to proceed with a non-competitive award while providing an opportunity for other potential contractors to demonstrate their capabilities. The procurement falls under the Department of the Army National Guard and is classified under NAICS code 334290 for Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing.
The primary objective of this procurement is to upgrade the current Video Management System (VMS) storage capabilities for the 181st Intelligence Wing through the installation of specialized video nodes. Interested contractors must submit capability statements by August 21, 2025, at 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time via email to jacob.johnson.46@us.af.mil, with all attachments totaling less than 10 MB. To be considered as a viable alternative to the sole source award, contractors must demonstrate they can provide equivalent supplies and services that meet the specialized requirements and quality standards needed for this VMS upgrade. The government emphasizes that responses consisting only of questions or requests for additional information will not be considered valid submissions. If no responsible and responsive offers are received by the deadline, the government will proceed with the sole source contract award to Advantor Systems Corporation, as the existing system infrastructure requires compatibility with current Advantor components to maintain mission continuity.
