About this opportunity
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Joint Base San Antonio issued a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract to Enghouse Networks on March 30, 2026. This special notice announces the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command's intention to award a firm-fixed-price sole-source contract for proprietary software licenses and associated support services. The contracting officer, Philip J. Carder, has justified the sole-source procurement based on Enghouse Networks being the exclusive developer, owner, and manufacturer of the required software. The government's system architecture is specifically designed around this proprietary product, and no interoperable alternatives are available in the market. Enghouse Networks does not authorize resellers for the scope of work required by this contract.
Although this notice of intent precludes competitive bidding, the Air Force invites all responsible sources to submit capability statements demonstrating their ability to meet the full requirement by the deadline of 12:00 CST on April 14, 2026. The contract encompasses three Contract Line Item Numbers covering the EngHouse Control Switch, EngHouse BorderNet 4000, and annual software support and warranties. Interested contractors should direct their submissions to contracting officer Philip J. Carder at philip.carder.2@us.af.mil and must provide sufficient technical detail to establish their capability to satisfy all contractual obligations. This procurement action is authorized under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 6.103-1 provisions for sole-source acquisitions. The contract falls under NAICS code 51 (Information) and PSC code 7A21 (IT and Telecom - Business Application Software with Perpetual License).
