About this opportunity
The Air Force Installation Contracting Agency, acting through the 772d Enterprise Sourcing Squadron, issued a Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source to Creativebug Holdings, LLC for a subscription-based crafting platform, with responses due by September 16, 2026 at 12:00 PM CST. The award is authorized under FAR 13.106-1(b)(2) (only one source reasonably available) and rests on the finding that Creativebug is the exclusive creator, publisher, copyright holder, and distributor of the proprietary content required. Market research conducted via a Sources Sought Notice (August 7–17, 2026) on SAM.gov confirmed no alternative sources can provide equivalent licensed access; two vendors responded, but only Creativebug met requirements.
The contract is a Firm-Fixed-Price award for a flat-fee subscription to Creativebug Crafting Solutions, providing 24/7 unlimited simultaneous user access to over 2,000 instructional videos with public performance rights. The base period runs September 30, 2026 through September 29, 2027 at $81,500, with two optional one-year renewal periods at $81,500 each, for a total estimated value of $244,500. Performance supports the Department of the Air Force Library Program.
Despite the sole-source designation, all responsible sources may submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations by the deadline. Submissions must include company points of contact, business size classification, socioeconomic status designations, CAGE Code, and UEI, limited to 10 pages in Microsoft Word or PDF format. Alternate products meeting specified characteristics are encouraged and must demonstrate equivalency. Submit responses to Contracting Specialist Homer Rios and Contracting Officer Gustavo Guadron.
