Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source

The Air Force Sustainment Center, operating under the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command, issued a Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source on December 22, 2025. This special notice announces a planned sole source contract award for the renewal of OrbExpress software licenses. The procurement is being conducted by the PZIMB office at AFSC and is explicitly noted as not being a Request for Quote. The contract is intended for an urgent renewal of already-held licenses, indicating this is a continuation of existing software subscriptions rather than a new acquisition. The sole source award to Saveagain.com dba IT Kickstart LLC (CAGE Code 8SJG7) reflects a determination that only this vendor can fulfill the requirement.

The purpose of this special notice is to announce the intent to award a sole source contract for the renewal of seven OrbExpress licenses without competitive bidding. The due date for any submissions or comments regarding this procurement is January 6, 2026, providing a two-week window following the posting date. This notice does not invite competitive proposals, as the government has determined that the specified vendor is uniquely suited to provide the required software renewal services. The sole source justification is based on the continuity of existing license agreements, which typically occurs when organizations maintain standardized software tools across their operations. Only the designated vendor, Saveagain.com dba IT Kickstart LLC, is eligible to be awarded this contract, as the procurement is structured exclusively for this supplier.
