About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command's 82d Contracting Squadron at Sheppard AFB, Texas has issued a notice of intent to award a sole source contract to AB-TOOLS GMBH located in Munich, Germany. The contract is for Flight Control Licenses, specifically for FS-Flight Control software used in Immersive Training Devices (ITDs) for pilot training programs. This procurement falls under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers) with a small business size standard of $47 million. The agency intends to proceed with this sole source acquisition under the statutory authority of 10 USC 2304(c)(1), supported by an approved Single Source Justification. The anticipated award date is approximately August 30, 2025, structured as a firm-fixed price purchase order.
The primary objective of this notice is to inform potential contractors of the government's intent to proceed with sole source procurement while providing an opportunity for market feedback to determine if future competitive procurements would be beneficial. Interested parties must submit written responses by August 18, 2025, via email, demonstrating their capability to provide similar flight control software services at no cost or obligation to the government. The notice explicitly states this is not a solicitation or request for proposals, and no solicitation package will be issued. The FS-Flight Control software enables flight instructors to manipulate training scenarios in real-time, introducing emergency situations and modifying flight parameters to enhance pilot training efficiency. Market research indicated that FS-Flight Control is the most suitable solution for their ITD environment, with alternative options lacking necessary features or integration capabilities with existing systems.
