About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force's 772d Enterprise Sourcing Squadron announced a sole-source award intent to Overdrive Inc. under FAR 13.106-1(b)(2) (only one source reasonably available), with award scheduled for August 28, 2026. The Air Force Libraries require digital content—e-books, e-audiobooks, e-music, and movies—delivered through the Overdrive platform to supplement an existing $5 million Department of Defense Libraries collection. The base performance period runs September 30, 2026 through June 15, 2027, with two additional one-year option periods extending through June 15, 2029. Although designated sole-source, the 772d ESS will accept capability statements, proposals, or quotations from all responsible sources through August 28, 2026 at 12:00 PM CST. Responses must be limited to 10 pages, include CAGE Code and UEI, and address business size classification and socioeconomic status. Responses should be submitted to SSgt Christian Etner (christian.etner@us.af.mil) and Gustavo Guadron (gustavo.guadron@us.af.mil). The justification asserts that publishers license digital rights exclusively to specific platform architectures, preventing alternative vendors from integrating content without duplicating the entire platform. A sources-sought notice posted May 7, 2026 generated no competing responses. Technical requirements include TLS 1.3, HTTP Strict Transport Security, RSA 2048-bit certification, and authentication for active duty personnel, dependents, and retirees.
