Notice of Intent to Sole Source

The Defense Information Systems Agency requires renewal of an Airbus Space and Defense ECTOCRYP Black warranty for hardware previously purchased from Airbus U.S. Space and Defense, Inc. The warranty renewal is required by DISA's Operations Center Endpoint Services and Customer Support. Interested parties must submit notice of their interest by February 1, 2024 to Kris Onstott and Jena Badgett. A sole source award is contemplated using commercial item procedures pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) given that only Airbus can provide proprietary support for the specific hardware.

There is no set-aside designation for this procurement. Airbus U.S. Space and Defense, Inc. is identified as the incumbent and sole proprietary original equipment manufacturer that can meet the agency's requirements. The justification and approval document indicates the agency will procure annual hardware renewal support and maintenance from April 2021 through March 2026. However, the notice does not provide any estimated dollar values or specific quantities associated with the potential sole source award.
