About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force's Air Education and Training Command, specifically the 502d Contracting Squadron, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to pursue a sole-source procurement from Advanced Simulation Technology inc. (ASTi) for the Simulated Environment for Realistic Air Traffic Control (SERA) software. The notice is published under Title 10, U.S.C. Section 2304(c)(1), which allows for a non-competitive acquisition when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The procurement is classified as a small business set-aside under NAICS code 513210 and PSC Code 7A21, with ASTi located at 500A Huntmar Park Drive in Herndon, Virginia. The contract will cover SERA Software and IA Maintenance Renewal for a one-year period from January 8, 2025, through January 7, 2026.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the market of the government's intent to award a sole-source contract and provide an opportunity for other potential contractors to challenge ASTi's exclusive status. Interested parties who believe they can provide equivalent SERA services must submit clear and convincing evidence to the 502d Contracting Office via email by 10:00 AM CDT on January 3, 2025. The government retains full discretion to determine whether to compete the requirement based on any responses received. Importantly, any costs associated with preparing and submitting a response are entirely the responsibility of the respondent and will not be reimbursed by the government. The anticipated contract award date is January 7, 2025, and the notice emphasizes that this publication is for informational purposes only and not a solicitation for competitive proposals. Eligible contractors should carefully review the notice's requirements and be prepared to provide substantial documentation if they wish to challenge the sole-source determination.
