About this opportunity
The 193d Special Operations Wing Contracting Office, operating under the Department of the Army National Guard, has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for software maintenance and updates on an existing NINJA TRX System manufactured by Black River Systems Company. This procurement is set aside for small businesses and operates under NAICS code 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing) and Product Service Code 6350 (Miscellaneous Alarm, Signal, And Security Detection Systems). The government intends to award a firm fixed price purchase order using sole source authority under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B). The system and associated software are proprietary to Black River Systems Company, which the government identifies as the sole authorized provider for system support and maintenance due to the existing equipment configuration.
The primary purpose of this special notice is to inform potential contractors of the government's intent to proceed with a sole source procurement while providing an opportunity for other capable sources to demonstrate their ability to meet the requirement. Interested contractors must submit capability statements by September 4, 2025, at 11:00 AM Eastern Standard Time via email to briana.bowman@us.af.mil in Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF format. These submissions must include technical data and cost information with sufficient detail and convincing evidence of capability to meet the requirement, as simple requests for documentation or questions will not be considered valid responses. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with competitive procurement based on received responses or continue with the planned sole source award. Importantly, funds are not currently available for this contract, and the government's obligation remains contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds.
