About this opportunity
AFLCMC/EZ at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base issued a sole-source justification notice under FAR Part 6 on July 21, 2026, for a standalone bridge contract in cybersecurity and systems engineering support awarded to KBR Wyle Services, LLC, with responses due by August 5, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EST. Although this is a non-competitive procurement, the notice invites all responsible sources to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations demonstrating clear and convincing evidence of their ability to provide the required supplies and services; the Government retains sole discretion to compete the action based on responses received.
The acquisition covers a 12- to 18-month period valued under $10 million and will be structured as a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee Level-of-Effort award. Services include cybersecurity research, analysis, and assessments to identify, mitigate, and eliminate system vulnerabilities in USAF systems and software, as well as aeronautical systems research and development for Mark XIIB and Advanced Friendly IFF capabilities, encompassing AIMS box and platform-level certification testing and system-level changes for Department of Defense and Foreign Military Sales requirements. The Air Force determined that KBR Mission Technology Solutions is the only provider capable of executing both cybersecurity and IFF assessment and certification within the compressed timeframe, and that a bridge contract is imperative to prevent catastrophic disruption to ongoing support. Col(S) Paul W. Tinker serves as Ombudsman; routine matters should be directed to the contracting officer.

Col(S) Paul W. Tinker has been appointed as Ombudsman to hear concerns from offerors, or potential offerors, during the proposal development. The purpose of the Ombudsman is to communicate contractor concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate government personnel. Existence of the Ombudsman does not diminish the authority of the program director or the contracting officer.

When requested, the Ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. Should you desire to contact the Ombudsman, Col(S) Paul W. Tinker can be reached at e-mail: asca@us.af.mil.
