About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command, specifically the 5th Contracting Squadron at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota, has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source a contract for Virtual Reality (VR) computers. The notice pertains to a firm fixed price supply contract with Rave Computer Association for specific VR computer systems and software. The procurement is focused on the RAVE computer model MVI25-T-5080-1, which will be used for maintenance training programs, particularly for B-52 maintenance training tasks. The contract will be processed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures as authorized by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b). The contract has been assigned Product Service Code (PSC) 7E20 for IT and Telecom End User equipment and NAICS code 334118 for Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors about the Air Force's intent to award a sole source contract to Rave Computer Association. While the notice is informational and not a competitive solicitation, interested parties are invited to submit written information demonstrating their ability to meet the specific requirements by 10:00 am CDT on May 19, 2025. The procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, and the government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the requirement based on responses received. The specific computer systems are critical for maintaining a consistent Virtual Reality training environment as mandated by Air Education and Training Command (AETC). Future procurement efforts may seek to expand vendor options by obtaining updated system requirements from AETC. Contractors interested in participating must carefully review the specific technical requirements, particularly the need for three identical computer systems that can support the specialized VR training software for B-52 maintenance tasks.
