About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Mission and Installation Contracting Command - Yuma Proving Ground (MICC-YPG) has published a Notice of Sole Source Intent to award a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee contract to Cibola Information Systems, Inc. for specialized technical support services. This Special Notice was posted on April 2, 2026, and represents the agency's intention to pursue a non-competitive procurement rather than solicit bids from multiple contractors. The contracting office is located at U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground in Yuma, Arizona. The justification for sole source procurement centers on Cibola Information Systems' unique ownership of proprietary software, technical data, and specialized engineering expertise that is unavailable from other sources. Interested firms have until April 20, 2026, to respond to this notice if they believe they can provide equivalent capabilities.
The primary objective of this procurement is to secure highly specialized technical expertise to support the Army's critical test mission at Yuma Proving Ground, specifically in the development, maintenance, and expansion of Global Positioning System instrumentation and related tracking systems including IVTS, WindPack, and 6DVTS platforms. The contract is valued at $25.5 million and will run for five years from June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2031, classified under NAICS code 541330 (Engineering Services). Contractors wishing to challenge this sole source determination must demonstrate their firm's technical capability to meet the stated requirements by the April 20 deadline and conduct independent research on system specifications, as proprietary information protection prevents the government from disclosing detailed technical details. Contractors responding must show they possess comparable proprietary knowledge, technical expertise, and specialized engineering capabilities to support electronic warfare, ground combat, and ammunition systems testing programs. Only firms meeting these rigorous technical qualifications will be considered for potential competitive procurement consideration by the government.
