About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for a 6-month extension of a Learning Management System (LMS) Software as a Service contract with Blackboard Inc. to support the Joint Special Operations University (JSOU). The procurement covers a cloud-based learning platform serving 12,000 students annually, including Gov Learning Performance SaaS Plus for 2,001-5,000 full-time equivalents, staging add-on services, additional storage, helpdesk support, and chatbot services. The contract runs from September 1, 2025 through February 28, 2026, with an optional 6-month extension through August 31, 2026. The sole source justification is based on the university's ongoing transition to a Microsoft O365 self-sustaining learning platform, which will ultimately save $335,000 annually, and the determination that competing the requirement would incur substantial setup costs that would not be recovered through competition. Despite receiving 18 vendor responses to a market research RFI, the contracting office concluded that the incumbent vendor maintains inherent advantages, though they plan to pursue full and open competition for future requirements if the Microsoft O365 transition proves unsuccessful.
