About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Test Center is issuing a sole source pre-solicitation notice for software upgrade and maintenance services for Tactical Data Link Studios (TDLS) and WinIDM. The contract will be awarded to Aeronix, Inc., located in Melbourne, Florida, under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), which permits sole-source acquisitions when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. Vendors interested in demonstrating alternative capability must submit a complete technical package by May 2, 2026, providing clear and convincing evidence of their ability to meet the government's requirements, along with current representations and certifications from SAM.gov and any special commercial contract requirements. The Air Force has determined that Aeronix's proprietary software is the only solution capable of integrating with existing legacy systems without extensive modifications, and no authorized resellers or alternative commercial products are available. This pre-solicitation notice is not a formal solicitation or commitment to award; rather, it serves to notify industry of the Air Force's intent and to identify potentially qualified alternative sources and their business classifications.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and represents a continuation of the Air Force's relationship with Aeronix, Inc., the incumbent contractor under previous contract FA930220P0007. The contract is valued under $10 million and will be awarded as a Firm-Fixed Price contract. The specific requirements include the purchase of software upgrade P/N AE404226-001 for Tactical Data Links Studio (TDLS), TDLS maintenance (P/N AE404226-MAIN), and WinIDM maintenance (P/N AE400378-MAIN), each at a quantity of one. The applicable NAICS code is 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) with a size standard of $34.0 million, and the PSC category is 7A21 (IT and Telecom - Business Application Software, Perpetual License Software). The Air Force will determine fair and reasonable pricing in accordance with applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation provisions governing sole-source acquisitions.
