About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Carahsoft Technology Corporation for a Qualtrics license renewal. The Air Force plans to issue a Firm-Fixed-Price order on approximately September 10, 2025, with a performance period from September 20, 2025, to September 19, 2026. This procurement involves Qualtrics Strategic Research software, which provides quantitative and qualitative market research capabilities with AI-powered analytics to help organizations discover market trends and customer behaviors. The contract includes FedRAMP Learning XM Base Program licenses, per-employee licensing tiers, and Experience Management consultant services specifically for the U.S. Department of Defense - Department of Air Force. The total contract value operates under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers) with a size standard of $47 million.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors of the Air Force's sole source procurement intent while providing an opportunity for other capable vendors to present alternatives. Although this is not a competitive solicitation, responsible sources may submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations for government consideration within three business days of the notice's issuance date of August 27, 2025. The government will evaluate any responses solely to determine whether to proceed with the planned sole source award or conduct a full and open competitive procurement, potentially including a small business set-aside. Contractors should note that the government will not provide compensation for information submitted in response to this announcement. If the procurement becomes competitive, the Air Force will issue a formal synopsis using FAR 12.603 procedures, and small business set-aside considerations may apply under FAR 52.219-14 limitations on subcontracting.
