About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Sam Houston has awarded contract N66001-24-A-0056 on June 30, 2026, for Red Hat software renewal to an unnamed vendor on a limited-source basis, serving the U.S. Army Recruiting Command at Fort Knox, Kentucky.
The justification cites FAR 16.507-7, restricting procurement to items peculiar to one manufacturer. USAREC's stated rationale centers on a $5 million investment in Red Hat software since 2020 supporting over 500 servers and 5,000 local customers at the Fort Knox data center, establishing that no viable alternatives exist to provide equivalent capabilities. Market research via RFQ #556891 issued February 11, 2026, received 12 responses from seven large and five small businesses but yielded no equivalent alternatives on the mandatory Digital Marketplace vehicle.
The procurement spans seven line items totaling 176 units: Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (17 units at standard 64-core), Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Virtual Datacenters with Satellite Premium (30 units), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Extended Life Cycle Support (30 units), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server with Satellite Premium (77 units), and Red Hat OpenShift Platform variants (14 and 3 units). Period of performance runs July 8, 2026, through July 7, 2027. The acquisition was procured through the mandatory Digital Marketplace using the Defense Enterprise Software Initiative Blanket Purchase Agreement vehicle and ITES-SW2 contract suite, per AFARS 5139 requirements. Fair and reasonable cost determination relies on price analysis under FAR 15.403-1(e) and (f).
