About this opportunity
The Air Force Reserve Command's 911th Airlift Wing intends to sole-source a contract with RS Means Company LLC for RS Means Facilities Maintenance and Repair data subscription, with a response deadline of July 27, 2026. The procurement is justified under FAR authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) based on the determination that RS Means data is available from only one responsible source and no alternative supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
The 911th Airlift Wing's Civil Engineer Squadron requires three simultaneous cloud-based accounts to develop and validate construction cost estimates for military construction and repair projects. The required software must be based on Construction Specifications Institute Masterformat, include Pittsburgh-area localized estimating data, provide 24-hour English-language helpdesk support, and operate on government networks while maintaining compliance with PCI and PII requirements. The Gordian Group, Inc., owner of RSMeans Data Online, holds proprietary rights to the underlying database and cloud platform and does not use resellers or third-party distributors. The contract type is Firm Fixed-Price with a base year running September 6, 2026, through September 5, 2027, and four optional renewal years through September 5, 2031.
Market research conducted June through July 2026 included publication of a Sources Sought Synopsis on SAM.gov July 16, 2026. Only one response was received, which did not propose a technically equivalent alternative. This notice is published for informational purposes only; however, quotations received by July 27, 2026, will be considered. The Government retains sole discretion to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received. Direct questions to Ryan Scott at ryan.scott.34@us.af.mil.
