Seymour Johnson AFB Klaxon System Upgrade and Maintenance

The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command seeks Klaxon system support and services for Seymour Johnson AFB, North Carolina, with proposals due August 14, 2026 at 9:00 AM EST (amended from August 11). The procurement carries a total small business set-aside.

Place of performance is Seymour Johnson AFB, NC. The scope involves procurement, installation, and maintenance of an upgraded IP-based Emergency Alert System (ConsortAlert) to replace the existing analog Alert III CrashNet system, with hardware, software, and lifecycle system integration services required. The contractor must use genuine OEM Forum Communications parts, provide free software patches and bug fixes within the same release, and deliver daily and weekly reports on test calls, aircraft alerts, and system health diagnostics. The system covers approximately 12 buildings across the installation, with primary equipment located in Building 3200 and initiator/control locations at the 4th Fighter Wing Command Post, 916th Command Post, and aircraft. The contractor must conduct an on-site infrastructure assessment to ensure seamless system cutover with zero unmitigated lapse in alert coverage, perform twice-yearly minimum system check-ups, and provide basic operational and administrative training to Command Post and Communications Squadron personnel upon installation completion. All contractor personnel require base identification and vehicle passes per Air Force installation access requirements and must comply with background check procedures.

The period of performance is one 12-month Base Year plus up to four one-year Option Periods, extending through August 31, 2031, with a potential six-month extension. The contract structure is firm fixed price. The action value is $80,000 for the Base Year. This procurement was justified as a single-source acquisition under brand name requirement authority, as the ConsortAlert system must integrate with 17 existing Forum Intelligent Line Modules currently at the installation, with all required equipment and replacement parts proprietary to Forum Communications. The NAICS code is 541519, Other Computer Related Services; PSC is R429. Evaluation employs a best value tradeoff approach, with price significantly more important than technical capability, though superior technical support may justify a price premium. Service Contract Act prevailing wage rates apply for Wayne County, North Carolina.
