About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center has awarded a sole-source follow-on contract to Credence Management Solutions, LLC for development and maintenance of the U-2 Airframe Forecasting Dashboard on a Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) basis, with an estimated value of $3.88 million.
The justification cites GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(iii), which permits sole-source awards when an order represents a logical follow-on to a previously competitively awarded FSS order. The baseline order (FA852825FB005) was awarded competitively to Credence on 30 September 2025. The follow-on requirement involves developing and maintaining integrated cloud-based application modules that ingest, process, and analyze data from multiple Government and contractor sources—including four key Air Force logistics systems (ALMSS, IMDS, ILS-S, BLADE)—to provide forecasting, analytics, visualization, and decision-support capabilities across supply, demand, maintenance, cost, and fleet readiness domains.
The justification identifies four key factors supporting the sole-source award: Credence's unique and proprietary knowledge of complex, often undocumented data structures and backend logic developed over 12 months that cannot be easily transferred; substantial cost duplication estimated to exceed $2.5 million if a new contractor were required to replicate the incumbent's knowledge gathering and integration work; unacceptable schedule delay, as a new vendor would require 6 to 9 months for transition and re-establishment of secure cloud access, creating a service gap before the current order expires on 29 September 2026; and direct degradation of U-2 program mission readiness. Contracting officer is Capt Tanner Reed, AFLCMC/WIKA.
