About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base has issued a Special Notice for a sole-source Firm-Fixed Price contract with S&P Global Market Intelligence. The contract involves procuring four licenses of S&P Capital IQ to support Discrete Supplier Reviews (DSRs). The Air Force has determined this is a non-competitive procurement under FAR 6.302-1 and FAR 13.106-1(b), based on previous market research. The notice indicates that S&P Global Market Intelligence will be the direct recipient of the contract. This procurement falls under the Software Publishers NAICS category and was posted on January 6, 2025, with a response deadline of January 13, 2025.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to secure specialized market intelligence software licenses for the Air Force's operational needs. While the contract is intended to be awarded directly to S&P Global Market Intelligence, the notice allows other interested sources to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations within five days of publication. Potential contractors must provide clear and convincing evidence of their ability to deliver the required supplies or services. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the action based on received responses. To support transparency and address potential contractor concerns, Colonel Paul W. Tinker has been appointed as an Ombudsman, who can be contacted at asca@us.af.mil. The Ombudsman's role is to communicate contractor concerns to appropriate government personnel while maintaining confidentiality. However, the Ombudsman does not participate in solicitation preparation, proposal evaluation, or source selection processes.
