TCMax Gold Software

The 355th Contracting Squadron of the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command has issued a Special Notice for a sole-source procurement action to acquire TCMax Gold Licenses with 12 months of Gold Support. The notice pertains to a software procurement from Soaring Software Solutions Inc, which is identified as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) with sole and exclusive distribution rights. This opportunity falls under the Software Publishers NAICS category and is classified as an IT and Telecom business application software service. The procurement is being conducted in accordance with FAR Part 13.106-1(b), which allows for solicitation from a single source. The Special Notice was posted on April 3, 2025, with a response deadline of April 7, 2025.

Contractors interested in challenging the sole-source procurement must submit an interest letter demonstrating their authorization to compete for the acquisition as an authorized distributor and service provider. Interested firms are required to provide rationale explaining why they should be considered, and must respond by Monday, April 7, 2025, at 7:00 AM PST to Contracting Officer Patricia Murray via email or phone. While responses will be evaluated, the government retains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with a competitive procurement. The notice explicitly states that no reimbursement will be provided for costs associated with submitting capability information. The primary objective is to procure specific software licenses and support services, with the government maintaining full discretion in the final procurement decision. Potential contractors should carefully review the requirements and be prepared to provide comprehensive evidence of their qualifications if they wish to challenge the current sole-source approach.
