About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Academy issued a notice of intent to sole-source 200 hours of remote IT support and custom software upgrades for the One-Meter Telescope to Lunt Solar Systems, with capability statements due July 27, 2026 at 10:00 AM MDT. The USAFA Department of Physics and Meteorology justifies the sole-source award on the proprietary nature of the telescope hardware and control architecture; Lunt Solar Systems is the sole authorized US distributor for the original equipment manufacturer, Astro Systeme Austria, and possesses exclusive access to the proprietary source code required for integration and reprogramming. The required work includes specialized remote engineering labor to integrate a new main telescope control computer and perform custom software upgrades to the dome control motor and motion logic, tracking, pointing, and camera compatibility to enable low-earth orbit satellite tracking. The contract is firm-fixed-price and classified under NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and PSC DA01. Interested vendors must submit capability statements to Ron Wilson (ronald.wilson.26@us.af.mil) or Wanda Farr (wanda.farr@us.af.mil); concerns may be directed to ombudsman James Anderson at 719-333-2074 or james.anderson.72@us.af.mil.
