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 the sole source procurement of Unicom System Architect software maintenance renewal. This is a firm-fixed-price contract for annual license renewal that will be awarded to Unicom Systems, Inc. under simplified acquisition procedures for commercial products in accordance with FAR subpart 13.5. The contract structure includes a one-year base term from September 29, 2025 to September 28, 2026, with four additional option years extending through September 28, 2030. The procurement covers various System Architect software maintenance licenses including client floating and authorized user maintenance, DoDAF add-on licenses, and XT Read/Write floating user maintenance. This action is being pursued as a sole source acquisition because Unicom Systems is identified as the exclusive distributor of the required software.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to inform the market of the government's intent to proceed with sole source procurement while providing an opportunity for other qualified vendors to demonstrate their capabilities. Interested contractors must submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations with clear and convincing evidence of their ability to provide the required services by August 26, 2025 at 2:00 PM EST. While this is not a competitive solicitation, all responsible sources are eligible to respond and will be considered by the agency. The government's justification emphasizes that switching to alternative platforms would require over $2 million in costs and more than two years of implementation time, potentially jeopardizing 15 years of existing data. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete this requirement based on market responses received, and has appointed an Ombudsman to address contractor concerns during the process.

Col(S) Paul W. Tinker has been appointed as Ombudsman to hear concerns from offerors, or potential offerors, during the proposal development. The purpose of the Ombudsman is to communicate contractor concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate government personnel. Existence of the Ombudsman does not diminish the authority of the program director or the contracting officer. Accordingly, the Ombudsman does not participate in the preparation of solicitations, the evaluation of proposals or the source selection process and, therefore, for routine matters on individual solicitations, please contact the buyer at the telephone number listed herein. When requested, the Ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. Should you desire to contact the Ombudsman, Col(S) Paul W. Tinker can be reached at e-mail: asca@us.af.mil.
