The U.S. Air Force Academy has issued a Notice of Intent to sole source a commercial contract with The CBORD Group, LLC for their Fusion Software Subscription, specifically their proprietary Menu Management System (MMS) cloud-based software. This Special Notice, posted on November 26, 2025, represents the Air Force Academy's intention to award a five-year firm-fixed-price contract valued at $18 million for annual software license renewals. The contract will support the academy's foodservice operations, which currently serve approximately 3.5 million meals annually. The sole source justification is based on CBORD being the only responsible source available, with no authorized distributors and no availability through GSA Federal Supply Schedule. The contracting office for this opportunity is the 10th Contracting Squadron located at the USAF Academy in Colorado.

The primary objective of this Notice of Intent is to allow interested contractors an opportunity to submit capability statements demonstrating how competition would be advantageous to the government before the sole source award is finalized. The critical deadline for interested contractors to submit responses is 10:00 a.m. MDT on November 28, 2025, with responses directed to Ronald Wilson. To be eligible to participate, contractors must be currently registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). The software contract will run from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2030, covering essential functionalities including menu planning, subsistence quantity projection, DFAS payment order interfacing, and inventory management capabilities. The anticipated contract award date is January 1, 2026, allowing seamless continuity of the academy's foodservice operations.
