About this opportunity
The Department of the Army has issued a Special Notice for a sole source procurement of VxWorks software renewal for the Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Aviation and Missile Center at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. The notice indicates a direct procurement with Wildflower International, LTD as the sole source provider for this specialized software. The procurement involves a VxWorks Real Time Operating System with specific multi-core processing and core partitioning capabilities critical for the Systems Readiness (SRD) Directorate. Classified under NAICS code 513210 for Software Publishers, this special notice follows Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines for sole source acquisitions. The procurement is specifically designed to ensure precise software matching for airworthiness analysis and program compatibility.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to acquire a single VxWorks 653 version 3.0.1.1 Multi-Core Edition license with a Subscription Node Locked configuration. While primarily a sole source procurement, the notice allows other potentially capable sources to submit capability statements within three days of publication, though it is not a competitive solicitation. Eligible contractors interested in responding must provide sufficient documentation establishing their capability to fulfill the requirement, with the understanding that phone calls will not be accepted. The government emphasizes that this procurement is critical for maintaining accurate analysis in multi-core processing and air-worthiness programs, where using a mismatched operating system could render analysis results unusable. The notice explicitly states that no solicitation documents exist at this time, and the government retains sole discretion in determining the non-competitive nature of the contract. Contractors should carefully review the requirements and be prepared to demonstrate their technical capabilities if they wish to be considered.
