AI Contract Overview
The Department of Defense, through the AFTC/PZZG agency, has issued a combined presolicitation and notice of intent to sole source for the acquisition of an immediate software suite to upgrade current Antenna Pattern testing capabilities. The government intends to negotiate exclusively with NSI-MI for the procurement of the A4 Software Enterprise Suite. This decision is driven by the necessity to comply with DoD cybersecurity mandates requiring a migration from legacy Windows 7 systems to modern, vendor-supported platforms. Utilizing NSI-MI software allows the agency to maintain its existing proprietary hardware ecosystem at the Benefield Anechoic Facility, thereby avoiding the multimillion-dollar costs and significant operational downtime associated with a full hardware replacement and retraining. Interested parties may submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations for consideration, though the notice is not a formal request for competitive proposals. All communications regarding this requirement must include solicitation number FA930226Q0113. The deadline for submitting quotations is August 24, 2026, at 8 AM PDT. This acquisition falls under NAICS code 513210 for software publishers and is governed by specific FAR and RFO provisions regarding commercial products and services. No financial obligation is created by this notice, and work may only commence upon the receipt of a fully executed contract.

Full Description
Combined Presolicitation/Solicitation & Notice of Intent of Sole Source
This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products or commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) Subpart 12.2, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.
Description of Requirement
This requirement is for one (1) immediate software suite acquisition to systematically upgrade current Antenna Pattern testing capabilities.
Please see attached SF 1449 and Statement of Requirement for further details.
Contracting Agency: AFTC/PZZG
Solicitation Number: FA930226Q0113 ***Please include the solicitation number in all communications.
Quotation Deadline: 24 August 2026 at 8 AM PDT
NAICS: 513210 Software Publishers
PSC: 7A21
Defense Priorities and Allocation System (DPAS): N/A
The Department of War (DoW) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with NSI-MI for the procurement of A4 Software Enterprise Suite.
Notice of Intent to Sole Source
Statutory Authority: 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by RFO 6.103-1
Justification: This sole source is driven by strict DoD cybersecurity mandates forcing a migration from legacy Windows 7 systems running MI-3000 software to the modern, vendor-supported, and risk management framework-compliant NSI-MI A4 platform on Windows 10/11. Transitioning to a non-NSI-MI software would require abandoning the Benefield Anechoic Facility's (BAF) current proprietary NSI-MI hardware ecosystem—which relies on closed, proprietary communication protocols—and procuring an entirely new physical test capability. The entire current antenna pattern capability including the CPDACS (Configurable Positioning & Data Acquisition Control System) positioner, custom adapter boxes, and associated receivers is engineered and manufactured by NSI-MI. A full hardware replacement would cost millions of dollars and cause months of critical facility downtime with cascading delays to national defense acquisition programs, and necessitate expensive operator retraining.
Instructions to Interested Parties: This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
