ADVANCED TEST AND LOGISTICS ASSISTANCE SERVICES (ATLAS)

The ATLAS (Advanced Test and Logistics Assistance Services) contract is a Department of Defense sources-sought notice issued by the FA9101 AEDC Procurement Branch, with a focus on providing specialized logistics, procurement, and test support services primarily for the 704th Test Group at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico, and other DoD installations including White Sands Missile Range and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. This ID/IQ contract spans a five-year period from award and covers a broad scope including equipment procurement, maintenance and repair of heavy and precision machinery, metals processing, fabrication to government specifications, and supply of test materials, with all tasks coordinated and documented via an Online Workflow Management System (OWMS). The contract entails stringent packaging, handling, and shipping standards aligned with industry best practices and federal regulations to ensure safe transport of materials, including hazardous and temperature-sensitive items, and mandates the contractor produce a detailed Materials Transit and Customs Clearance SOP. Compliance with DFARS cybersecurity requirements ensures OWMS functionality protects sensitive data without directly interfacing with Air Force networks or handling controlled unclassified information. Security clearance requirements are notable, mandating at least one contractor employee possess a TOP SECRET clearance with rapid availability, coupled with adherence to DoD and installation-specific access procedures. The contract emphasizes strong oversight, where shipment preparation, documentation, and quality assurance lie with the contractor, while inspection and formal acceptance fall under government supervision via the Contracting Officer’s Representative and Program Manager. Although no explicit evaluation criteria or contract value is provided, the solicitation suggests a best-value approach for award. Special provisions include detailed reporting deliverables, such as performance metrics, cost reports, property accountability, and incident reporting, reinforcing accountability and transparency. Submission for this RFI is limited to a 10-page Statement of Capability, with responses due by mid-May 2026 via email to the designated contact. The contract structure anticipates future solicitations posted publicly, maintaining flexibility in technical requirements and emphasizing compliance with federal acquisition regulations and security mandates.
