Amended Class Justification for Information Assurance/Mission Assurance and Life Cycle Management Program Integrated Data Environment (LCMP-IDE) in support of: United States Air Force (USAF) Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Lifecycle Management Center

This contract, identified by solicitation number AAS-26-00005a and posted on SAM.gov on June 15, 2026, amends a prior Exception to Fair Opportunity justification to sustain the proprietary Lifecycle Management Program-Integrated Data Environment (LCMP-IDE) system developed by Booz Allen Hamilton under CAGE Code 17038. The effort supports five distinct task orders for the U.S. Air Force’s Air Force Materiel Command and Air Force Lifecycle Management Center, primarily focused on maintaining mission assurance and life cycle management for critical platforms including the Presidential fleet and aging VC-25A aircraft. Performance is designated for Oklahoma, 73145, despite the contractor’s headquarters being in McLean, Virginia. The acquisition spans a twelve-month base period, four additional twelve-month option periods, and a six-month service extension, all structured to facilitate a transition away from sole-source dependency on Booz Allen Hamilton’s proprietary system. To address vendor lock-in and Organizational Conflict of Interest concerns, the Government is mandating a Modular Open System Approach to secure unlimited rights to the Form, Fit, and Function data of LCMP-IDE, enabling future competitive sustainment while ensuring uninterrupted operations during the transition. Personnel performing under this contract must hold Yankee White security clearances, requiring a two-year lead time to establish the cleared workforce, which directly informs the extended performance timeline. No set-aside provisions apply, and the NAICS code 541511 indicates this is a procurement for custom computer programming services without socioeconomic targeting. Although the structure suggests an IDIQ-type framework with multiple task orders and option periods, the specific contract type is not explicitly stated. No pricing data, CLINs, or contract value estimates are disclosed, and no detailed inspection, packaging, or invoicing requirements are specified. Proposal submissions are due via SAM.gov by July 1, 2026, with no formal evaluation factors, adjectival ratings, or submission formatting rules provided. The contract relies heavily on government certifications regarding the justification for non-competitive award, with no offeror representations or socioeconomic certifications required or provided beyond the validated CAGE code. The overarching objective is to dismantle proprietary dependency through open system principles while maintaining continuous mission-critical operations under stringent security and clearance constraints.
