The United States Air Force’s 633rd Contracting Squadron at Langley AFB plans to award a non-competitive, single-source firm-fixed-price purchase order to Curtiss-Wright/Tactical Communications Group for the Battlefield Operation Support Systems (BOSS) Annual Support and Upgrades Gold Plan. This procurement supports nine existing BOSS platforms used by Air Combat Command for Link 16 datalink testing, with the Gold Plan providing proprietary software maintenance, hardware sustainment, extended warranties, troubleshooting, and unlimited help desk support to ensure continuous mission readiness. The contract includes a one-year base period and four optional one-year extensions, covering services from September 18, 2026, through September 17, 2031. The acquisition is justified under statutory authority 41 U.S.C. 1901 and simplified procedures due to the proprietary nature of BOSS software, firmware, and diagnostic tools, which only Curtiss-Wright/TCG can maintain. No other vendor possesses the necessary technical capability, making competition impractical. This announcement functions as a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation for commercial items, allowing other potential providers to submit a Capability Statement by July 20, 2026, at 4:30 PM Eastern Time, to demonstrate if they can meet the requirement. Submissions must be sent to Lester Yearwood and Margaret Young, with NAICS code 541519 and a size standard of $34 million. The government intends to make an award no later than August 14, 2026.

1. REQUIREMENT OVERVIEW
The United States Air Force, 633rd Contracting Squadron (Langley AFB, VA), intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order on a non-competitive, single-source basis to Curtiss‑Wright/Tactical Communications Group (TCG).


The requirement is for the procurement of the Battlefield Operation Support Systems (BOSS) Annual Support and Upgrades Gold Plan for nine (9) existing BOSS platforms currently utilized by the Air Combat Command (ACC). The BOSS is a specialized test system used to perform Link 16 datalink testing.


2. SCOPE OF WORK & PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE
The required Gold Plan subscription provides proprietary software maintenance, hardware sustainment, and technical support to ensure continued operability, configuration compatibility, and mission readiness. Specific support includes:

This notice does not constitute a request for competitive quotes. However, interested parties who believe they possess the technical capability to meet this specific requirement may submit a formal Capability Statement. The Government will evaluate all capability statements received to determine if a competitive procurement is in the best interest of the Government.


5. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
