AI Contract Overview

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson AFB intends to negotiate a sole source firm-fixed price contract with Cadence Design Systems, Inc. for the renewal of the Cadence Level I Program, which includes the Custom Integrated Circuits Bundle, Digital Integrated Circuits Bundle, Verification Bundle, and Packaging and Board Bundle. This sole source procurement follows market research indicating that Cadence is the only responsible source capable of meeting the government’s unique and proprietary requirements.

Potential offerors have two days from the publication date to submit capability statements or proposals, although the government retains discretion over whether to compete based on responses. An Ombudsman, Lt Col Kenneth L. Decker, is appointed to address any concerns or recommendations from contractors during proposal development but does not influence evaluation or source selection. Interested parties or those seeking additional information can contact the Contract Specialist Jamie Parks. The contract concerns software under NAICS code 511210 and is designated for renewal under presolicitation number F4F5BE6180A101.
