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 (AFLCMC

This Class Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (ETFO) supports the United States Air Force Air Force Lifecycle Management Center (AFLCMC) in awarding five Time and Materials task orders to Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH) under GSA Alliant 2 and OASIS+ GWACs. The contract focuses on the sustained support, cybersecurity, and modernization of the proprietary Lifecycle Management Program-Integrated Data Environment (LCMP-IDE), a cloud-based platform hosted on AWS GovCloud and DISA DECC. This system is critical for managing aircraft lifecycle and mission readiness across 36 divisions, including support for the B-52, KC-135, C-130, VC-25A, and E-4B platforms. Booz Allen Hamilton is designated as the sole source due to its exclusive ownership of the system's intellectual property and source code, as well as 19 years of institutional knowledge. The government has determined that transitioning to a new vendor would pose high technical and operational risks, including a potential 36-month delay in achieving Authority to Operate (ATO) and an estimated rebuild cost of 370 million dollars. To mitigate this long-term dependency, the government plans to transition to a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) between 2026 and 2027. Performance is primarily based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with additional work at Tinker and Robins Air Force Bases. Each of the five task orders follows a structure of a one-year base period, a one-year option, and a six-month extension. Due to the sensitive nature of the mission, strict security requirements are in place, requiring 85 percent of personnel to hold Top Secret clearances and at least 14 personnel to possess Yankee White clearances for Presidential and VIPSAM program support.
