The U.S. Air Force, through the 2nd Contracting Squadron at Barksdale Air Force Base, intends to award a sole source firm-fixed-price contract to Slitherine Corporation for the purchase and renewal of five Command Professional Edition Software Licenses under simplified commercial procedures. The software is essential to the Air Force Global Strike Command’s modeling and simulation capabilities, enabling operator-informed analysis for time-sensitive missions, commander inquiries, and high-level acquisition evaluations up to ACAT-1 level. Slitherine is the exclusive distributor of this proprietary software, and no alternative product meets the government’s highly specialized requirements, justifying the absence of competition under RFO 5.101(c)(4)(vii). The contract will be issued via an oral request for quotation rather than a formal solicitation, with no obligation on the government to compensate responders or incur costs related to this notice. Potential offerors who believe they can compete for this acquisition must submit an interest letter demonstrating technical expertise, certifications, and authorization, along with clear evidence that competitive procurement would benefit the government without being cost or time prohibitive. This notice does not preclude future competition, and all submissions will be evaluated only for their potential to inform future acquisition decisions. The response deadline is August 3, 2026, and questions should be directed to A1C Mitchio Lemari or TSgt Randy Tedrow, the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer respectively. The acquisition is classified under NAICS code 541511 and is designated as a Small Business Set Aside with total set-aside intent.

Lack of competition justification IAW RFO 5.101(c)(4)(vii)): 
Slitherine Corporation owns the proprietary program and is the sole distributor of the software licenses.

No other software meets the government's highly specialized commercial requirements. 



Notice to potential offerors (IAW RFO 5.101(c)(4)(vi)): 
This notice does not constitute a solicitation document; the Contracting Officer intends to issue an oral RFQ directly to the intended source. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency for future acquisitions. All information received after publication of this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future. The Government will not be responsible for any costs incurred by responding to this notice. The Government will not pay for information received. 


Firms who desire to challenge this sole source action must submit an interest letter (email is acceptable) that demonstrates technical expertise, certifications, and authorization to compete for this acquisition. The letter must describe clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government and 
will not be cost or time prohibitive.
