Digital Badging and Micro-Credentialing Solution

The 42nd Contracting Squadron at Maxwell AFB, Alabama is issuing a sole source notice of intent to award a Firm-Fixed Price contract to Instructure, Inc. for a commercial digital badging and micro-credentialing solution to support enterprise-wide faculty and student development. This procurement is conducted under Revolutionary FAR Overhaul Part 12, which governs commercial item acquisitions, and specifically leverages RFO 6.103-1 to justify the non-competitive awards due to the unique capabilities of the vendor. The base period of performance is three years, from June 1, 2026, to June 1, 2029, with two optional one-year extensions that could extend the contract through June 2031. The solution will enable automated issuance, management, and verification of digital credentials to incentivize professional growth and recognize competency-based achievements across the organization, with the Statement of Requirement serving as the sole technical specification. No competitive evaluation factors, weights, or adjectival ratings are applicable, as the award is not solicited from other vendors. The contractor must be registered in the System for Award Management and capable of invoice processing through the Wide Area Workflow system. The primary place of performance is Maxwell AFB, Alabama, and all responses must be submitted electronically via email to the designated contracting personnel by June 2 or June 9, 2026, depending on the referenced solicitation. There is no specified contract value or pricing information provided, and no physical deliverables, packaging, or military standards apply, as this is a wholly digital service. The contractor is required to provide its Cage Code and Unique Entity ID as part of its response, and while socioeconomic status must be declared, no set-asides or preferences are in effect. No security clearances, key personnel requirements, or organizational conflict of interest provisions are mandated, and formal contract clauses or inspection standards are not detailed beyond alignment with the Statement of Requirement.
