Notice of Intent to Sole Source: Standalone Bridge Contract for AFLCMC/EZ Cybersecurity and Systems Engineering Support
Solicitation # AFLCMC-EZ-20260716-NO
This contract action is a sole-source, non-competitive award under FAR Part 6, justified by the unique and irreplaceable capabilities of KBR Wyle Services, LLC, to provide highly specialized cybersecurity, systems engineering, and AIMS Program Office support services. The acquisition is structured as a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee Level-of-Effort (CPFF LOE) contract with an estimated performance period of 12 to 18 months, aimed at maintaining uninterrupted mission-critical operations at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The contractor is uniquely positioned due to its incumbent status, deep institutional knowledge of DoD systems, certified Security Control Assessors, and proven expertise in implementing the NIST Risk Management Framework while conducting Advanced Friendly Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) certifications that support 180 annual certifications for U.S. and allied aircraft fleets. The government’s determination that no other source can meet the requirement without unacceptable risk of operational disruption forms the basis of the sole-source justification, leveraging existing access to proprietary systems and ongoing certification records, making transition to another vendor infeasible. The solicitation is not open to competition, but responsible sources may submit capability statements by August 5, 2026, at 2 PM EST, with the understanding that the government retains full discretion to determine whether competition is warranted based on responses received. Evaluation is not based on competitive scoring or pricing trade-offs; instead, submissions must demonstrate clear and convincing evidence of technical capability in RMF cybersecurity assessments, IFF certification, and adherence to federal mandates including FISMA, the Clinger-Cohen Act, and Executive Orders 13800 and 14028. All performance will occur at Wright-Patterson AFB, with acceptance conducted solely by the U.S. Air Force, and no packaging, delivery, or invoicing specifics are outlined due to the nature of service delivery. An ombudsman is available for procedural concerns, but not for influencing evaluation or award decisions. The contract value is estimated between $10 million and $100 million, though no specific ceiling or line items are disclosed, and no socioeconomic set-asides or offeror representations are applicable, as the award is predicated entirely on unique technical necessity rather than market competition.
