The Air Force Research Laboratory Enterprise Strategies and Initiatives Contracting Division intends to award a sole source purchase order to The Acoustical Society of America (ASA) for institutional membership. This requirement, categorized under NAICS 813920, is designated as a simplified acquisition because ASA is the only organization capable of providing the necessary membership and publications to support the scientific efforts of 711 HPW/RHWS. This membership is critical for the United States Air Force to maintain an active, voting role on ASA and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards committees, specifically those concerning acoustics, mechanical vibration and shock, bioacoustics, and noise. The contract is structured for a base year with four subsequent option years, with an estimated annual cost of 15,000 dollars. Key deliverables include the integration of one primary and one alternate USAF representative for each accredited standards committee, access to the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America and other scientific publications, and the provision of training materials for standards development. Performance milestones include biannual update meetings and the dissemination and collection of ballots for voting members. Interested parties may submit capability statements or exceptions to the sole source intent to the contracting office by October 23, 2026.
