Intent to Sole Source - VMware Voice Software and License Renewal

The U.S. Department of Defense, through the 81 CONS / PKB contracting office at Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi, intends to award a sole source contract to Carahsoft Technology Corp. for the renewal of VMware Voice Software and associated licenses, utilizing authority under FAR 6.104-2(a) and FAR 12.102(a). This non-competitive action is mandated by Department of the Air Force Manual 17-1203, Section 3.2, which requires the use of the DISA VMware by Broadcom Blanket Purchase Agreement, designating Carahsoft as the sole authorized vendor. The procurement is strictly for license renewal and technical support services to ensure uninterrupted operation of mission-critical voice systems on the NIPR network, with no new features, enhancements, or upgrades included. The place of performance is Biloxi, Mississippi, and all submissions, including quotes or capability statements, must be emailed to macey.behee@us.af.mil by 8:00 AM CDT on May 8, 2026. While the government is open to receiving responses to this notice, it retains full discretion to proceed with the sole source award regardless of any submissions received. No formal evaluation factors, pricing details, line items, or inspection criteria are specified in the documentation, consistent with the simplified acquisition threshold and the mandatory nature of the BPA. The contracting officer, Ms. Macey Behee, is the primary point of contact, and although the contract type and value remain unspecified, the action is structured as a non-competitive, streamlined procurement under federal regulation with no requirement for competitive bidding or cost analysis.
