AI Contract Overview
The Department of Defense, through the Defense Information Systems Agency’s Contracting Division, is seeking market information for the procurement of IBM mainframe software products and associated support services under solicitation number 832674430. The effort targets authorized IBM OEM partners capable of providing Subscription and Support for International Product License Agreement and Monthly License Charge software licenses within a mainframe environment supporting the J-9 Hosting and Compute Line of Business at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. The anticipated contract has a five-year period of performance stretching from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2031, with a base year and four one-year optional periods. Offerors must be IBM-authorized, demonstrate experience supporting large-scale IBM mainframe infrastructure, and comply with FAR 52.219-14 regarding limitations on subcontracting. A small business set-aside may be considered if at least two qualified small businesses respond, and all respondents must disclose any joint ventures or partnerships along with the capabilities each party brings to the effort. Responses are limited to a five-page capabilities statement submitted via email by 2:00 PM EDT on May 15, 2026, to the designated points of contact. Offerors are required to provide their CAGE code, indicate their small business status and socio-economic designation—including SDB, 8(a), SDVOSB, HUBZone, or WOSB—and confirm IBM authorization. Proprietary information submitted must be clearly marked to receive protection under 41 USC 423, and unmarked material may be used without restriction. The acquisition is expected to leverage the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, though no pricing, contract value, or evaluation factors are specified in this sources-sought notice, as it is strictly for market research purposes. The government retains inspection and acceptance authority, with performance centered at Scott Air Force Base, and no formal packaging, invoicing, or payment office details have been outlined at this stage. This notice does not constitute a solicitation, and no contract has been awarded or signed.
