AI Contract Overview

The Department of Defense intends to award a sole-source Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) for cybersecurity research and development services supporting the DEVCOM Analysis Center (DAC) laboratories. This contract will provide continuous cybersecurity analysis and support focused on equipping, modernizing, and sustaining weapons systems and materiel for military use. The anticipated performance period spans five years, with task orders issued on a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee basis. UTEP is uniquely positioned as the only responsible source due to its deep integration with DAC laboratory systems, specialized knowledge of the laboratory infrastructure, cybersecurity architecture, and ongoing research platforms critical to mission success. This contract requires UTEP personnel to maintain and update cybersecurity research systems, ensure compatibility with existing DAC environments, and conduct vital ongoing analysis to support Warfighter needs. Due to UTEP’s exclusive technical expertise and understanding of the current environment, shifting this work to another provider could introduce significant technical risks and operational delays. While this notice is not a request for competitive proposals, any capable sources may submit capability statements or proposals by May 19, 2026, for Government consideration, though the decision to compete or not remains at the Government’s discretion. The primary point of contact is Alexander Cheatham, reachable via email for any responses or inquiries.

Full Description

Please see attached Synopsis.

The United States Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements, based on compatibility requirements and unique contractor capability.

The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), 500 W. University Ave., El Paso, Texas 79968-8900 (CAGE Code: 0MLB3) for the award of an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide continuous cybersecurity support services to the DEVCOM Analysis Center (DAC) laboratories.

The anticipated ordering period for this IDIQ contract will be five (5) years, during which Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) task orders will be issued.

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, any responsible source that believes it has the capability to meet the Government’s requirement may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which will be considered by the Government only if received by the closing date and time specified in this notice.

A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.

Requirement:

The objective of this contract is to provide critical cybersecurity analysis and support to the DEVCOM Analysis Center (DAC) laboratories in order to support the equipping, modernization, and sustainment of weapons systems and materiel for the Warfighter.

The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) is the only responsible source capable of meeting the Government’s requirements due to its established integration with DAC laboratory systems and its unique technical expertise supporting the existing cybersecurity research environment.

UTEP personnel possess specialized knowledge of the DAC laboratory infrastructure, experimental research platforms, and cybersecurity architecture, which enables them to:

Maintain and support existing cybersecurity research systems

Implement updates required to support new experimental articles

Ensure compatibility with DAC laboratory environments

Conduct ongoing cybersecurity research and analysis required for mission execution

Due to this unique knowledge of the existing laboratory environment and system architecture, transitioning this effort to another source would result in significant technical risk, schedule delays, and potential disruption to critical cybersecurity research supporting the Warfighter.

Responses to this notice are due on or before 19 May 2026 to Alexander Cheatham, alexander.k.cheatham.civ@army.mil.
