The 434th Contracting Flight plans to issue a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Testforce USA Inc. for the procurement of the Testforce TF-300 DoD Automated Test Generator designed specifically for Instrument Landing Systems. The contract, valued at approximately $70,000, includes the complete test system, proprietary software and procedures, and a specialized hardware interface kit necessary for integration with the Air Force’s CM300/350 and URC-300 radios. Sole-source justification is based on the exclusive nature of the solution—Testforce developed the proprietary test procedures in partnership with the Air Force Flight Standards Agency, and no other vendor, including the original equipment manufacturer, has access to or can replicate these files. The hardware interface kit is uniquely designed and only available from Testforce, and the TF-300 is the only approved system that standardizes and replaces eight to twelve obsolete instruments, aligning with Air Force Technical Orders to reduce calibration, training, and maintenance burdens. This notice serves as an intent to award without competition, and no formal solicitation will be issued. However, any responsible source may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation by August 25, 2026, at 1:59 PM EDT to be considered for potential competition, though the Government retains full discretion to proceed without competition regardless of submissions. Responses must demonstrate 100% compatibility with existing Air Force navigational systems and meet all technical specifications of the TF-300, including software and hardware components. All submissions must be sent via email to Contracting Officer Jason A. Hahn at jason.hahn.4@us.af.mil. The contract is classified under NAICS code 334515, and performance will occur at Grissom ARB, Indiana. The notice was posted on August 10, 2026, under solicitation number F5D0016205A002.

Full Description

Show more

The 434th Contracting Flight intends to award a firm-fixed-price sole-source contract to Testforce USA Inc. (CAGE: 4L0V9) under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), soliciting from a single source for a requirement with an estimated value of $70,000.


The Government intends to procure a quantity of Testforce TF-300 DoD Automated Test Generator (ATG) for Instrument Landing Systems (ILS). This includes the test system, proprietary software/procedures, and the associated hardware interface kit.


Justification for Sole Source:
The Testforce TF-300 is the only system that can meet the Government's requirement. Market research has indicated that Testforce is the only source capable of providing this highly customized equipment for the following reasons:


  1. Proprietary Software and Procedures: The required test procedures and specialized setup files were developed by Testforce in direct partnership with the Air Force Flight Standards Agency (AFFSA). These files are proprietary to Testforce, reside on the test unit itself, and are not available from any other vendor, including the original equipment manufacturer (Viavi). Testforce is the only entity that controls and provides required updates to these systems.

  2. Unique Hardware Interface Kit: The procurement requires a specific hardware "kit" containing proprietary cables and adapters necessary to interface the test set with the Air Force's CM300/350 and URC-300 radios. This hardware kit was designed by and is exclusively provided by Testforce.

  3. System Integration and Standardization: This system is the approved and standardized solution for replacing 8 to 12 obsolete instruments with a single integrated test solution, which is critical for reducing calibration costs, training time, and maintenance complexity in alignment with official Air Force Technical Orders (TOs).


This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals or quotations. A formal solicitation will not be posted. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency if received by August 25, 2026, at 1:59 PM EDT.


Capability statements must provide clear and convincing evidence of the vendor's ability to provide a solution that is 100% compatible with existing Air Force airfield navigational systems and meets the precise specifications of the TF-300 DoD ATG ILS, including the proprietary software and hardware interface kits. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.


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


Responses must be submitted via email to the Contracting Officer, Jason A. Hahn, jason.hahn.4@us.af.mil, no later than the closing date and time specified above.

Notice of Intent to Sole Source: Automated Lodging Reservation System (ALRS) – Grissom ARB
Solicitation # F5D0016167A001
The 434th Contracting Flight at Grissom Air Reserve Base in Indiana plans to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Howard Day and Associates of Houston, Texas, for the procurement and ongoing support of the Automated Lodging Reservation System (ALRS). The acquisition is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) due to the proprietary nature of the ALRS, which includes exclusive source code, proprietary databases, and customized configurations that only Howard Day and Associates owns and can maintain. With an estimated annual value of $10,500 and a total contract value of $52,500 including potential options, the need for sole-source procurement stems from the absence of any other vendor capable of supporting the system without causing significant operational disruptions to Unit Training Assemblies. The Air Force Reserve Command has determined that competing this requirement would result in unnecessary duplication of costs and unacceptable delays in critical lodging management functions. Although this is not a competitive solicitation, all responsible vendors are invited to submit a capability statement demonstrating their ability to provide the ALRS system and associated services, in accordance with FAR 5.101(c)(1)(vi). Such submissions will be reviewed solely to evaluate whether a future competitive procurement is feasible, with the final decision to proceed as a sole-source action resting entirely with the government. Responses must be submitted electronically via email to the designated point of contact, Jason A. Hahn, by the deadline of August 12, 2026, at 2:00 PM EDT; no telephone inquiries will be accepted. The contract is classified under NAICS code 513210, and no set-aside provisions apply.
