AI Contract Overview
The 496th Air Base Squadron at Morón Air Base, Spain, is pursuing a sole source, firm-fixed-price contract upgrade to its Command and Control (C2) equipment, intended exclusively for L3Harris Technologies as the original equipment manufacturer. This procurement is necessary to maintain mission-critical operational capabilities through seamless integration of proprietary hardware and software with existing C2 systems, ensuring secure communications and uninterrupted functionality. Market research confirms that no other vendor possesses the technical specificity or proprietary knowledge to deliver an equivalent solution without significant cost duplication, schedule delays, or degradation of system interoperability, justifying the noncompetitive approach under FAR 12.201-1 simplified procedures. Although the solicitation will not be publicly issued, all responsible sources may submit capability statements demonstrating full compatibility with current L3Harris systems, the ability to integrate proprietary software without performance loss, and adherence to strict operational timelines, though failure to meet these criteria will result in exclusion. The contract is anticipated to be awarded following a presolicitation notice period ending on July 1, 2026, with no formal competition expected due to the exclusive nature of the technology. The North American Industry Classification System code is 334220, and the acquisition falls under the Department of Defense, specifically managed by the 496th ABS Contracting Office in Spain. No trade agreement provisions apply, and no additional qualifications beyond OEM-specific compatibility are required. Responsiveness will be evaluated solely on the ability to replicate or exceed the existing system’s operational integrity without introducing risk to ongoing missions. All inquiries should be directed to the designated contracting officers, TSgt Ryan Hopkin and SSgt Vida Mata, via provided email addresses.
