AI Contract Overview
The Department of Defense, through the Air Force Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base, is pursuing a sole-source acquisition for proprietary Telestra Servers, a software upgrade, and five years of annual software and information assurance maintenance subscription from ADVANCED SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY, INC. (ASTI), the original equipment manufacturer and sole provider of this proprietary system. The requirement is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as no other vendor possesses the proprietary rights, technical data, or capability to modify the software for mission-critical updates, and no authorized resellers exist. The scope includes three ASTi-SRV-11 servers, one software upgrade to the latest Telestra version, and a five-year subscription covering maintenance and information assurance, with the base year plus four option years. Market research confirmed that Telestra is the only hardware platform compatible with existing Simulation Integration Library systems across the Department of the Air Force, which require uniformity to maintain operational interoperability for at least 14 years. This solicitation is issued as a combined synopsis and solicitation under Revolutionary FAR Overhaul Subpart 12.2, using FAR provisions 52.212-1, 52.212-3, and 52.212-4 for commercial acquisition procedures. Responses are due by July 14, 2026, and while the solicitation is non-competitive by intent, all responsible sources may submit capability statements for consideration. Amendment 1 increases the quantity of CLIN 0001 from two to three units. The contracting office is AFTC/PZZG, the NAICS code is 541512 for computer systems design services, and the PSC code is 7A21 for business application software. No contract value, pricing details, delivery schedules, inspection criteria, or evaluation factors are provided in the available documentation.

Description of Requirement 🔍
This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products or commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) Subpart 12.2, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.
The Department of War (DoW) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with ADVANCED SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY, INC. (ASTI) for the procurement of proprietary Telestra Servers as well as a software upgrade and software licenses with annual subscription for the next 5 years.
Notice of Intent to Sole Source 🛡️
Subject
Description
Statutory Authority
10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by RFO 6.103-1
Justification
ASTi is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and sole developer/provider of the Telestra servers and associated software. No other vendor possesses the proprietary rights or technical data necessary to modify the code for mission and critical updates. There are no authorized resellers.
Scope of Work
3 ASTi-SRV-11 ASTi Servers
1 SW-UG-TEL Upgrade Telestra Software to new version
TL-SW-IA-M Software and IA Maintenance Subscription for 5 years (base + 4 option years)
Market Research
AI was used in the market research to find similar systems. The only hardware based system found was from ASTi. Similar packages such as SERA (Simulation Environment Radio Architecture) and Voisus Comms Logger are software packages described to be run on ASTi Telestra hardware. Solo Audio & I/O Devises are hardware peripherals to be added to a Telestra system. While SERA and Voisus were researched as being compatible with TELESTRA hardware, the SIL is required to keep their systems the same as other SIL's across the DAF. In that case TELESTRA has to be used by the SIL at least 14 years to comply.
