Zeus Enterprise Display License Sources Sought

THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT ONLY. This announcement constitutes a Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) for the purpose of conducting market research only. NO solicitation exists. This is NOT a request for a quote, request for proposal, or an invitation to bid, nor is this to be construed as a commitment by the US Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract, nor does it restrict the Government to a particular acquisition approach. The Government will not reimburse or pay for any information submitted in response to this SSS or any follow-up information requests. The purpose is solely to identify potentially capable sources which can provide development, production, sustainment, services and integration of listed capabilities. The United States Air Force (USAF), through the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), fulfills program management activities and oversight of the MQ-9 Reaper Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) and its constituents, namely the Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) Squadron Operations Center (SOC), and Ground Control Station (GCS). AFLCMC desires to purchase the Zeus Enterprise Display license which provides access to the Tactical Display Framework (display server) to display Zeus 2.2.4.1 and prior versions for unlimited users. This license is a seat license, not the server licenses that make the Zeus capability.
