What this contract is for

Agency: DEPT OF DEFENSE / DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE
Location: Langley AFB, VA
Set-aside: No Set aside used
NAICS: 541511 - Custom Computer Programming Services
Scope: Federal

Air Combat Command's (ACC) mission requires robust Tactical Datalink (TDL) interoperability to improve mission effectiveness for United States Air Force (USAF), Joint, and coalition forces.

To support this mission, the Government requires a modern software solution that serves as a relational database and analysis toolset.

This toolset is essential for the iSMART (interoperable Systems Management and Requirements Transformation) process and is used to populate, edit, analyze, and manage TDL message data, platform implementations, and interoperability evaluations.

The Contractor shall provide an existing commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software solution, including all necessary licenses, updates, training, and technical support.

The software shall provide a comprehensive toolset for managing TDL platform specifications, conducting interoperability analysis, and supporting mission planning across the TDL enterprise.

The TDL software solution must meet all requirements as listed in the Attachment 1 - Performance Work Statement.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
