Description

The United States Air Force Air Combat Command is seeking a commercial‑off‑the‑shelf (COTS) Tactical Data Link (TDL) interoperability software solution. The contractor must provide the software, all required licenses, updates, training, and technical support to enable the iSMART process for managing TDL message data, platform specifications, and interoperability evaluations. The award will cover a base year (1 Feb 2027 – 31 Jan 2028) with up to four one‑year options and a six‑month option, delivering 120 user licenses annually, maintenance, and two annual training sessions. Delivery is required within 30 days after order receipt, with the FOB point at Langley Air Force Base, VA. Evaluation will be based on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria. • Provide COTS software with full functionality for TDL data ingestion, analysis, export, and mission‑thread evaluation. • Supply 120 software licenses per year, including maintenance/updates. • Conduct two annual training sessions (in‑person and online) for up to 10 students each. • Deliver within 30 days ARO; base‑year performance period 1 Feb 2027 – 31 Jan 2028, with optional extensions through 1 Aug 2032. • Submit proposals by 10 Oct 2026; questions due by 4 Sep 2026. • Award will be made to the lowest priced offer that meets all technical requirements.

Budget estimate

$250,000 – $600,000

The solicitation’s size standard is $34 M, but the actual contract value is likely far lower because it covers 120 software licenses per year plus maintenance and training. Assuming an average license cost of $500–$800, annual license revenue would be $60k–$96k. Adding maintenance (≈15% of license cost) and two training sessions (≈$30k per year) brings the total annual spend to roughly $100k–$150k. Over the base year plus up to five optional years (≈5 years), the total contract value could range from $500k to $750k. Therefore, a reasonable estimate is $250k on the low end (base year only, modest pricing) to $600k on the high end (full five‑year period with higher license pricing).
