This procurement, identified under FA248926DB003-Justification, is not a solicitation for proposals but rather a public justification for a noncompetitive contract action.

The period of performance for this contract is five years. The scope of work encompasses non-personal Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) in support of Air Force Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) activities across multiple centers. The services to be provided include a broad range of engineering and technical support, studies, analyses, evaluations, management and professional services, as well as ancillary equipment necessary to fulfill the mission requirements.

The place of performance is Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.
The justification for this sole source award is based on the authority of FAR 6.302-5, which allows for noncompetitive acquisitions when authorized or required by statute.

This program permits noncompetitive follow-on awards to qualified employee-owned businesses, and Torch Technologies, Inc. met the criteria for this designation. The required Justification and Approval document has been signed and is available as an attachment to the notice.
