This notice announces the Marine Forces Reserve (4th Marine Aircraft Wing) intent to award a sole source contract for PRDS-ASTi radio simulation licenses. - Sole source procurement to Advanced Simulation Technology Inc. (ASTi) - ASTi is the only developer and manufacturer of PRDS-ASTi licenses - Licenses are proprietary and required for compatibility with existing air control simulation architecture - Contract type: Firm-Fixed-Price - Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS 334290 - Period of performance: 1 September 2026 – 31 August 2027 (one year) - No other vendors possess the proprietary data or licensing authority - Supports critical air control simulation scenarios for USMC - No competing vendors identified; procurement will not be competed - Opportunity is for software licenses, not hardware or services

Description

The government requires PRDS-ASTi licenses (radio simulation equipment) to execute and sustain critical air control simulation scenarios. The period of performance for this requirement is 1 September 2026 through 31 August 2027. This action is conducted under the authority permitting other than full and open competition (e.g., FAR 13.106-1(b) or FAR 6.302-1). Advanced Simulation Technology Inc. (ASTi) is the sole developer, manufacturer, and proprietary rights holder of the PRDS-ASTi licenses. No other vendor possesses the proprietary data or licensing authority to provide this specific equipment. Consequently, ASTi is the only source capable of satisfying the agency's requirement for compatibility with existing air control simulation architecture.
