Sole-source justification for ABADS MD BMC2 sustainment and deployment

This Department of the Air Force notice justifies a sole-source follow-on award for ABADS MD BMC2 sustainment and deployment under award number FA861226CB003. - Award context: The notice is a justification for using other than full and open competition, not a request for new proposals. - Customer: Air Force Materiel Command, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC/PZP), PAE C3BM/C3BYA. - Scope: Sustain and deploy the ABADS MD ecosystem and Battle Management Command & Control (BMC2) architecture. Services include 24/7 operational monitoring, help desk and field support, repairs, cybersecurity and RMF compliance, software patching, engineering and logistics, documentation and training support, and integration of BMC2 software onto Government-furnished equipment. - Incumbent/OEM: The justification identifies the incumbent as “LM Aero” in parts of the document; the contractor’s name is otherwise redacted. It cites proprietary software and data rights and the need to avoid a break in mission support as reasons for the sole-source approach. - Competition outlook: The effort is intended as a bridge to the more open MR2 architecture, with a competitive follow-on and transition planned after MR2 delivery and testing. - Schedule: A 12-month critical period is described. Base and option periods are mentioned, but their dates and durations are obscured; MR2 delivery and testing are projected to conclude in FY2027. - Unknowns: No product quantities, part numbers, or contract value are provided in the available information.
