Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source to PivotPoint for CAMEO training services. This special notice indicates the government's intention to award a contract without full and open competition, citing PivotPoint as the only responsible source for this specialized training. Interested parties who believe they can provide the required services must submit their capabilities by March 18, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
This opportunity concerns the procurement of specialized training for the Cameo Systems Modeler tool, which is critical for the Department of Defense's Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) efforts. The justification for a sole-source award to PivotPoint is based on their certification by No Magic, Inc., the developer of the Cameo Systems Modeler tool, making them uniquely qualified to provide proprietary, tool-specific training.
