Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, Whiteman AFB, intends to award a sole-source contract for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System Service and Maintenance.

Eligibility & Submission
Whiteman AFB intends to award to HSQ Technology (CAGE 3S480) as the sole responsible source. However, in accordance with FAR 5.101(c)(4)(vi), all responsible sources may submit a quotation, bid, or proposal for consideration. Crucially, any interested party must certify that their proposed services and products integrate seamlessly with HSQ's proprietary software and hardware. Offers lacking this compatibility will be deemed non-conforming and ineligible for award. To obtain the solicitation, interested parties must email the primary point of contact.
Justification for Sole Source
A Sole Source Justification document confirms that HSQ Tech, Inc. is the sole manufacturer and proprietor of the existing SCADA software and systems. Market research, including a Sources Sought notice in August 2025, indicated that other vendors either proposed full system replacement (estimated at $7M) or required teaming with HSQ Tech. Only HSQ Tech's trained personnel can integrate, modify, or upgrade their software, making them the only viable source for maintaining the current system.
