Quick Summary
The Department of the Army has issued a Limited Source Justification for Weapon System Sustainment (WSS) and Flying Hour Program (FHP) Support Services. This document justifies a sole-source contract award to Infinite Technologies, Inc. (ITI) for the continued provision of Centralized Access for Data Exchange (CAFDEX®) Management Direct Support services and the Service as a Solution (SaaS) Flying Hour (FH) Software Suite. This is a justification, not a solicitation for proposals.
Scope of Work
The required services include:
- Continued provision of CAFDEX® Management Direct Support services.
- Provision of the SaaS Flying Hour (FH) Software Suite.
- Analysis and Weapon System Sustainment Support for the National Guard Bureau (NGB).
- The software suite must reside on Government servers under an existing Authority to Operate (ATO) on the Air Force network.
Contract Details
- Type: Firm Fixed Price (FFP)
- Contracting Activity: W9133L
- Requiring Activity: W9133L-(NGB-AQ (A4)
- Vendor: Infinite Technologies, Inc. (ITI)
- Previous Contract Number: W9133L15C0063
- Place of Performance: St James, MD 20762, United States
Justification & Eligibility
This is a sole-source justification, citing 41 U.S.C. 4106(c) as implemented in FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B). The justification states that only ITI is capable of providing the required services due to their unique and highly specialized nature, specifically their proprietary CAFDEX® software and existing ATO. Market research, including sources sought and an intent to sole source posting on SAM.gov, yielded no viable alternative sources.
Key Considerations
- The government cannot allot the significant time (over 12 months) required for new software development and certification.
- ITI, as the incumbent, already possesses the necessary ATO, enabling immediate deployment and avoiding critical operational gaps.
- Failure to meet HAF timelines could negatively impact the Air National Guard's Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) process, risking flying hours and funding.
- The previous contract option period ended on September 29, 2025, with the government currently operating under a 52.217-8 extension.
