Attachments:
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) for annual accreditation maintenance. This requirement supports the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The acquisition is classified under NAICS code 611310, Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools, and PSC R420, Support- Professional: Certifications and Accreditations (Other than Educ or Info Tech C&A).
The scope of this effort involves maintaining accreditation for seven of AFIT’s engineering and applied science programs, a process ABET has managed for the institute since 1963. Market research indicates that ABET is the sole recognized accreditor for college and university programs in applied and natural science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology. Because the accreditation process is specialized and proprietary, no other organization is authorized to perform these services. This notice is issued under the authority of RFO 6.103-1, as the required services are available from only one responsible source.
Interested parties may submit a capability statement providing clear and convincing evidence of their ability to satisfy the requirements to the primary contact, Brian Algeo, by June 3, 2026, at 11:00 AM EST. Submissions must reference solicitation number FA860126Q0054 and adhere to specific email subject line and file format requirements. Documentation associated with this notice includes a Performance Work Statement, a redacted Sole Source Justification, and a PWS supplement. While this notice is not a request for competitive proposals, the government will consider responses received by the deadline to determine whether to compete the proposed contract.
