OFFICIAL NOTICE CONTENT
Opportunity description
Notice: This is not a solicitation but rather a Sources Sought Synopsis to determine potential sources for information and planning purposes only. The purpose of this Sources Sought is to conduct market research to determine if responsible sources exist, to assist in determining if this effort can be competitive and/or a total Small Business Set-Aside. PLEASE SEE ADDITIONAL ATTACHMENTS FOR FURTHER DETAILS AND VENDOR CAPABILITY QUESTIONS Program Details: The MABSM application is a highly customized, mission-critical Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) system. Originally built on a baseline commercial Impresa MRO/ERP software foundation, the system has undergone extensive, continuous customization over the past 24 years. To date, the MABSM baseline includes over 242,000 custom code changes, program specifications, testing criteria, and complex interface logic. These modifications enable real-time communication with 17 legacy Department of Defense (DoD) systems. This highly specialized, proprietary configuration of the COTS software bears little structural resemblance to its commercial progenitor and operates as a unique hybrid system. MABSM operates and is sustained within the Department of the Air Force's Cloud 1 enterprise cloud environment, leveraging DoD Impact Level 4/5 (IL4/IL5) secure cloud infrastructure. Sourcing specialized contractors who can operate seamlessly within Cloud 1's DevSecOps frameworks, managed services, and security boundaries is crucial to system stability. MABSM dictates the real-time tracking of critical assets, including aircraft parts, financial transactions, and Nuclear Weapons-Related Material (NWRM) items. Due to the high-tempo depot environments in which it is deployed, the system requires a performance baseline exceeding 95% system uptime and near-zero code degradation. Furthermore, national security mandates dictate 100% real-time accountability of NWRM items within any given 24-hour period. Instructions: The Government requests interested parties provide the following information (please limit your response to no more than 10 pages): Company Name and Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code.

GOVBIDFIT SCREENING LENS
What deserves attention before you spend bid time
These screening signals are generated from the public notice fields stored for this specific opportunity. They are not eligibility findings or predictions; they are prompts for a faster, more disciplined review of the official solicitation.
This notice appears to be market research rather than a conventional bid invitation. A capability response, technical feedback or evidence of market interest may matter more than a price proposal at this stage.
The stored response date leaves more than ten days, but amendments and pre-response milestones can shorten the usable preparation window.
The current feed does not show a program-specific set-aside restriction. That does not remove other eligibility, responsibility, registration or solicitation-specific requirements.
NAICS 541513 is the recorded classification. Use it as a screening clue, then compare the actual scope and deliverables rather than treating the code alone as proof of fit.
GovBidFit has stored substantive notice text for this record, but attachments, clauses, amendments and Q&A can still contain requirements that are not visible in the description alone.
The source data includes 2 public contracting contacts. Use the solicitation's stated communication rules and deadlines before contacting the buyer.
Questions to resolve next
What this opportunity record tells you
SAM.gov identifies this as a sources sought from DEPT OF DEFENSE. The record was posted on September 8, 2026 and currently lists October 8, 2026 as the response deadline. GovBidFit keeps source facts separate from its matching guidance so you can see what comes from the federal notice.
The listed product or service classification is NAICS 541513. The set-aside field is Unrestricted. These fields help narrow your search, but they do not replace the full solicitation, amendments, attachments, clauses or eligibility language on the official source.
Before deciding to bid
GovBidFit is independent and is not a U.S. government website. GovBidFit stores a structured mirror of SAM.gov public opportunity data in its own database and keeps the compact snapshot as a fallback. The official SAM.gov notice remains the controlling source. The official SAM.gov notice controls if anything here differs from the source or a later amendment.
