OFFICIAL NOTICE CONTENT

Opportunity description

Stored from SAM.gov public data

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. Name, phone number, and email address for point of contact(s). The applicable NAICS Code for this acquisition is _______. Based on this NAICS Code, what is your size status? ______ Small Business ______ Small Disadvantaged ______ Women-Owned ______ Veteran-Owned ______ Service-Disabled Veteran Owned ______ Hub-Zone ______ 8(a) ______ Large Business Are you currently registered in SAM.gov and WAWF? The NAICS Code selected for this potential requirement is 541513 or 541519, which has a size standard of $37M or $24M. If you disagree that 541513 or 541519 is the proper NAICS Code, please submit that comment to the requiring activity along with what NAICS Code you believe this should be classified under; however, please do not wait for an amendment to this request. The due date for the market survey will remain at 08 October 2026. This date will not be extended. Provide any authorized distributor letters as necessary for non-manufactured items that state you are authorized distributors for Hill AFB, Utah. You are encouraged to provide any documentation to support your business�s capability in meeting the requirements. Failure to provide this type of documentation may result in the Government being unable to adequately assess your business�s capabilities to supply MABSM Sustainment and Implementation services. Questions related to this market survey should be addressed to the contact provided below. The question must contain a phone number and email address for responses. Please provide all responses to this survey � to include any questions or comments you might have � to the requiring activity no later than 08 October 2026 to the attention to Hannah Rearick via email: hannah.rearick@us.af.mil or to Nate Littlewood via email: nathanial.littlewood@us.af.mil.

GOVBIDFIT SCREENING LENS

What deserves attention before you spend bid time

Decision support

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.

Market-research stage

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.

Planning window available

The stored response date leaves more than ten days, but amendments and pre-response milestones can shorten the usable preparation window.

No socioeconomic restriction recorded

The current feed does not show a program-specific set-aside restriction. That does not remove other eligibility, responsibility, registration or solicitation-specific requirements.

Classification signal

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.

Official description available

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.

Public buyer contact available

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

Has SAM.gov posted an amendment or changed the response date, attachments or submission instructions since this GovBidFit snapshot was refreshed?Does the notice request a capability statement, technical response, questions, pricing input, or another specific market-research response?Are there question deadlines, site visits, registrations or internal approvals that occur before the final response date?Can the business perform in Utah at a sustainable cost after travel, mobilization, staffing, licensing and subcontractor requirements are considered?

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

Read the complete official description and scope. Verify the exact response date, time and time zone on SAM.gov. Confirm NAICS/PSC and every set-aside eligibility requirement. Review attachments, amendments, Q&A and submission instructions. Check place of performance, staffing, insurance, bonding and execution requirements.
Source and trust

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.
