This requirement includes the following services: 1. Global Netflow Analytics & Threat Tracking Netflow Telemetry Querying: Provide access to a massive, global network flow database with the ability to run targeted queries on source/destination IP addresses, ports, protocol types, packet counts, and timestamps. Threat Infrastructure Tracking: Enable analysts to trace malicious command and control (C2) servers, map botnets, analyze hostile infrastructure, and perform forensic attribution. Passive DNS & IP Reputation: Integrated access to historical passive DNS databases and IP threat scores to quickly context-resolve suspect nodes. Encrypted Traffic Profiling: Capabilities to identify and analyze anomalous traffic patterns and identify threat actors utilizing virtual private networks (VPNs) or encrypted tunneling. 2. System Access & Seat Allocation License Tier: Platinum level subscription. User Capacity: 15 dedicated user licenses (seats) for cyber defense analysts. Secure, web-based software platform with 24/7/365 availability. API endpoints for integrating intelligence feeds directly into the unit's local security tools, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems, or data orchestrators. 3. Operations & Maintenance Support Software Updates: Ongoing platform upgrades, database maintenance, search engine optimization, and feature additions throughout the performance periods at no extra cost. Technical Support: Helpdesk and administrator support for user troubleshooting, configuration assistance, and platform optimization. Up to three training sessions are available with Augury subscriptions. CONTRACT TYPE: Firm-Fixed-Price PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: Base Year: Sep 30, 2026 To Mar 29, 2027 Option Year 1: Mar 30, 2027 To Jun 29, 2027 Option Year 2: Jun 30, 2027 To Sep 29, 2027 Option Year 3: Sep 30, 2027 To Sep 29, 2028 Option Year 4: Sep 30, 2028 To Sep 29, 2029 SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION: This acquisition is proposed on a sole-source basis to Argonne Ridge Group, LLC, under the authority of RFO 6.103-1, Only One Responsible Source, and 10 U.S.C. � 3204(a)(1). Augury is currently integrated into Mission Delta 6�s operational baseline through prior work performed with U.S. Space Command. As a result, Augury represents the only known capability that is presently integrated and available to support the requirement without additional platform-validation, integration, security, and sustainment efforts. Award to Argonne Ridge Group, LLC would avoid the cost, schedule impact, and operational risk associated with modifying the current infrastructure; conducting additional demonstrations and security assessments; integrating a new platform; migrating data and workflows; and training personnel on a replacement capability. These additional efforts would delay fielding of a needed capability and introduce unnecessary cost and risk to the Government. A Sources Sought notice, FA255026AC002, was posted on SAM.gov on 21 September 2026 for three days to identify other software platforms capable of meeting the requirement. Although market research identified other potentially similar capabilities, the responses did not demonstrate that any alternative platform is immediately deployable and fully compliant with Mission Delta 6 requirements. Specifically, the alternative submissions contained unresolved gaps related to material capability validation, data sources and retention, integration methods, security boundaries, hosting, application programming interface specifications, service-level agreements, and sustainment. Further demonstrations, technical assessments, and integration efforts would be required before the Government could determine whether those platforms satisfy the requirement and can be integrated into Department of the Air Force Department of Defense Information Network systems. Argonne Ridge Group, LLC is the only known responsible source capable of providing the required Augury capability to meet the Government�s immediate operational need. ANTICIPATED SOLICITATION ISSUANCE DATE: On or about 28 Sep 2026. RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE: This is a presolicitation notice only. No quotes or proposals are being requested at this time. A solicitation will be issued directly to Argonne Ridge Group, LLC as the sole source contractor. This notice is being posted to satisfy the requirements of RFO 5.101 for acquisitions using the authority at RFO 6.103-1. Interested parties may submit capability statements or information relevant to this requirement; however, this is a sole source acquisition and the Government does not intend to award to any other contractor.
