Summary (Newest Update)

Background The United States Air Force intends to issue a Firm-Fixed-Price order to Slitherine Corporation for the Command Professional Edition Licenses. The goal of this contract is to utilize the Matrix Command PE software for operational effectiveness assessments related to RAV aerodynamic, structures, and integration technologies. The software is essential for developmental planning recommendations, and market research indicates that no alternative products can meet the agency's specific needs. Work Details The contract involves the procurement of Command Professional Edition Licenses from Slitherine Corporation. The specific product description includes: - Matrix Command PE software, which is required for conducting rapid turn assessments that significantly reduce reliance on more costly higher fidelity assessment tools. The software's unique capabilities are deemed essential for the Air Force Research Laboratory's operational effectiveness assessments. Period of Performance 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027 Bidder Requirements Bidders must provide points of contact, identification as a large or small U.S. business or foreign business, and any socioeconomic status such as Women-Owned Small Business or Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business. Additionally, bidders must include their Company CAGE Code or DUNS Number and address how their product meets the specified characteristics. All submitted information must be unclassified and responses are limited to 10 pages in a Microsoft Word compatible format. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent, with Slitherine Corporation awarded prior Command Professional Edition (Command PE) software/license requirements under contracts FA239624PB120 (10/01/24–09/30/25, $47,997) and FA239625PB074 (06/06/25–06/05/26, $47,997). The prior awards’ descriptions indicate Command PE licenses for AFRL/RQ needs, and the current notice similarly seeks Command PE licenses for operational effectiveness assessments using Matrix Command PE capabilities. The repeated license procurement and consistent product naming suggest the requirement is a continuation of the same software subscription/licensing effort.
