Notice of Intent to Sole Source - CAIRS Software
The government intends to award a sole-source contract for renewal, maintenance, and support of the proprietary CAIRS software suite at Holloman AFB, citing Unique Communications Solutions as the only authorized source. This software is critical for managing Holloman’s telecommunications infrastructure, including its 911 emergency services network. The government will consider capability statements from other vendors to determine if competition is feasible, but any alternative would require costly migration and risk severe operational disruption. Interested parties must demonstrate their ability to provide fully compatible support without infringing on the OEM’s proprietary rights. Performance of the required services would be at Holloman AFB, New Mexico.
