DAFL HOOPLA

The United States Air Force (USAF) has issued a Sources Sought Synopsis to conduct market research for an alternative digital content subscription product. This notice is for a potential FY26 base effort (July 2026 – July 2027) with two one-year options. The USAF is seeking a product similar to "Hoopla Content" that provides a vast, continuously updated library of ebooks, comics, audiobooks, movies, TV series, and music, accessible simultaneously with no holds, and firm-fixed pricing. Key requirements include extensive content, online and app accessibility with individual logins, marketing resources for librarians, compatibility with various devices, integration with EBSCO Stacks, and robust security (TLS 1.3, HSTS, RSA 2048-bits certificates). The Government will consider responses within 15 days of the notice, primarily to determine if a competitive procurement is feasible. Interested businesses must provide company information (points of contact, size, socioeconomic status, CAGE/UEI), and a capabilities statement demonstrating how their alternative product meets the specified characteristics. Responses are voluntary, unclassified, and will not be reimbursed. Information should be emailed to SrA William Sasser and Gustavo Guadron by June 5, 2026, 4:00 PM CDT.
