About this file
This file is a Request for Information (RFI) response template in spreadsheet format for the Air Force Test Center (AFTC) April 2026 solicitation (FA930226000). The RFI seeks market research on mature information system network or on-premises network solutions with comprehensive life-cycle support that the AFTC would acquire and issue as Government-Furnished Equipment (GFE) to small business contractors supporting AFTC service and research and development efforts.
The template contains 15 questions requiring respondents to describe their proposed solution's architecture (on-premises or cloud-based), compliance with NIST SP 800-53 and government network requirements for Authority to Operate (ATO), transition to GFE status, and comprehensive life-cycle support including services, training, governance, helpdesk, and monitoring. Respondents must address how the solution sustains network operations with all necessary management, personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, and support; demonstrate superiority over competing solutions; enable small business contractor participation across manufacturing, software development, testing, and R&D; and scale to thousands of contractors and subcontractors. Critical requirements include protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), including ITAR and EAR data, ensuring contract CUI remains on the government-owned solution. The template also requests mitigation strategies for any challenges in meeting full requirements, interest in an industry pitch day, and complete company information including UEI number, CAGE code, and points of contact. This RFI is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a commitment to award a contract or provide compensation for responses.
