About this file
This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Air Force Lifecycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Cryptologic and Cyber Systems Division at Joint Base San Antonio–Lackland, Texas, for market research and planning purposes only. The RFI seeks information on commercially available AI solutions comparable to or exceeding AskSage capabilities that can operate securely within Department of Defense environments, particularly at Impact Level 2 (IL2) classification levels. The Government is interested in alternatives that provide secure access to multiple Large Language Models, generative AI chat and assistance, document analysis and summarization, content generation, data analysis, workflow automation, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, API integration, and AI-enabled productivity capabilities while meeting DoD cybersecurity, data protection, identity and access management, and information-assurance requirements.
Respondents must complete three worksheets addressing: (1) alternative solutions similar to AskSage, including enterprise, cloud-managed, or open-source editions with comparative analysis; (2) alignment with specific capability requirements such as natural-language task specification, conversational refinement, autonomous multi-step task execution, tool orchestration, human approval controls, code and terminal execution, artifact creation, and parallel agent execution; and (3) pricing information including transition and training costs, monthly/annual pricing plans, volume discounts, and contract terms of up to five years (base year plus four one-year options). Respondents must provide contact information, company identification, CAGE/DUNS codes, and details on FedRAMP or DoD authorization status, supported deployment models, data handling protections, model availability, technical support, scalability, and licensing structures. No submission deadline, award date, or contract vehicle is specified as this is solely for market research; responses are voluntary and will not obligate the Government to issue a solicitation or award a contract.

RFI Q&A
Note: This document is only interested in alternative software. All three sheets in this document is to be completed.
| Alternative Types: | |
| 1 | What alternatives do you offer that is similar to AskSage? |
(Please provide details on available options, such as enterprise, cloud-managed, or open-source/community editions. For each alternative option/solution, please provide how it differs from the listed.) [ENTER ANSWER HERE]
2 For each alternative option/solution, please provide how it is similar from the listed.
(Please specify any feature restrictions, scalability limitations, or support differences among the provided solution (e.g., data retention, search query limits, or alerting capabilities) [ENTER ANSWER HERE]
3 For each alternative option/solution, please provide how it meets the above requirements.
(Please identify core features or capabilities that are shared across all options, such as Project/workspace access, Conversational coding, Agentic task execution, Code editing, Terminal execution, Tool use, Context management, Review & approval, Git integration, Debugging, Artifacts/previews, Parallel/background agents, Permissions & safety controls, Session persistence etc.) [ENTER ANSWER HERE]
4 For each alternative option/solution, clarify how it meets our requirement needs per the Requirements Capability Sheet (Sheet 2).
(Please highlight specific ways in which each alternative can address our operational, particularly in IL2 areas) [ENTER ANSWER HERE]
| Pricing Information: | |
| 1 | For each alternative, please provide estimated transition and training costs and schedule for both transitioning to and from your proposed solution. |
(Include details on onboarding costs, consulting, or configuration support required for a smooth transition. Specify any training options available, such as workshops, online courses, or documentation resources, and their associated costs.) [ENTER ANSWER HERE]
2 For each alternative, please provide any price plans associated such as monthly, trial, annual.
(Indicate if discounts are offered for longer-term contracts or high-volume deployments. For cloud-managed options, provide cost breakdowns for storage, query processing, and other usage-based charges.) [ENTER ANSWER HERE]
| Other Considerations: | |
| 1 | Are there any additional features or benefits associated with the alternative that we should consider? |
For example, subagent workflows, cross-thread agentic management, state of the art harness - Please clarify any value-added services, such as dedicated account support, proactive health checks, or best-practice workshops, that come with certain licenses tiers. [ENTER ANSWER HERE]
