Kessel Run PRIME Contract RFI

Introduction:

AFLCMC C3C, Kessel Run (KR) has the responsibility of developing, fielding, and operating mission critical warfighting applications in support of the U.S. Air Force. These applications need to be operationally available and mission capable 24/7/365 in highly contested environments.

Because of these high-level demands, KR must constantly evolve with the needs and requirements of the Warfighter. This agile approach extends to the services we contract from industry. Moreover, KR must adopt a mature acquisition strategy that provides for an agile procurement of services to maintain pace with a constantly changing threat environment.

Therefore, it is the intent of KR to solicit responses from responsible sources to this Request for Information (RFI) to collaboratively review and refine the attached requirements, ensuring they are clear, comprehensive, and fully actionable.
