S-IRIS 2027 Coversheet Draft.pdf

THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE. NO SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.

The purpose of this Sources Sought Notice is to identify potential sources capable of performing the effort described here in pursuant to FAR Part 10, Market Research and FAR Part 19, Small Business Programs. This is for planning purposes only.

Any information submitted by respondents to this Sources Sought Notice is voluntary. The Air Force does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this notice or to otherwise pay for the information solicited. Respondents should not construe this notice as commitment by the Air Force for any purpose and should refrain from providing proprietary information.

INTRODUCTION:

The 377 Mission Support Group Contracting Division (MSG/PK) at Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB) is conducting market research to identify capable sources for managing the Air Force Safety Center’s (AFSEC) Safety-Integrated Risk Information System (S-IRIS) in support of the Military Flight Operations Quality Assurance (MFOQA) program for Air Force Department of Warfare (DoW) aviation operations. MFOQA is a 23-year-old established USAF program, critical to supporting the aviation warfighting mission. The contractor shall provide support for development, implementation, operational deployment, assessment, sustainment and evolution of AF proactive safety using MFOQA.

The primary objective of this acquisition is to sustain and run flight safety data pipelines and analytical systems without a single day of operational downtime to develop and deliver MFOQA analytical products to warfighters. Because MFOQA directly impacts combat capability and lives, the Government will not tolerate any missed products to customers, transition lags, or temporary drops in output quality.

To be deemed capable, respondents must explicitly demonstrate how they will meet the following non-negotiable thresholds from contract start:

• Day-1 GOTS Software & Pipeline Stability (No Delays): Respondents must demonstrate the immediate capacity to support, maintain, troubleshoot, and run the web-based, Government Off-the- Shelf (GOTS) open-source IRMS platform on Day 1 of contract award. The contractor must maintain uninterrupted flight safety data processing across all upstream and external databases (including AFIRM, EXOSTAR, ASIMIS, and GO81) with zero operational downtime and absolutely no delays to product delivery to Major Commands (MAJCOMs).

• Immediate Support for 28 Unique Aircraft Variants: Upon contract award, the contractor must support, maintain, and execute unique data ingestion and analysis processes for all 28 unique aircraft variants as listed in Appendix 4 of the PWS. This established baseline process must be “frozen” for a minimum of 60 days post-award before any modernizations or significant platform updates may be proposed.

• Strict 30-Day Transition & Personnel Readiness: All proposed personnel must be fully cleared, certified, and ready to perform IAW the PWS by the end of the 30-day transition period. Transition schedules must demonstrate independent operational control in 30 days or less. Key personnel (including Flight Data Analysts) must fully meet PWS Section 2.4 baselines. Bidders should detail their utilization of the Non-Displacement of Qualified Workers framework to capture and retain incumbent expertise.

This effort is expected to result in a Firm-Fixed-Price contract. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is anticipated to be 541511 – Custom Computer Programming Services. The size standard for NAICS code 541511 is $30M.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Interested businesses capable of demonstrating the ability to meet the draft PWS shall submit a Statement of Capabilities (SOC). SOCs should be no more than 15 pages. Do not include generic marketing materials. Capability statements must directly address the Day-1 technical constraints detailed above.

Respondents must include: Company Profile: Name, address, DUNS number, CAGE code, point of contact, and business size/socio-economic status under NAICS 541511.
