AFNWC ICBM Systems Directorate: Request for Information

THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. REQUESTS FOR SOLICITATION WILL

NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) (or solicitation) or an indication that a contractual commitment will exist for this requirement. The Government will not fund the information solicited. The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) located at Hill Air Force Base is requesting information, pursuant to FAR Part 10, in support of market research. The Government is not providing any other associated technical data as part of this RFI.

The Government appreciates the responses received during the initial Sources Sought (FA8207-25-R-SSS, Posted 7 Jan 2025). After reviewing all submissions, the ICBM Development, Operations, and Sustainment (IDOS) team is seeking additional information as outlined below.

The United States Air Force’s main purpose of this RFI is to determine whether a set of example requirements (attached) are specific enough for Contractors to develop proposals.

If not, what additional documentation or information is needed?

The attached draft requirements are specific to the Minuteman III System Program Office.

Other ICBM Systems Directorate requirements may be included in future solicitation(s). It should be noted that the information contained in the attached requirements document is subject to change prior to the release of any eventual solicitation(s).

The IDOS team is considering an Industry Day in late August at Hill Air Force Base, Utah.

More information will follow through the Sam.gov Contract Opportunities website.

The IDOS team is considering OASIS+ as a possible contract vehicle, although no determinations have been made regarding a specific acquisition strategy.

Responses to this RFI will be considered by the Government in making such decisions.

In response to this RFI, the Government requests interested parties respond to the following:

1. Can your organization submit a viable proposal based on the draft performance-based requirements document? (Yes / No / Conditional) Please include any recommendations that would improve clarity and your ability to propose.
