561 WPS FMS IT Support

The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is conducting a sources sought notice to identify vendors capable of providing Client Systems Administrator Specialist Support for the 561 Weapons Squadron Foreign Military Sales program at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. The primary objective is to furnish expert-level IT support for managing tactical manual production and technology systems supporting the Secretary of the Air Force International Affairs Foreign Military Sales tactics program operating at security levels up to TOP SECRET/SPECIAL/SAR and TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE COMPARTMENTED INFORMATION. Key qualifications include possession of a Secret security clearance, a minimum of two years of IT experience, Security+ certification within six months of contract award, and current Cyber Awareness training. The government will evaluate vendor responses based on demonstrated previous experience in similar IT support roles, with responses limited to two pages and submitted directly to SSgt Mayhew via email. The deadline for interested vendors to submit their capability statements is October 31, 2025; however, no formal Request for Quote has been scheduled due to ongoing government shutdown considerations.

This opportunity is not designated as a set-aside but the government is exploring potential small business set-aside options, specifically Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) considerations. No incumbent contractor has been identified for this requirement. The contract is structured as a Fixed-Price engagement with a base year of 12 months beginning November 4, 2025, and four optional one-year extensions through November 3, 2030, representing a potential five-year service period. The requirement mandates 40 hours per week of on-site support at Nellis Air Force Base. Pricing information submitted by vendors will be treated as non-binding and utilized solely for market research purposes to assess industry capability to fulfill this IT support requirement. The formal RFQ release timeline remains uncertain pending resolution of the current government shutdown.
