84 Radar Evaluation Squadron (RADES) Support

Air Combat Command intends to solicit a combined support services contract for the 84 Radar Evaluation Squadron (RADES) at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, with an RFI response deadline of October 27, 2026, and anticipated contract award on February 1, 2027. No set-aside is anticipated; however, the Government is actively evaluating whether to set aside this acquisition as a total small business contract and explicitly encourages small business participation.

Work is performed at 7976 Aspen Ave, Building 1283, Hill AFB, Utah. All contractor personnel must hold minimum Secret clearances; specific positions require TS/SCI or TS/SAP eligibility. Contractors must be U.S. citizens.

The contract requires comprehensive support across six service areas: software sustainment (13,720 man-hours annually) for mission-critical radar applications including RS4, DRAMS, RSDB Suite, RDR, and Data Repository; radar technical advisor/technician services (5,880 man-hours); IT and cybersecurity support (approximately 31,360 man-hours) encompassing network administration, systems administration, and client systems support; environmental engineer services including GIS and survey technician support; radar engineer services; and travel coordination services (1,960 man-hours). Software sustainment requires staffing by one Senior Systems Engineer, four Senior Software Engineers, and two Mid-level Software Engineers. IT support requires network administration certifications (CCNA or Network+) and Security+ qualifications. Radar technical advisor services require TS/SAP clearance eligibility.

Performance commences May 1, 2027, through April 30, 2028 (base period), with four optional one-year renewal periods. Billing is cost-reimbursable with monthly invoicing.
