A10 Strategic Plans and Policy Support Services - FY26

The Department of the Air Force Headquarters District Washington is seeking Strategic Plans and Policy Support Services (SPPSS) for Fiscal Year 2026 through a Request for Information (RFI). This opportunity focuses on providing comprehensive technical, analytical, and operational support across critical national security mission areas including international treaties, arms control, foreign clearance, countering weapons of mass destruction, nuclear enterprise management, missile defense, and strategic policy development. Contractors must demonstrate advanced subject matter expertise, with personnel expected to hold high-level security clearances and specialized knowledge in areas such as nuclear command and control, CBRN survivability, and emerging deterrence issues. Vendors are requested to submit 10-page capability statements by July 31, 2025, at 10:00am EST, using Microsoft Word format. The government will use these responses to gather industry insights and refine the potential future solicitation, with a particular interest in understanding small business and socio-economic participation capabilities.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for this contract, which will be categorized under NAICS code 541690 for Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services. While no specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive scope of required services suggests a significant and complex procurement effort. The contract will support the Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for Strategic Deterrence and Nuclear Integration (HQ AF/A10) and will involve support both within the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) locations. Potential contractors should be prepared to provide extensive capabilities in strategic deterrence policy, arms control treaty compliance, nuclear stockpile management, and intelligence analysis. The government emphasizes that this RFI is purely for information gathering and does not constitute a commitment to issue a future Request for Proposal, and all response costs will be borne by the participating vendors.
