The Air Force Contract Augmentation Program (AFCAP) supports the United States Enduring National Interests, National Security Interests and National Military Objectives as stated in the National Military Strategy and U.S. State Department Strategic Goal 2 by providing commanders and/or any U.S. Government agency a responsive, force multiplier option as the U.S. Government responds to global disorder. The AFCAP contract mechanism contains the capability to provide contingency planning; deploying; and training/equipping of forces; and emergency/contingency construction, logistics/commodities, and sustainment services. AFCAP is a contract with extensive worldwide support capabilities, able to respond in minimal time. The purpose of this contract is to draw on the resources and expertise from the private sector to provide a full range of Base Operating/Life Support (BOS/BLS) and logistical support on an ‘as required’ basis to support all programs. Requirements focus on emergency/contingency construction, logistics/commodities, and emergency and sustainment services to support the Air Force, any DOD component, or any U.S. Federal Government entity operating to: 1) deter, deny, and defeat state adversaries, 2) disrupt, degrade, and defeat Violent Extremist Organizations (VEOs), 3) strengthen our global network of allies, and 4) strengthen America’s foreign policy impact on our strategic challenges. Under the authority of the National Command Authority, joint or combined U.S. military forces, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), U.S. State Department or multinational forces utilizing U.S. Government appropriations, AFCAP participates in a wide spectrum of activities which include but are not limited to Major Theater War(s); Small Scale Contingencies; Irregular Warfare; VEOs; support in foreign assistance; support in developmental assistance; support in humanitarian assistance; support in security assistance which includes “Foreign Military Sales”; supporting peacekeeping; supporting counterdrug; supporting counterterrorism; supporting maritime security operations; supporting recovery operations; supporting denial measures; base operating/life support (BOS/BLS); domestic/international emergency support; infrastructure/facility design/construct/build/operate, demolition, site restoration; deliberate and crisis action planning; military exercises to include Joint Chiefs of Staff sponsored events; and providing/supporting activities defined in DOD Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms.

3. The Government is looking to continue to establish large business capability to support high dollar contingencies, natural disasters, and humanitarian assistance support.  The Government is also considering engagement with small businesses to support these same types of capabilities for CONUS-located smaller scale contingencies and backfill of deployed military personnel for base operating support.

4. The Government may host an Industry Day(s) if necessary to enhance understanding of the industry’s interest in the AFCAP VI program and assist in gathering market research. If conducted, the Industry Day may be virtual or in person.  If in person, attendees will be limited to three representatives per firm.  Details of the potential event will be forthcoming.
