About this opportunity

This pre-solicitation notice is for a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the U.S. Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hanscom Air Force Base. The RFI seeks information from industry on capabilities to support the Kessel Run (KR) All Domain Common Platform (ADCP) program, which provides software development resources and enterprise services for critical warfighting applications. The RFI requests details on the respondent's experience as a prime contractor supporting ACAT I weapon systems, including expertise in cloud services, Platform as a Service, Infrastructure as a Service, DevSecOps, and personnel with experience on specific DoD PaaS platforms. The Government is also interested in the respondent's ability to support a FAR Part 15 Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract, including past experience, capacity for concurrent task orders, and cost accounting practices. The Government intends to competitively award a single IDIQ contract through this acquisition strategy.

This RFI does not have a set-aside designation and does not mention any potential incumbents or current contractors. The RFI does not provide any information on potential award values or budget ranges, nor does it specify the quantity of goods or timeline for services. Responses to the RFI are due by August 23, 2024.

Notice text

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. It does not constitute a request for quote (RFQ) or request for proposal (RFP), or a promise to issue an RFQ or RFP in the future. The information provided in the RFI is subject to change and is not binding on the Government. The Air Force has not made a commitment to  procure any of the services discussed, and release of this RFI should not be construed as such a commitment or as authorization to incur cost for which reimbursement would be required or sought.

Respondents are advised that the U.S. Government is under no obligation to provide feedback with respect to any information submitted. Air Force representatives may or may not choose to meet with interested vendors. Such discussions would only be intended to get further clarification of potential technical capability to meet the requirements, especially any development and certification risks.

The Air Force seeks information on the capabilities of interested contractors in the technical and program management areas, described in the attachment, to facilitate Market Research and determine the best strategy to satisfy the requirements.

The Kessel Run (KR) All Domain Common Platform (ADCP) program delivers software developer resources and services that enable the development and continuous integration and delivery of software-intensive capabilities to Air Force (AF), Joint, and Coalition Command and Control (C2) end-users. The ADCP program also provides enterprise services to continuously test, secure, and deploy applications to staging and production environments across multiple classification levels.  The current primary ADCP user base is the Air and Space Operations Center (AOC) enterprise, and the program intent is to further scale to support the broader operational C2 community. 

Kessel Run (KR) has the responsibility of developing, fielding, and operating mission critical warfighting applications in support of the U.S. Air Force. These applications need to be operationally available and mission capable 24/7/365 in highly contested environments. Because of these high-level demands, KR must constantly evolve with the needs and requirements of the Warfighter. This agile approach extends to the services we contract from industry. Moreover, KR must adopt a mature acquisition strategy that provides for an agile procurement of services to maintain pace with a constantly changing threat environment.

Please see the attachment "ASCEND RFI 4" for details on the information requested in responses to this notice.
