About this opportunity
Air Combat Command is conducting market research on a commercial cloud-based weather intelligence service with API and platform access, with capability statement responses due May 13, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST. This is a sources sought notice for information purposes only; it does not commit the Government to contract and does not preclude participation in any future RFP if issued.
The required solution must deliver AI-native global probabilistic atmospheric prediction and regional ensemble modeling, custom vector events for seamless data ingest into specified Government systems, automated threshold-driven environmental alerting, and mission- and asset-based environmental assessments tailored for designated overseas Areas of Responsibility. Associated technical support is required.
Interested vendors must submit a brief capability statement demonstrating ability to meet all requirements and including company name, CAGE Code, UEI Number, point of contact details, business size and socio-economic status under NAICS 513210 (Software Publishers), and a technical description of how the platform meets the forecasting, integration, and AOR assessment requirements.
This is a new requirement with no incumbent contractor. The Government anticipates releasing a formal solicitation within one to two weeks pending funding availability, though the timeline remains subject to change at the Government's discretion. The sources sought notice was updated May 8, 2026 to shorten the response deadline from the original posted date of May 1, 2026.
