About this opportunity

The United States Air Forces in Europe - Air Forces Africa is conducting market research through a sources sought notice regarding potential upgrade of D-21 Windows 11 Alarm Reporting Software at Aviano Air Base, Italy, with responses due by September 4, 2026. This is not a solicitation but rather a sources sought vehicle for information-gathering purposes only; a firm fixed price contract may follow based on market feedback.

The work involves upgrading existing Monaco Enterprises D-21 CPU equipment to Windows 11 RMF-ready software, performing equipment relocation and troubleshooting, and installing multiple CPUs at two locations: Fire Station 1 ECC/Supervisors Office (Building 1434) requires five CPUs with associated monitors and KVM extenders, and the Alt ECC Building 1140 requires three CPUs with similar peripherals. The contractor must troubleshoot a non-functional bay door module, provide and install D-21 V2 software with database corruption reduction and continuous system uptime capabilities, transfer existing software licenses, provide new software dongles, decommission old equipment, and deliver up to four hours of onsite operator training. The upgrade shall support encrypted radio for the RID7000 to enable RFM-X in encrypted mode.

The Air Force seeks feedback on whether any stated technical requirements are unnecessarily restrictive, suggestions for alternative approaches, and information on vendor past performance with similar-scope projects. Interested parties must submit responses limited to ten pages (excluding marketing materials and technical data sheets), including a capability statement addressing the Statement of Work, past performance descriptions with contract amounts, answers to the Air Force's capability questions, and a point of contact with authority to clarify responses.
