DAF PAE C3BM Engagement Day

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center has published a Special Notice announcing the DAF PAE C3BM Engagement Day, scheduled for May 12, 2026, at 1 p.m. ET. This unclassified event is hosted by the Department of Air Force Portfolio Acquisition Executive for Command, Control, Communications and Battle Management (DAF PAE C3BM). The engagement day represents a quarterly outreach initiative designed to foster industry awareness and collaboration opportunities. The session will provide participants with insights into the DAF PAE C3BM mission and its critical role in command and control operations. A guest speaker from a partner service will discuss contributions to Joint All-Domain Command and Control. This is an informational opportunity rather than a traditional solicitation.

The primary objective of this engagement day is to educate industry stakeholders about the DAF PAE C3BM mission and identify potential pathways for future collaboration and engagement. Registration is open through May 6, 2026, and interested participants must complete the provided registration form; however, registration does not guarantee attendance. Confirmation emails with attendance details will be sent by May 8, 2026, and each attendee must register individually under their own name. There are no explicit eligibility restrictions stated, indicating that any interested contractor or industry representative may register to participate. The event agenda includes a C3BM welcome, mission overview, pathways to engagement, and a guest speaker presentation, offering valuable insights into Air Force command and control priorities and potential future contracting opportunities.
