About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command is seeking a comprehensive data backup storage and recovery solution for Columbus Air Force Base through this solicitation posted August 28, 2025, with responses due September 12, 2025. The procurement requires a technical refresh of the existing network backup solution, including all personnel, equipment, installation, configuration management, labor, materials, documentation, and services to support the program. Key technical requirements include a multi-vendor backup solution with multi-factor authentication/CAC integration, capability for various backup types (full, incremental, archiving, snapshots), support for both Windows and Linux devices, two geographically separate hardware devices managed via a single web console, mandatory encryption of data in flight and at rest, immutable storage preventing data modification, and a minimum 80TB raw storage capacity that is scalable. The government will evaluate offers using a two-factor approach where technical capability is assessed on an acceptable/unacceptable basis, and among technically acceptable offers, the contract will be awarded to the lowest evaluated price offeror. Questions and answers have been posted, with the due date extended due to document accessibility issues.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation and no incumbent contractors are identified in the available documentation. While specific contract values are not disclosed, the scope encompasses significant technical requirements including DISA STIG compliance, zero trust capabilities, cloud backup future-proofing, and turnkey implementation with administrator training. The contractor must complete installation and implementation within 30 days of contract award, delivering comprehensive documentation including installation records, work schedules, status reports, and test plans. Performance will occur at Columbus Air Force Base in Columbus, Mississippi, specifically at NCC Building 932, with the contractor required to comply with extensive security protocols including background checks and industrial security requirements. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 518210 for Computing Infrastructure Providers and includes detailed wage determinations for Mississippi service contract workers.
