About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force, Lifecycle Management Center at Maxwell Air Force Base (AFLCMC Maxwell AFB), anticipates buying commercial software, hardware, and services through Call 0001 of its Business and Enterprise Systems (BES) Commercial Solutions Opening, with white papers due by 12:00 Noon Central on the last day of each calendar month through October 31, 2029. The notice's Set Aside line reads "No Set-Aside Used," and the Call invites all business sizes and both traditional and non-traditional suppliers. The October 29, 2026 update opened Call 0001 for submissions, superseding the original statement that no responses would be accepted until a call was posted.
Eligible NAICS codes are 513210, 541511, 541512, 541513, and 541519, with PSC DA01. Call 0001 covers 15 focus areas, including software development, artificial intelligence and machine learning, cybersecurity and zero trust architecture, cloud and platform-as-a-service, and database modernization. White papers are limited to five pages (single-spaced, 12-point font) plus a title page listing the SAM.gov entity name, Unique Entity ID, business size classification, SBA certifications, and traditional or non-traditional status. Submissions go by email to AFLCMC.GBK._CSO@us.af.mil. Technical Merit, Relevancy to Focus Area, and Demonstrated Experience carry equal weight, and white papers must receive "Selectable" on all three.
Awards may be FAR-based contracts or Other Transaction Agreements under 10 U.S.C. 2371b, subject to funds availability and successful negotiation. Selection does not constitute a contract award. Selectable white papers remain in the marketplace indefinitely, and technically acceptable submissions not selected for initial award may enter a vendor pool for up to one year. FAR-based offerors must maintain active SAM.gov registration. Security clearances depend on the specific Call, and offerors unable to obtain necessary clearances face ineligibility depending on proposal requirements.
