About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force's Business and Enterprise Systems (BES) directorate at AFLCMC Maxwell AFB anticipates awarding commercial IT and business solutions through Commercial Solutions Opening FA8771-26-S-C0001, with Call 0002 (eFOIA) questions due November 16, 2026. No responses are accepted under this CSO until a call posts. The notice's set-aside line reads "No Set-Aside Used," and the Q&A states that future calls will identify their own set-aside requirements. Call 0002 and a November 5, 2026 Q&A were added after the October 29, 2026 update.
Call 0001, the BES Marketplace, accepts white papers monthly through October 31, 2029, due by 12:00 Noon Central Time on the last day of each month. White papers are limited to five pages, and no rough-order-of-magnitude price is required. Eligible NAICS codes are 513210, 541511, 541512, 541513, and 541519. "Selectable" white papers are kept indefinitely, but selection is not a contract award, and the Q&A describes the marketplace as internal to BES. "Not-Selectable" submissions may be revised and resubmitted in any later monthly collection.
Call 0002 is a closed eFOIA end-to-end system procurement. Phase 1 solution briefs, limited to two single-sided pages or five slides plus a one-page rough-order-of-magnitude estimate, are due November 30, 2026. Phase 2 demonstrations and Phase 3 proposals are by invitation only. The target award is April 2027, with a 60-month period (one base year plus four option years) funded by O&M funds (3400), and one award is anticipated. Requirements include deployment in DoD Impact Level 5 Cloud One with FedRAMP High or DISA Provisional Authorization, or an architectural compliance plan for ATO. The offeror and all subcontractors must not be foreign-owned and must meet FOCI requirements, and the solution must include a CycloneDX SBOM, a Recovery Point Objective under 1 hour, and a Recovery Time Objective under 4 hours. Offerors unable to obtain necessary security clearances may be ineligible depending on proposal requirements.
Questions on the CSO and Call 0001 go to AFLCMC.GBK._CSO@us.af.mil. Named contracting contacts are Captain Gini Hicks, Mary Beth Jackson, and Ebony Stewart. Call 0002 Phase 1 questions go to the Contracting Officer and Technical Leads via the PIEE Solicitation Module.
