FA830726RB013 - Hashi-Corp RFI

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center Joint Base San Antonio (AFLCMC) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking market research on software solutions for Platform One (P1), specifically for creating and maintaining software threat models and secure compliant code within a DevSecOps environment. The procurement focuses on identifying both HashiCorp license options and alternative solutions that provide protected secret storage, strong encryption key management, and support for zero-trust security architecture across cloud environments. Vendors interested in responding must complete all tabs of the provided RFI_HashiCorp_FY26_v2 Excel template, which requires comprehensive details on software capabilities, including centralized key management, user access control, self-hosted deployment options, open-source availability, and secure remote access functionality. The government emphasizes that this RFI is solely for market research and planning purposes, not a formal solicitation for award; responses will be evaluated based on vendors' ability to address the specified technical requirements and provide detailed information on their offerings. The deadline for submitting responses is January 9, 2026, and all responses must be submitted using the attached Excel template to the points of contact listed in the opportunity.

This RFI is not utilizing any set-aside designations, and no incumbent contractor or current award value has been identified in the notice. Vendors are expected to provide information on various licensing types including enterprise, cloud-managed, and open-source options, along with associated pricing plans and transition costs. The government has indicated interest in contracting on a base year contract with up to four one-year options, suggesting a potential five-year relationship structure, though specific budget ranges or award values are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. Training options and vendor willingness to commit to the proposed contract structure are also factors vendors should address in their responses. This NAICS classification 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and PSC code 7A21 (IT and Telecom – Business Application Software Perpetual License Software) indicate the procurement's focus on software licensing and related IT services.
