About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is conducting market research for the Foundational Logistics Information Technology Enterprise Systems (FLITES), a web-based software application designed to manage complex item cataloging and provisioning requirements for the Air Force logistics enterprise. This Request for Information (RFI) seeks vendor interest in developing and supporting a system that will provide comprehensive, accurate item data to enable dependent logistics processes and initiatives. The RFI requires vendors to demonstrate technical capabilities in areas such as software licensing, cloud environment integration, Agile development, DevSecOps implementation, and help desk support. Interested parties must carefully review all attachments and submit responses that address technical capabilities, functional experience, schedule management, business process reengineering, and system integration. Responses are due by January 3, 2025, and will be used by the Air Force to develop its acquisition strategy, Statement of Objectives, and Performance Work Statement.
This pre-solicitation notice is open to both large and small businesses under NAICS code 541511 with a $34 million size standard, and currently has no specific set-aside designation. The anticipated period of performance is 5 years, with the government reserving the right to contact submitting parties for further clarification. While no specific award value is currently disclosed, the project will require contractors to provide One Network software licenses, make modifications to core products, and support a Cloud One environment. Security requirements are strict, with all personnel needing appropriate security clearances and CAC cards, and no foreign nationals permitted to participate in the project. The government emphasizes that this RFI is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or guarantee of contract award, and no funds have been officially authorized or appropriated for the effort at this time.

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. REQUESTS FOR A SOLICITATION WILL NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE.
The Enterprise Logistics Readiness Portfolio (AFLCMC/GBS), under the Business and Enterprise Systems (BES) Directorate, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB), Ohio is conducting market research seeking vendor interest for future development of the FLITES system.
This RFI is for planning purposes only and shall not be considered as an invitation for bid, request for quotation, request for proposal (RFP), or as an obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any products or services. Your response to this RFI will be treated as information only. No entitlement to payment of direct or indirect costs or charges by the Government will arise as a result of contractor submission of responses to this announcement or the Government use of such information. This request does not constitute a solicitation for proposals or the authority to enter into negotiations to award a contract. No funds have been authorized, appropriated, or received for this effort.
The information provided is considered market research and may be used by the Air Force in developing its acquisition strategy, Statement of Objectives (SOO) or Performance Work Statement (PWS), and performance specifications.

The Government reserves the right to contact the submitting parties, on an as-required basis, for further clarification on material provided.

FLITES is a Government developed, web-based, software application providing a foundational baseline to satisfy complex item cataloging and provisioning requirements and position the Air Force to generate and manage comprehensive, accurate and reliable item specific data within the USAF logistics enterprise. It will provide enterprise users with the breadth and depth of accurate item data necessary to support and enable dependent processes, initiatives, programs and transformational concepts. The integration and implementation of existing Air Force Item Management Systems capability builds upon the current FLITES baseline and will provide a holistic solution for integrated item management.
