About this opportunity
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC/HNCX) has issued a Request for Information regarding Platform One's Iron Bank Value Stream, focusing on cybersecurity enhancements within container infrastructure. This Special Notice, titled "Iron Bank Container Team," was published by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center Joint Base San Antonio on August 22, 2025. The RFI is classified under NAICS code 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and PSC category DA01 (IT And Telecom - Business Application/Application Development Support Services). The government explicitly states this is an information-gathering exercise only, with no commitment to issue future contracts or accept unsolicited proposals. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be borne solely by the interested parties.
The primary objective of this RFI is to gather industry input on creating and maintaining approximately 50 Iron Bank Core images at an enterprise licensing level, with specific cybersecurity requirements including FIPS 140-3 standards compliance and rapid response capabilities for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE). Interested vendors must submit a four-page white paper in Microsoft Word format by September 5, 2025, at 1:00 PM EST to Lisa Hartman via email. The submission requirements include administrative information such as contact details, recommended contracting strategy, business classification (with emphasis on small business types), and facility security clearance status. Key technical requirements involve a 60-day validation period for Big Bang instance deployment and CVE response timelines ranging from 5 days for critical vulnerabilities to 60 days for low-severity issues. The government reserves the right to use non-government advisors for review purposes and may conduct follow-up discussions with selected vendors, though all submissions become government property upon receipt.
