Kessel Run - Marauder Request for Information (RFI)

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hanscom AFB seeks qualified industry partners through a Request for Information to transition the Marauder capability from government-led organic development to vendor execution, with RFI responses due June 9. This is market research only; no award will be made until appropriated funds become available, with projected award in June 2027.

Marauder is the Mission Report, Agile Combat Employment Report, and Tactical Combat Report tool serving over 2,000 active users across the Department of War, delivering post-mission intelligence within 24 hours of engine shutdown. The platform operates at Unclassified, Secret, and Top Secret classification levels using a microservices architecture built on JavaScript/TypeScript (frontend), Node.js Express, and Java Spring Boot (backend), deployed via a mature CI/CD pipeline on government-owned cloud infrastructure. There is no incumbent; the program was developed within Kessel Run over eight years with six years of continuous production.

Place of performance is Hanscom AFB, Massachusetts. Vendor personnel must hold Top Secret/SCI clearance. The scope encompasses full software development life cycle support including transition and knowledge transfer from the current Kessel Run team, continuous operations sustaining 20,000+ active users across all classification levels, modernization focused on advanced automation and data integration for in-garrison and low-bandwidth Agile Combat Employment environments, and user support and training. Critical outcomes include extreme automation to reduce manual data entry, seamless enterprise integration enabling real-time data sharing across AOC, targeting, and Intelligence Community enterprises via modern API endpoints across SIPR and AFSCI networks, and multi-level data sharing with adaptive dissemination controls. Development must occur on unclassified networks with production on Secret and Top Secret networks, within the mandated government-owned cloud platform, and transition must complete before late 2027. RFI responses are limited to two pages (excluding cover page) in PDF format. The Government is open to vendors of any size with relevant classified network and intelligence application experience. NAICS code is 541511, Custom Computer Programming Services; PSC code is DA01.
