About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hanscom Air Force Base has issued a Special Notice announcing the cancellation of the Kessel Run PRIME acquisition program. Originally known as "ASCEND" and recently rebranded as "PRIME" (Platform, Resources, Infrastructure, Management, and Engineering), this initiative will no longer proceed with continued development. The notice was posted on December 9, 2025, and applies to the Custom Computer Programming Services sector, as classified under NAICS code 541511. No set-aside provisions are associated with this notice. This cancellation announcement represents a significant change in the Air Force's strategic direction regarding this particular acquisition effort.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to formally communicate to the contracting community that the PRIME acquisition program has been officially terminated and will not move forward. No specific deadlines, requirements, or instructions for contractors are applicable, as the program is no longer active and therefore does not solicit contractor participation or proposals. There are no eligibility criteria to consider since the acquisition has been cancelled and no opportunities exist for contractors to engage with this initiative. The cancellation affects work previously contemplated in the IT and Telecom Platform Support Services category, specifically related to database, mainframe, and middleware labor support services. Contractors and firms previously interested in or monitoring this acquisition should note that no future solicitations or contract awards are anticipated under the PRIME program designation.
Notice text
