Kessel Run PRIME RFI

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Hanscom Air Force Base is seeking Request for Information (RFI) responses regarding the Kessel Run PRIME (Platform, Resources, Infrastructure, Management, Engineering) contract to procure comprehensive IT services and mission-critical warfighting application support. The procurement focuses on three primary service areas: Application Platform capabilities, Infrastructure services, and End User Services, with the objective of developing operationally available and mission-capable applications that function 24/7/365 in highly contested environments. Qualified respondents must demonstrate expertise in CI/CD capabilities, virtualized storage and compute, Zero Trust networking, cybersecurity, ServiceNow workflow development, and IT service management across multiple security classifications (NIPR, SIPR, JWICS). Evaluation will be based on respondents' technical capability assessments, requirement clarity feedback, identification of potential conflicts or gaps, and demonstrated comparable contract experience from the past three years; respondents are explicitly prohibited from submitting solution proposals, pricing information, binding commitments, demonstrations, or marketing materials. The RFI response deadline is November 14, 2025, and responses must be submitted to Captain Kevin Rivera using the provided Excel response template and requirements documents.

This RFI is not a set-aside opportunity and does not designate any incumbent contractors. The solicitation targets companies classified under NAICS codes 541511 or 541512 (Custom Computer Programming Services), with a small business size standard of $34 million, and requires current GWAC or Multiple Award Contract holdings and verified accounting system audits. The government intends to award multiple outcome-based contracts for specific platform aspects rather than a single overarching integrator contract, indicating a modular procurement strategy aligned with agile acquisition principles. No specific award value or budget range is provided in the RFI documentation, as the primary objective is to collaboratively refine and validate requirements with industry partners before issuing formal solicitations. The RFI represents the government's commitment to maintaining pace with evolving technological and threat environments through industry collaboration on technical requirements, business capabilities, and potential concerns prior to formal contract competition.
