Summary of Key Details:
The U.S. Air Force Materiel Command Nuclear Weapons Center is conducting market research for the procurement of Next Generation Countermeasures to be deployed on the Sentinel (GBSD) weapon system. This Request for Information (RFI) seeks information and feedback from industry partners on the development of advanced countermeasures with enhanced capabilities such as improved accuracy, lethality, and survivability. The RFI is classified Secret/Collateral, and interested parties must contact the provided points of contact to obtain a copy and submit responses by April 26, 2023. The government will also host one-on-one meetings the week of May 8, 2023 for companies to discuss the acquisition and provide capability briefings.
This RFI is not a solicitation and does not commit the government to a contract. There is no set-aside designation, and the acquisition strategy, contract strategy, and number of awards are yet to be determined. The government is seeking to understand the industrial base capabilities to aid in determining the viability of the Next Generation Countermeasures effort, but no specific budget or quantity details have been provided.
