An integrated market analysis confirmed unavailability through AbilityOne, Federal Prison Industries, AFICC Launchpad, and other mandatory sources. The requirement includes a 12-month warranty and hands-on training for up to 8 members of the Logistics Readiness Squadron during acceptance. Interested parties may submit capability statements via email to artasia.howard@us.af.mil and jacob.sandy@us.af.mil; this is not a request for proposals and no solicitation document is available.
