About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Headquarters is seeking a commercially-available enterprise license subscription for a Publicly Available Information (PAI) Alerting Service under solicitation number FA701426R0008. The solution must leverage various publicly available information sources to detect emerging events and deliver near real-time alerts to users across multiple platforms including email, API, web-based applications, and mobile devices. The procurement follows Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 5.101 procedures and is classified under NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and PSC 7A21 (IT and Telecom – Business Application Software). The Government intends to evaluate proposals using FAR 15 Source Selection procedures, with evaluation criteria focused on offeror affordability, technical solution quality, and price. An RFP is expected to be released within 2-3 weeks from the March 26, 2026 update, requiring interested parties to submit a written proposal, deliver a live area/topic-specific demonstration, and present a live in-person product demonstration. Point of contact for inquiries is Contracting Officer Captain Richard Snyder (richard.snyder.12@us.af.mil) or Contract Specialist Mr. Kevin Harrington (kevin.harrington.3@us.af.mil).
This acquisition is being competed under full and open competition with no set-aside designations applied. No incumbent contractor or current contract holder is identified in the presolicitation notice, as this represents a new enterprise capability requirement for the Department of War. The notice does not specify an award value or budget range for the contract. The solution must be scalable to support Department of War enterprise-level operations and must remain current with commercial industry developments and standards. As of April 3, 2026, there are no restrictions on foreign-owned vendors competing for this opportunity, following removal of a foreign participation restriction that was announced on March 30, 2026 but rescinded on April 3, 2026. All responsible sources are invited to submit proposals for consideration by the agency.
