No set-aside is used. The RFI does not commit the Government to solicit or award, but the anticipated contract carries a base year plus three option years. Sustainment covers RDS across 22 Air Operations Centers comprising the Theater Air Control System, with on-site training at 19 RDS locations including CONUS, Hawaii, and OCONUS sites at Ramstein AB, Germany and Osan AB, Korea. Required capabilities include engineering, installation, training, testing, and cybersecurity support, plus Tier 1 help desk coverage with an eight-hour standard response time, 24x7 coverage Monday through Friday 0800 to 1700 Eastern Time, and after-hours cell phone support. Cybersecurity work requires RMF Security Authorization Package and ATO support, IAVA updates, and ACAS scanning compatible with current Windows operating systems. Cybersecurity personnel must hold DoD 8570.01-M and DoD Directive 8140.01 certifications (including Security+) and possess a minimum US Secret security clearance. The contractor must maintain a Secret-level facility per NISPOM and manage classified vulnerabilities up to SECRET classification level. The contractor must also maintain 100 percent custodial accountability for Government and contractor-acquired property, with annual wall-to-wall inventory. Travel includes approximately six trips annually for one to two personnel for one to two weeks. Responses are white papers limited to 7 pages, emailed to Ethan Lenoir (ethan.lenoir.1@us.af.mil) and Leonardo Dominguez (leonardo.dominguez.1@us.af.mil). They must address company overview, GWAC vehicle participation, prior RDS or similar experience, and 16 specified questions, and include CAGE code, UEI, and business classification type. Classified responses are not accepted, and response costs are not reimbursed.
