Request for Information - AI/LLM/ML Service Acquisition & Program Management Integration

The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command (ACC) is seeking innovative 8(a) contractors with advanced AI, Large Language Model (LLM), and Machine Learning (ML) solutions to enhance service acquisition and program management processes. The Request for Information (RFI) aims to gather industry insights for developing a potential Performance Work Statement focusing on key technological capabilities such as task automation, data analysis, communication improvement, requirements management, and resource allocation optimization. Interested 8(a) contractors must submit detailed responses via email to viviana.castillo_ramirez@us.af.mil and camilla.funk@us.af.mil by June 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST. Response submissions are limited to 4 pages, using 12" font and 1" margins, and should comprehensively outline the company's experience, previous AI/LLM/ML project examples, proposed integration approaches, and relevant technological capabilities. The place of performance will be located in Hampton, VA, with travel expenses reimbursed according to standard government regulations.

This competitive 8(a) pre-solicitation notice represents an information-gathering initiative that does not constitute a formal Request for Proposal or commit the government to contract for services. Respondents should be prepared to provide detailed company information, demonstrating expertise in AI, LLM, and ML technologies with a specific focus on streamlining acquisition and program management processes. While no specific award value or budget range is currently disclosed, the RFI suggests a comprehensive and potentially significant technological integration project. The opportunity is specifically targeted at 8(a) program small businesses, indicating a strategic approach to supporting minority-owned or disadvantaged business enterprises in advanced technological service delivery. Contractors should note that this RFI is purely exploratory, designed to help the Air Combat Command refine its understanding of potential technological solutions before potentially issuing a formal solicitation.
