Request for Information (RFI) for Enterprise Resource Manager (ERM)

The Department of the Air Force, specifically the Space Systems Command (SSC) BC3 Tactical Office, is seeking industry input through a Request for Information (RFI) for an advanced Enterprise Resource Manager (ERM) system designed to manage satellite communications scheduling and ground resources. The RFI aims to identify capabilities for managing ground networks across diverse security classification levels, supporting operations in multiple orbital regimes including Cislunar and Lagrange points. Key technical requirements include comprehensive scheduling capabilities from individual satellite to constellation levels, automated machine-machine interfaces, orbital analysis, dynamic rolling window scheduling, and priority-based operational overrides. The government is particularly interested in responses that demonstrate standardized interfaces, cross-domain solutions, cloud-based designs, cyber-resiliency, and artificial intelligence/machine learning integration. Responses are due by June 2, 2025, and must be limited to 10 single-sided pages, to be submitted electronically to Major Ikaika K. Ramos.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designations for this contract opportunity, suggesting it will be open to a broad range of potential contractors. While no incumbent contractors or specific award values are mentioned, the complexity of the ERM system suggests a potentially significant investment in satellite communications resource management technology. The RFI solicits input from both traditional and non-traditional defense contractors, indicating an openness to innovative approaches from diverse technology providers. The system's requirements suggest a sophisticated solution capable of managing complex satellite communication scenarios, including multi-contact uplink/downlink operations, radio frequency interference deconfliction, and dynamic space operations support. The 30-day response window and detailed technical requirements signal the government's serious intent to develop a robust, cutting-edge enterprise resource management system for advanced satellite communications infrastructure.
