1.    Description.  This RFI is being issued by Air Combat Command (ACC) Acquisition Management and Integration Center (AMIC) as part of its Market Research to identify available sources and capabilities, and to receive industry input regarding the HPO requirement.  This RFI will help further define the HPO requirement and identify interested and capable sources that can provide HPO services.

The Government anticipates a Multiple Award IDIQ with a five-year ordering period and the option for an additional five-year ordering period. 

2.    Background.  The US Air Force has recognized that Human Weapons System Optimization is critical to maximizing mission readiness and combat effectiveness across the force.  The Air Force has assembled targeted Human Performance (HP) Programs, specifically designed to optimize physical and cognitive performance, decrease occupational injury rates, accelerate return to duty and ensure combat readiness across Aircrew and Warfighter communities.  

The purpose of this requirement is to provide HPO services including education and training services, management support services, program management, engineering and technical services, professional services, and administrative and other services.
