About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) is seeking Software as a Service (SaaS) 3.0 solutions to modernize its legacy software applications supporting nuclear deterrence missions. The procurement aims to migrate existing software to a more scalable cloud-based architecture using Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) environments. Key contract objectives include reducing procurement timelines, decreasing program sustainment costs, increasing system reliability, and implementing continuous integration and delivery pipelines. The agency is currently conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to gather industry insights and will host a virtual Industry Day on March 19th, 2025, to provide additional details about the upcoming solicitation. Potential contractors must be prepared to manage software market research, develop software approval packages, procure and manage licenses, and support over 1,000 current users across multiple networks.

The contract is not designated with a specific set-aside and will be classified under NAICS category 541511 for Custom Computer Programming Services. The anticipated contract will support approximately 2,000 software applications within the next five years, with an initial base of 700 applications and 11,542 existing licenses. Three key personnel positions are required: Software Procurement Manager Lead, Software Procurement Manager, and Software License Manager, each expected to work 6,240 hours annually. The contract structure will include a base year with option years and use Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) for labor, data, other direct costs, and travel. Contractors must maintain Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) level security clearance and be capable of operating remotely using government-issued Common Access Cards (CAC). The due date for the RFI responses is March 17th, 2025, with an anticipated full Request for Proposal (RFP) to follow in the subsequent months.
