About this opportunity
Air Combat Command is issuing a pre-solicitation Request for Information for CNET LAB Reverse Engineering and Artificial Intelligence (REAI) support for Fiscal Year 2028, with responses due noon Eastern on November 15, 2026. No set-aside is used. Per the attached REAI FY28 document, the Joint Warfare Analysis Center (JWAC) seeks on-site support in Dahlgren, Virginia, where 100 percent on-site availability is required. Analysts must hold Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS//SCI) clearances.
Two technical competencies are sought. Software reverse engineering requires on-site analysts to examine source code, binaries, and firmware provided by JWAC to support threat network and Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP) development. Desired expertise includes x86/x86-64, ARM/AArch64, and MIPS/PowerPC architectures, operating system internals, cryptography and obfuscation analysis, and static analysis, dynamic analysis, instrumentation, and binary diffing tools. Artificial intelligence work spans the foundation model lifecycle, from pre-training at trillion-token scale through post-training alignment and production deployment. It includes distributed GPU training, high-throughput ingestion of packet capture archives and digital twin simulation outputs, hardware-software co-design, agentic AI, and machine learning security applications for cyber and PCAP analytics.
The attachment asks respondents to describe their experience ingesting proprietary cyber network data and their capability to continuously integrate updated AI training pipelines into operational systems. No contract value, quantity, or period of performance beyond FY28 is stated. The notice is coded NAICS 5417 and PSC AC11.
