About this opportunity
Edwards Air Force Base is hosting a virtual-only Industry Day on 17–18 September 2026 to identify capable partners for the Small Business Cybersecure Enclave Pilot, a Department of the Air Force initiative to develop affordable secure platforms enabling small business defense contractors to handle Controlled Unclassified Information on DAF-managed networks. This is a total small business set-aside. The purpose of the Industry Day is market research only; no contract obligation or Government cost reimbursement exists.
Vendors must register by 1700 Pacific Time on 27 August 2026 by emailing Contracting Officers Tylan McBride, 1st Lt Austen Siegler, and 2d Lt Karina Alvarez, providing company name, attendee details, CAGE Code, UEI, business size/socioeconomic status, and preferred briefing times. The Government will assign 25-minute demonstration slots across September 17–18, accommodating vendor preferences when possible. Vendor briefings are limited to 15 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for Government questions; all content must align with the attached Statement of Objectives.
The pilot addresses the inability of over 80 percent of DAF small business contractors with fewer than 20 employees to sustainably implement NIST SP 800-171 compliance without $150,000+ annual cybersecurity costs. The solution must achieve Authority to Operate and Approval to Connect status under the DAF Risk Management Framework, comply with NIST SP 800-53 controls, and support 15–25 small business contractors during field testing with demonstrated capacity to scale to 500 systems annually. Deliverables include scalable architecture, Life-cycle Support Plan, Service Provider Plan (Managed Service Provider and Managed Security Service Provider with next business day support), field testing across up to 25 small business programs, Lessons Learned report, and manufacturing and scale-up plan. The base period is 12 months with two optional 6-month periods. Evaluation weights Technical Approach and Security Compliance at 40 percent, Usability/Operations/Sustainment at 25 percent, Business/Scaling/Transition Plan at 20 percent, and Cost/Price Realism at 15 percent. Anticipated NAICS 541512 and PSC DA01. Written questions must be submitted by 1700 Pacific Time on 20 August 2026; responses are anonymized and published as amendments.
