USAFE-AFAFRICA Agile Acquisition Framework Request For Information

Note the response date is 25 July 2024. Future industry day is anticipated to be held September 2024.

The objective of this RFI is to address the acquisition framework to support the procurement of USAFE-AFAFRICA (U-A) hardware and software with an emphasis on integration of the resulting materiel into the existing and future U-A communications backbone. The backbone encapsulates the core components of the U-A communications infrastructure to include the high-capacity network segments that provide the primary paths for data traffic across different parts of the U-A network. To meet this requirement U-A is requesting industry feedback on the acquisition considerations that will shape the contracting strategies for anticipated contracts under this acquisition framework. The acquisition framework is envisioned to include a Multiple-Award, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) and Task Orders (TOs) to provide technology refreshes and system modernization solutions within the primary users’ areas of responsibility including the acquisition, integration, and product support services of theater deployable communications, base information technology (IT) infrastructure, and cloud services.  Contractors will implement technology refreshes of main operating bases (MOBs) and existing Geographically Separated Units (GSUs), establish an enduring infrastructure and systems for new GSUs, design and implement a U-A distributed and resilient enterprise hybrid cloud capabilities supporting Agile Combat Employment (ACE), and develop synthetic distributed and hosted modeling and simulation training environments and systems.
