About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is seeking potential contractors for the Virtual Air Threats (VATS) Agile Delivery Order (VADOR) Bridge contract. The primary objective is to secure agile software development and integration services for the Virtual Air Threat System, with a focus on developing and updating threat models using National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC) Threat Modeling and Analysis Program (TMAP) models. Contractors must possess a Secret Facility Clearance and have extensive experience with classified development environments, with code development preferably in C++ and Visual Studio. The contract will require comprehensive capabilities including program management, operational and deployment support, cybersecurity, and technical support for Joint Simulation Environment (JSE) sites. Responses to this Request for Information (RFI) are due by 4:00 PM EST on 11 April 2025, with the understanding that participation does not guarantee future contract involvement.
The opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, with only United States companies eligible for consideration. The contract is structured as a bridge task order under the existing ID/IQ contract FA8604-18-D-4100, anticipating a 6-month base period with two additional 3-month option periods. The contract will utilize a mix of pricing mechanisms including Firm Fixed Price, Cost Reimbursable No Fee, and Cost Plus Fixed Fee Contract Line Items (CLINs). The current contract expires on 13 November 2025, with the bridge contract commencing on 14 November 2025 and intended to facilitate a fair opportunity competition under the upcoming Training Systems Acquisition (TSA) IV ID/IQ contract. Contractors will need to be prepared to work with security clearance levels ranging from Secret to Top Secret/SCI, demonstrating the sensitive and specialized nature of the required technical support and software development services.
