The Global Command & Control System - Air Force Infrastructure (GCCS-AF(I)) is a Major Automated Information System (MAIS) program under the Department of Defense's Major Capability Acquisition (MCA) pathway. This defense program provides critical command and control infrastructure capabilities for the U.S. Air Force. As an Acquisition Category IAC program, GCCS-AF(I) represents a significant investment in maintaining and upgrading Air Force command and control systems infrastructure.

The contract awards associated with this program range from small repair orders of a few thousand dollars to major system upgrades exceeding $17 million, with performance periods typically spanning 6 months to 2 years. Notable deliverables include VMWARE software licenses, Oracle hardware maintenance, secure switch installations, and depot logistics support. While most contracts are firm-fixed-price delivery orders, some critical development work is performed under cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangements. Primary contractors include New TECH Solutions and Raytheon Company, with work performed at various military installations including Norfolk VA, Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, and multiple overseas locations. The program predominantly utilizes no set-aside designations, with funding flowing through the Electronic Systems Center (ESC) and various military commands.
