The U.S. Air Force has released a request for proposals as part of the on-ramp process for a potential $900 million multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract to develop systems and related platforms for the warfighter while introducing high confidence programs.
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s architecture and integration directorate, also known as AFLCMC/XA, works with industry to identify gaps, missions, technologies and requirements through modeling, simulation and analysis, technical risk reduction and test engineering, software development and curation and capability development and development planning, among other areas, according to a solicitation notice published Wednesday.
The requirements for the AFLCMC/XA IDIQ contract are classified into three categories: development planning, systems development and synthetic environment development, according to the statement of work.
The vendor should plan and come up with design for new, existing or modified hardware and software and support cybersecurity and all design activities, support technical assessments and airworthiness tasks and provide data models, technical documentation and engineering tools as stated in individual orders.
“The work is not envisioned for singular use, rather an enabler for multi-domain, multi-level security development, analysis, and synthetic environments,” the solicitation reads.
Proposals for the on-ramp IDIQ contract are due April 10.
