DISCLAIMER:

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes – it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This request for information does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Further, the Government is not seeking proposals at this time and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Vendors are advised that the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party’s expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP that may be issued.

SUBJECT:

The Stand in Attack Weapon (SiAW) Program Office (PO) is responsible for Air Force acquisition of next generation munitions built to rapidly strike mobile targets within an enemy’s anti-access/area denial environment. The purpose of this RFI is to create a mechanism to support flexible and efficient acquisition of goods and services for AFLCMC/EBIS. This is intended to provide the ability for further development and enhancement of the mature SiAW program.

DESCRIPTION:

The Government is seeking support to continue development of the AARGM-ER and SiAW. The SiAW program is currently executing a Middle Tier Acquisition (MTA) Rapid Prototyping phase. The MTA will conclude with a production decision and potential future development for additional capabilities. This IDIQ will support these future opportunities through engineering changes to the SiAW baseline configuration (in accordance with the attached SOO). The users of this IDIQ will include the SiAW Program Office, JPO and any others required for potential changes that may address, but are not limited to the following areas:

• Obsolescence


• System Security and Resiliency (to include Cybersecurity and Cyber resiliency)


• Upgrades and Enhancements


• Product Improvements


• Producibility and Affordability


• Other changes as necessary to meet existing or new/emerging requirements

The security classification level for this effort is TOP SECRET/SECRET/SAR.

INTEREST:

Successful responses must demonstrate the ability to provide subject matter expert support, preferably with past experience and familiarity with SiAW and AARGAM-ER, as outlined in the attached SOO. If the vendor does not have subject matter experience expertise or needed familiarity, the Government would like a rough schedule on how long it would take to stand up this capability.

The IDIQ SOO is CUI and is available by request.

Attachment 4 is available at request; the USG will provide the files but will not provide support/software to view/access files (specific software requirements are in the attached SOO).

Attachment 5 is available if requested via one of the systems outlined in the Draft SCG (attach 2) blk 10k. Send an unclassified request to Ms. Jill Harms at jill.harms.1@us.af.mil or Ms. Kenya Jackson at kenya.jackson.3@us.af.mil for assistance with coordination, including which system to be utilized.

Potential offerors need to request a DODSAFE drop from Ms. Jill Harms at jill.harms.1@us.af.mil or Ms. Kenya Jackson at kenya.jackson.3@us.af.mil to receive these attachments.

For questions, contact Jill Harms at jill.harms.1@us.af.mil or Kenya Jackson at kenya.jackson.3@us.af.mil.
