Automated Project Order Follow-on

The United States Air Force (AFMC/AFLCMC) is conducting market research via an RFI to identify commercial vendors capable of providing end‑to‑end sustainment, operations, and integration support for the Automated Project Order (APO) system, a legacy mainframe‑based application that manages depot repair funding and workflow. The effort will be performed primarily at Wright‑Patterson AFB, Ohio, with possible work at Maxwell AFB, Alabama, or via telework. The contract is expected to be a Firm‑Fixed‑Price award with a base period of one year, two one‑year options, and a six‑month extension (total up to 3.5 years), anticipated to start no later than August 2027.
