Description

The Department of the Air Force Chief Data & Artificial Intelligence Officer is conducting market research to gauge industry capability for Data & AI Mission Expert Services under an IDIQ vehicle. The effort is purely informational (RFI) and does not constitute a solicitation for proposals; no funding is guaranteed and respondents will not be paid for their responses. The work would cover a broad set of high‑skill tasks including data acquisition pipelines, AI/ML model development, MLOps implementation, data‑governance frameworks, and cloud‑agnostic environment design, all requiring clearances up to TS/SCI. Interested firms must submit a capability statement addressing approach, past performance, and timeline, limited to 15 pages, and include company CAGE, UEI, and size‑standard. • Scope includes data engineering, advanced AI/ML, governance, and DevSecOps across classified networks. • Requires senior‑level SMEs with TS/SCI clearance and ability to maintain ≤ 10 % turnover. • Submission is an RFI; deadline for response is 2 Nov 2026, and no contract award date or dollar value is disclosed.

Budget estimate

$5,000,000 – $15,000,000

No dollar amount is disclosed. Based on typical IDIQ vehicles for high‑skill data and AI services within the Department of Defense, annual ceilings often range from a few million to low‑double‑digit millions. Assuming multiple task orders over a 3‑5 year period, the total potential earnings could be roughly $5 million to $15 million. Factors influencing the range include the number and size of task orders, the level of cleared‑personnel staffing, and the complexity of AI/ML solutions required.
