RFI: CNS/ATM Recompete

The Air Force C3BM/C3M CNS/ATM program office is gathering market information for the development, testing, integration, certification, and sustainment of a suite of CNS/ATM tools used on U.S. and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) platforms. The effort will cover design, developmental testing, operational support, and ongoing aeronautical data services to meet mission needs. The government plans to award a single‑award, professional non‑personal services contract, likely on a Time‑and‑Materials basis, and may consider a commercial SaaS solution but expects a government‑developed software baseline. The solicitation will be released as a draft in Dec 2026/Jan 2027 with a final award expected after the incumbent contract ends on 3 May 2027. A six‑month transition period is anticipated. Vendors must submit an NDA before receiving any Controlled Unclassified Information. • Scope: design, development, testing, integration, certification, and sustainment of CNS/ATM tool suite. • Platforms: U.S. Air Force aircraft and FMS customers (separate CLINs). • Contract type: professional non‑personal services, likely T&M. • Award: single‑award, with possible SaaS or labor‑rate pricing options. • Timeline: draft RFP/RFQ Dec 2026–Jan 2027; final award after 3 May 2027. • Transition: 6‑month period from incumbent to new contractor. • Requirements: NDA, ability to handle CUI, provide continuous aeronautical data support.
