Request for Information (RFI): Intelligent Shift Scheduler Tool for 24/7 Continuous Operations

The Department of the Air Force is seeking information from industry regarding the rapid prototyping and deployment of an automated, intelligent shift scheduling tool for 24/7 continuous operations. The tool should ensure compliance with rest mandates, incorporate evidence-based principles for shift scheduling, optimize manning based on qualifications, and handle dynamic roster changes. The solution must be capable of operating within strict Air Force networking and security boundaries. The Government anticipates a phased approach, with Phase 1 being a pilot at a single installation, and is seeking information on the technical, cyber, and security requirements of the proposed solution. Some key features of the desired solution include: • Intelligent automation and fair scheduling engine • Automated rotation policies • Minimum manning and qualification tracking • Fatigue management and alerts • Duty limiting conditions • Dynamic leave, comp time, and issue resolution • Flexibility and manual overrides • Notifications and alerts The Government is looking for a solution that can be deployed quickly and can operate within the existing Air Force infrastructure.
