Air Operations Planning & Command and Control (C2) Support

The contract seeks to procure Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to provide real-time air operations planning, tactical command and control portrayal, and coordination of simulated air missions specifically in support of NATO training exercises. These experts are expected to deliver high-level operational insight and technical proficiency to ensure training scenarios accurately reflect real-world air combat and joint force coordination requirements. The role involves direct engagement in dynamic, time-sensitive environments where precision and situational awareness are critical to the integrity of the exercise outcomes. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541330, indicating professional, scientific, and technical services related to management and technical consulting. It is issued by the Bureau of Industry and Security within the Department of Commerce, though the place of performance and point of contact details are unspecified. Proposals are due by June 15, 2026, and while no set-aside provisions are indicated, interested parties must be prepared to meet the demanding standards required for NATO-aligned operational support. The absence of location data suggests that work may be performed domestically or internationally as needed to align with exercise schedules and NATO partner requirements.
