Automated Classification Management Environment (ACME) RFI

The Department of Defense has issued a Request for Information for the Automated Classification Management Environment (ACME) to address the limitations of current manual classification infrastructure. The primary objective is to develop an automated capability that supports Joint All Domain Command and Control operations by managing the end-to-end lifecycle of classification and declassification guidance, including Executive Order 13526 and associated Department of War policies. This initiative aims to increase data sharing speeds to meet end-user requirements and overcome existing bottlenecks in information distribution. The government is seeking information from potential vendors to demonstrate the technical maturity and core competencies necessary to support the ACME and Battering Ram efforts. Responses are encouraged from both traditional defense contractors and vendors outside the Defense Industrial Base to explore diverse solutions. Interested parties must submit their responses by September 4, 2026, and should include the provided Vendor Q&A with their submission. The solicitation is managed by the Department of Defense through the Aflcmc Hnjk office located at Hanscom AFB, Massachusetts.
