DIFC2 Collaborative Workspace

The DAF Integrated Fires Command and Control (DIFC2) Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation number FA2226-25-C-0002 seeks market research to evaluate industry capabilities for providing Secure Coworking as a Service in support of mission-critical teams. This is not a solicitation, proposal request, or binding contract action but a sources-sought notice intended to gather information on potential contractors capable of delivering a high-security collaborative workspace. The facility must support accredited SCI and SAP-level processing with corresponding local security provisions, and provide comprehensive IT connectivity across NIPR, SIPR, JWICS, and PLx networks. Essential communication systems include unclassified and classified telephony such as red phones and TSVOIP systems, along with VTC capabilities compliant with AF7 standards. The workspace must also include full facility support: plumbing for restrooms and break rooms, electricity, climate control, parking, and responsive maintenance services during normal business hours to ensure uninterrupted operations. The NAICS code for this effort is 531120, with a small business size standard of $34 million, and responses are required to include company mailing address, point of contact details, CAGE code or UEI number, SAM registration status or intent to register, and nation of incorporation, along with socioeconomic status classifications under FAR Part 19 such as small business, 8(a), woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, or HUBZone status. Proposals must be submitted by June 15, 2026, at 1:00 PM EDT, cannot exceed ten total pages of primary content with an additional ten pages of supplemental data, and must follow strict formatting rules including single-spaced Arial or Times New Roman size 10 font, single-sided printing, and paragraph-level marking of proprietary content in accordance with 48 C.F.R. § 52.215-1(e). All responses must be directed to the designated contracting officer and contract specialist at the Department of the Air Force, with the place of performance identified as Reston, District of Columbia, and the office located at Hanscom AFB, Massachusetts. No contract value, pricing structure, delivery schedule, or formal contract clauses are defined, as this action remains purely in the market research phase.
