The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center is seeking market information through a Request for Information to assess the capabilities of small businesses in providing Advisory and Assistance Services across multiple geographically dispersed directorates, including Hanscom AFB, Hill AFB, and Langley AFB. This RFI targets NAICS code 541712 and is intended as a market research tool under a total small business set-aside, with no intent to award a contract based on responses. All submissions are considered non-binding, non-proprietary government property, and responders must clearly mark any sensitive information. No funding has been appropriated, and responses will not be compensated. The anticipated period of performance for any future contract would span from May 1, 2028, to April 30, 2033, supporting a portfolio exceeding $2.5 billion in weapons and business systems requiring diverse technical, engineering, logistics, cybersecurity, financial, and program management expertise. Responses are due by July 20, 2026, and must be submitted through the designated SAM.gov portal. Primary point of contact is Rachel Layre, with Richard Caruso available for secondary inquiries, both reachable via official Air Force email and phone numbers at Hanscom AFB, Massachusetts. Participation in this RFI is entirely voluntary and does not affect eligibility for future solicitations. The government may reach out to respondents for additional clarification to better understand the small business landscape and ensure future procurement strategies are well-informed. All interested small businesses are encouraged to respond even if they are not currently prepared for full contract engagement, as this effort informs the development of an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) vehicle and potential future Request for Proposals.
