Industry Day Announcement: Looking Glass-Next

The Department of the Air Force, under the Department of Defense and through the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s Presidential and Executive Airpower Directorate, is conducting a classified Industry Day on 3 June 2026 to conduct market research for the Looking Glass-Next (LG-N) acquisition program. This event, solicited under FA283426G0002 and governed by Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul Part 10, aims to gather industry input on the development of a complete weapon system to replace the E-6B aircraft’s critical missions. Participation is restricted to U.S. citizens or naturalized citizens with an active SECRET clearance, and attendees must present a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license for access. The event will take place at Hanscom AFB, Massachusetts, and includes opportunities for one-on-one sessions with government leadership. Registration, required by 20 May 2026, requires submission of company name, CAGE code, clearance level, and indication of interest in individual meetings via email to AFLCMC.WVG.LookingGlass-Next@us.af.mil. No formal contract, pricing, deliverables, or performance periods are established at this stage, as this activity is strictly for market research to inform future acquisition decisions. Key points of contact are Kelly Lodi and Rebecca Mesiner, with no COR, COTR, or formal contracting roles designated in the announcement. The NAICS code 336413 applies to the potential scope, which may include aircraft modernization, mission system integration, training systems, ground support, and a system integration lab, though no technical specifications, performance standards, or contract clauses are provided.
