AI Contract Overview

The Manpower Programming and Execution System (MPES) Follow-On initiative has been officially discontinued as a recompete effort, with the U.S. Air Force shifting its strategy toward modernizing the legacy MPES system by transitioning its capabilities into an enterprise cloud environment. The government will not issue a new contract for MPES sustainment under the current solicitation; instead, any future requirements for cloud-based support, sustainment, or enhancements will be pursued as separate, independent efforts or integrated into broader enterprise-wide solutions. Prior to this decision, the program sought industry input through an industry day focused on the existing MPES architecture, which supports both unclassified (U) and classified (S) operations, serving as the system of record for Air Force and Space Force manpower planning, programming, budgeting, and execution across Headquarters, MAJCOM, and Base levels. The system integrates directly with over 20 key Air Force and Space Force platforms and indirectly with more than 98 Department of Defense, Joint Staff, and OSD systems, requiring continuous, rapid adaptation to high-priority senior leader mandates. Contractors interested in supporting MPES under the existing lifecycle had to demonstrate extensive technical expertise in Oracle, SQL Server, ColdFusion, C#, Agile, and DevSecOps practices, along with deep familiarity with DoD PPBE processes, manpower allocation algorithms, and advanced workforce modeling. Personnel working on the system were required to hold specific DoD 8570.01-M cybersecurity certifications—including IAM Level 2, IAT Level 2, and IASAE Level 2—with no waivers permitted. All individuals must have completed a Tier 1 background investigation to obtain a Common Access Card, and at least one operations team member must be onsite at the Pentagon’s Room 5B349 during key planning cycles. The contract mandated strict configuration management, compliance with the Risk Management Framework, Authority to Operate requirements, and adherence to 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls. Performance was evaluated against metrics including 90% personnel certification compliance, 95% adherence to timelines, and successful execution of failover testing and user acceptance procedures, with all deliverables submitted via email to the Contracting Officer’s Representative using Microsoft Word format and invoiced through Wide Area Workflow. Although the solicitation identified key personnel requirements, vacancy controls, OCI restrictions, and telework protocols, no contract value, pricing structure, evaluation factors, or option clauses were disclosed, as this was a sources-sought
