The Department of the Air Force, through the Air Force Test Center and Arnold Engineering Development Complex, is launching the AEDC Velocity Alliance, a strategic consortium aimed at accelerating the modernization of national test infrastructure to support next-generation defense systems and align with key National Defense Strategy objectives. This initiative seeks to create a pre-qualified industrial base capable of executing a multi-billion dollar portfolio of complex engineering and construction projects. Once established, all work under the Alliance will be exclusively competed among its members, providing a unique opportunity for qualified vendors to participate in a highly selective and sustained contracting environment. The onboarding process for industry members will occur in multiple phases, with key deadlines including submission of questions by May 1, 2026, and whitepapers due by June 1, 2026, for the initial phase. A second onboarding opportunity will open with whitepapers due September 1, 2026, and the consortium is expected to go live on July 1, 2026. This solicitation will remain active until September 30, 2032, enabling ongoing opportunity for new members to join. The primary NAICS code for this effort is 541330, covering engineering services, although other related codes may apply depending on specific projects. Interested vendors must carefully review all requirements and mandatory criteria to ensure compliance during the whitepaper submission process, as this will determine eligibility to participate in future project competitions within the Alliance.
