The U.S. Air Force is seeking industry input for a potential future Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) requirement to support and sustain the Virtual Imagery Processing Capability (VIP-C) III program, which demands advanced expertise in High-Performance Compute systems, Synthetic Aperture Radar and Electro-Optical sensor data processing, and integration of data from both dedicated Department of Defense Lower Earth Orbit sensors and commercial satellite systems. The contractor must possess proven capabilities in message normalization, pixel and metadata quality enhancement, implementation of open modular architecture, and must serve as the lead integrator for GEOINT operational capabilities, ensuring seamless interoperability and scalable deliverables across the intelligence community. Responses are required to address technical proficiency in these domains and demonstrate readiness to provide recurring, long-term mission support under an IDIQ structure. All submissions must be directed electronically to Contract Specialist Erin Surette and Contracting Officer Daniel Lavoie by the deadline of September 8, 2026, and must align with the NAICS code 541511 for Custom Computer Programming Services. The solicitation, identified by RFI number A067161, was posted on August 6, 2026, and is issued by the Department of Defense through the FA2398 Command and Control Systems office located at Hanscombe Air Force Base, Massachusetts. No set-aside designation applies, meaning all eligible organizations, including small and large businesses, may respond. The place of performance is tied to the Massachusetts location, and interested parties are encouraged to access the official SAM.gov portal for additional guidance and documentation prior to submission.
