AI Contract Overview
The Department of the Air Force, through the Air Force Testing Center, is conducting market research for the Small Business Cybersecure Enclave Pilot. The primary objective is to identify capable partners to develop and field test affordable, scalable secure enclave solutions that allow small business contractors to handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) while meeting NIST SP 800-53 (171/172) standards. The requirement involves providing a comprehensive architecture, hardware, and software capable of obtaining an Authority to Operate (ATO) and Approval to Connect (ATC), including a lifecycle support plan and a service provider plan to support up to 500 systems per year. To facilitate this, Edwards Air Force Base is hosting a virtual-only Industry Day from September 17-18, 2026, featuring one-on-one solution demonstrations. Interested parties were required to RSVP by August 27, 2026. The proposed period of performance includes a 12-month base period with two 6-month option periods. Evaluation of potential solutions will be weighted based on technical approach and security compliance (40%), usability and sustainment (25%), business scaling and transition plans (20%), and cost realism (15%). This effort is currently for planning and market research purposes, and funding has not yet been secured.
