Quick Summary
The USAFE/AFAFRICA -- A4 Logistics function is conducting a Sources Sought for market research to identify firms capable of developing an Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE) Digital Management System. This system will manage AF Form 864 and provide active inventory monitoring across five United States Air Force European locations, including Ramstein AB, Germany. Responses are due by April 10, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
This Sources Sought aims to identify industry capabilities for an upgraded digital management system for the AF Form 864, Daily Requirement and Dispatch Record, and an active inventory system for Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE). Historically, equipment tracking was manual and unorganized, but recent events highlight the critical need for coordinated AGE management for Department of the Air Force (DAF) readiness. The system will be deployed across five USAFE locations.
Key Requirements
Vendors must provide:
- A data plan/data service and 5 devices per location to operate the software.
- Support for up to 100 users per location, with oversight authority access to data.
- A MAJCOM-specific dashboard to monitor inventories across all five locations.
- Demonstrated experience testing or working systems in an OCONUS environment and linking to foreign systems.
- The ability to input and store values for a digital AF Form 864 (including Date, Shift/Work Center, Type Equipment, From/To agency, Time requested/dispatched, Priority, Remarks, Operator's Name, Fuel Quantity).
- A live database to actively monitor AF Form 864 inputs for current inventories, equipment movement, and duration of use.
- Capability to develop and implement the software with specific hardware within a 6-month or faster timeframe.
