REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY FOR THE AN/TYQ-23A(V)1 SERVER VIRTUALIZATION:
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s (AFLCMC) Aerospace Dominance Enabler Division (HBZ) through the Control and Reporting Center (CRC) Program Management Office (PMO) is seeking information on how industry could develop and implement a virtualized server solution for the CRC AN/TYQ-23A(V)1. The CRC PMO is looking to reduce the physical footprint of the current server configuration of the 23A while maintaining and/or improving upon server reliability. Furthermore, the CRC is modernizing and evolving to be compatible with the future Air Battle Management System (ABMS). As part of this modernization, CRC needs to grow its multi-level classification computing capability and become a server-agnostic virtualized platform that can adapt to and implement future ABMS software capability. AFLCMC/HBZ is requesting information on and a Rough Order of Magnitude for Cost and Schedule for the development of a prototype virtualized system in the FY2021 timeframe. As an option, you may provide production, and sustainment actions to include two years of Interim Contractor Support (ICS). The virtualized solutions considered must offer the same capabilities of the CRC AN/TYQ-23A Operations Module (OM).
