The Air Force Nuclear Weapon Center (AFNWC) Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Systems Directorate (SD) team is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) for Audio Visual (AV) / Video Teleconferencing (VTC) Lifecycle Information Technology (IT) Support (AV LIT). This effort aims to define the scope and requirements for lifecycle sustainment of AV/VTC/IT hardware systems primarily at Hill Air Force Base, UT, and other CONUS locations. The Government is seeking industry input on capabilities, especially for operating within a Special Access Program (SAP) environment, and feedback on the provided draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) and Price Catalogue. Responses are due June 2, 2026.
Purpose
This RFI serves as market research to gather industry insights and define the scope and requirements for comprehensive AV/VTC/IT lifecycle support. Key objectives include understanding industry's capability to operate in a SAP environment and soliciting feedback on the draft PWS and Price Catalogue.
Scope of Work
The anticipated scope, as outlined in the draft PWS, includes:
- Consulting and Design Services: For new and existing VTC/AV solutions and IT hardware installations.
