Quick Summary
The Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC), in support of the Twenty-First Surveillance Squadron (21 SURS), is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for a Sample Tasking and Tracking System (STATS). This RFI seeks industry capabilities to develop a system to track sensor data and sample collections from creation through final disposition. The potential place of performance is Patrick Air Force Base, FL. Responses are due February 13, 2026.
Scope of Work
The STATS system must be capable of:
- Interfacing with Oracle databases for sample definitions and data.
- Ingesting and using various file types.
- Tracking and storing diverse samples and tasks with associated metadata.
- Supporting configurable workflows that can change on the fly.
- Processing and tracking samples/taskers through defined workflows.
- Providing configurable dashboards for status display.
- Auto-emailing status updates and auto-generating reports from editable templates.
- Querying current and past sample/task activity.
- Featuring a web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) front end with user authentication.
- Being deployable to a container orchestration system.
- Meeting cybersecurity and zero-trust requirements for unclassified and classified networks.
Contract & Timeline
