Quick Summary
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Air Force Security Assistance and Cooperation Directorate (AFSAC), is conducting market research via a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) for In-transit Inspection Point (IIP) services for the Worldwide Warehouse Redistribution Services (WWRS) Program.
