Information Technology Needs Commercial Solutions Opening Service

The United States Air Force in Illinois is seeking innovative methodologies and solutions to support secure, scalable, multi- and cross-domain information technology transformation. The agency is attempting to modernize its core, edge, and cloud IT infrastructure to replace aging hardware and antiquated software. These legacy systems currently cause slow performance, frequent outages, and an unsustainable maintenance burden that diverts critical resources from mission-focused activities. The scope of work addresses a rigid, on-premises infrastructure that cannot scale to meet new mission demands, surge capacity, or ensure rapid recovery from disruptions. This current slow and siloed system directly impedes the rapid, data-driven decision-making essential for projecting modern airpower. The agency is requesting commercial solutions opening services to resolve these infrastructure limitations through offsite performance. Bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States to be eligible for this opportunity. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish the budget for this initiative. The source document does not specify further evaluation criteria or key dates for this procurement.
