Global Unified Airbase Readiness and Defense (GUARD) Capabilities Sources Sought

The Government is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to gather industry input on a future acquisition that will combine physical‑security engineering (including hardware design and installation for host‑nation facilities) with complex software and cloud‑infrastructure services such as an agile DevOps pipeline and cloud‑hosting operations. Respondents must be able to obtain multiple host‑nation business licenses and visas, disclose any existing GSA Schedule or IDIQ contract numbers, and indicate whether they are a Value‑Added Reseller for relevant systems. Although the Government is open to prime‑subcontractor teaming arrangements, offerors must be capable of delivering the full, holistic scope under a single prime contract; the anticipated contract structure is a single IDIQ with multiple task orders (or potentially multiple functional‑area contracts), and a ceiling value range will be defined later. All submissions must be UNCLASSIFIED, limited to ten single‑sided pages, and received no later than 08 June 2026, 15:00 EDT. The Government will not reimburse any response costs, and all questions must be directed to Contracting Officer McKenna Clippert (mckenna.clippert@us.af.mil), with answers posted on SAM.gov. Offerors must possess an active SECRET Facility Clearance (FCL) at the time of submission and maintain it throughout performance; the Government will not sponsor an uncleared prime. Experience in every niche requirement (e.g., nuclear material storage, specific cloud environments) is not mandatory, but respondents should clearly describe their relevant capabilities and note any gaps. Proprietary information may be submitted with appropriate markings, but the response itself must remain unclassified.
