The Department of the Air Force, specifically the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), has issued a memorandum identifying NAICS Code 334111, "Electronic Computer Manufacturing," as the appropriate classification for an upcoming contract. This contract focuses on procuring Unit Level Intelligence (ULI) Tactical Application Workstation (TAW) systems and Pluraview monitors, which are essential for supporting intelligence analysts at over 120 Air Force bases globally. The document references the definitions from census.gov and connects the NAICS Code to the associated Product Service Code (PSC) "7E20" for IT and telecommunications services, specifically for help desk and productivity tools. The memorandum underscores the importance of these systems in preparing air crews for operations and the necessity for assembled monitors to meet Air Combat Command (ACC) requirements. This highlights the government's commitment to ensuring enhanced operational effectiveness through advanced technological acquisitions.
The AFLCMC HBB/ULI Program Management Office is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to gather insights from industry about procuring 44 Targeting Application Workstations (TAW) and 16 Pluraview monitors, specifically approved by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). This RFI is intended for market research to assess the availability and estimated costs of the required systems and does not constitute a proposal or solicitation. Interested businesses must respond with a white paper detailing company capabilities, relevant experience, and technical compliance with specific specifications related to sourcing and delivering TAW systems and monitors. Key areas of focus include supply chain availability, delivery timelines, cost estimates, and compliance with Department of Defense regulations. The anticipated contract award is planned for September 2024, and responses are due by September 23, 2024. The document emphasizes that responding to this RFI is not mandatory for future solicitations and outlines additional administrative submission criteria. The emphasis on adherence to NGA-approved products is critical in fulfilling the procurement requirement.
