Contract Opportunity Analysis

The Air Force Materiel Command’s Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Mobility Aircraft Directorate, is seeking market research information on current and emerging AI tools to accelerate Air Force mobility aircraft acquisition activities. The effort focuses on COTS and GOTS AI solutions with high technology readiness, field-ready security certification, and the ability to improve the acquisition lifecycle from requirements definition through contract award, procurement through fielding, and product support and sustainment. The government is especially interested in tools that can reduce time, manpower, and cost; support document generation and review, proposal analysis, performance monitoring, knowledge sharing, and automation; and integrate with existing government data, requirements, lifecycle, PLM, MBSE, DevSecOps, and other toolchains while operating at the appropriate classification level. This is an RFI for information only, not a request for proposal, and submissions are to follow the attached instructions; the overview notes a closing date extended to April 30, 2026, while the response form lists March 20, 2026.
