    Consolidated QAs092225.pdf
    The FA8109-25-AMRT Market Research RFI outlines the 448th's need for an Advanced Market Research Tool (AMRT) and clarifies several key requirements. The government is open to solutions that address multiple RFI bullets, even without a fully designed end-to-end system, encouraging innovative approaches and potential partnerships. The AMRT is envisioned to integrate with USAF/DoD systems like SAM.gov, CPARS, and SPRS, with data rights dependent on the specific system. The RFI seeks solutions to identify new data sources for Air Force parts and may require FEDRAMP IL-4 compliance for CUI data with AI/ML integration. The market research tool will primarily involve software functions, supporting both commercial and non-commercial items under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. Cost breakdowns, including software licenses, implementation, and maintenance, are requested, though specific user and deployment numbers are currently unknown but expected to scale with need.
