DMSI Architecture RFI 2025

The document is a Request for Information (RFI) from the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), seeking market research for an architecture tool to support the Depot Maintenance Systems Integration (DMSI) systems. The RFI emphasizes that it is not a contract solicitation and will not lead to an award. DMSI encompasses multiple systems, including programmed management and inventory systems, and requires support for compatibility, conversion to PHP web frameworks, and ongoing development. Interested vendors must demonstrate their capabilities in software architecture, security frameworks, and experience within Department of Defense environments. Responses should detail technical capabilities, estimated costs, and prior relevant experience, highlighting any organizational conflicts of interest. Vendors are also required to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Responses are due by April 21, 2024, and must include a comprehensive capability statement. The document outlines specific guidelines for response submission, emphasizing the importance of confidentiality regarding proprietary data.

The Department of War, Business Enterprise Systems (BES), intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Empower AI, INC. for technical and operational support of the Spectrum System Development Architecture (SSDA) Program. This 12-month contract, with options, will provide continued maintenance, sustainment, and modification services for SSDA, which is crucial for the Depot Maintenance System Integration (DMSI) components of the United States Air Force (USAF). The justification for this sole-source acquisition is based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing Empower AI, INC. as the only responsible source with the necessary understanding of the SSDA system to prevent service disruption. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals, but responsible sources may submit capability statements by June 4, 2026, for consideration.
