Not responding to this request does not preclude participation in any future solicitation, if any is issued. Funds are not currently available for this effort. Any submissions in response to this RFI constitutes consent for that submission to be reviewed by Government personnel, Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) Contractor employees, and Advisory & Assistance Services (A&AS) Contractor employees supporting Air Force AFLCMC/C3C Kessel Run program – unless respondent clearly objects in writing to the release of this information to FFRDC and/or A&AS Contractor employees supporting AFLCMC/C3C in a cover letter accompanying the respondent’s submission. Entities that may support this effort are as follows: MITRE, Odyssey Consulting, and Astrion Group, LLC. All Government and Department of War (DoW) Contractor personnel reviewing RFI responses understand their responsibility for proper use and protection from unauthorized disclosure of proprietary information. 1. DAF EMIS Background: The objective of the Department of Air Force Emergency Management Information System (DAF EMIS) is to deliver an enterprise software capability natively deployed within the DoW software ecosystems and data platforms. DAF EMIS will automate and accelerate all four core phases of the Emergency Management lifecycle – Preparedness, Protection, Response, and Recovery – across routine operations, natural disasters, and major contingencies. The purpose of the DAF EMIS is to ensure mission assurance, operational resilience, and timely decision support across the Command and Control (C2) continuum and sustain essential operational missions. DAF EMIS will be the U.S. Air Force’s premier, Government-owned software designed to provide real-time emergency response and installation resource management alongside the C2 continuum. See Attachment 1 Area of Interest (AoI) and Attachment 2 Statement of Objective (SOO) for additional requirement details. The Program Management Office (PMO) at AFLCMC/C3C, Kessel Run, is seeking information for a comprehensive innovative solution to decouple and transition installation Emergency Management (EM) capabilities from the current Command and Control Incident Management Emergency Response Application (C2IMERA) system to establish a DAF EMIS. The Government’s requirement is for an enterprise capability providing an integrated EM lifecycle multi-echelon situational awareness, and comprehensive regional infrastructure data. The DAF EMIS will leverage innovative software to automate and accelerate the entire EM lifecycle “Preparedness, Protection, Response, and Recovery” across both peacetime daily activities to include disasters and adversary attacks. This RFI presents a unique opportunity for companies to showcase their product(s) and/or capabilities to meet this requirement. As a portfolio within Kessel Run, C2IMERA leverages industry best practices to rapidly deliver capabilities while posturing for future Information Technology (IT). The PMO is looking for a solution that will meet the needs of our Users across the globe while embracing Agile software development principles, Development Security Operations (DevSecOps), and Lean product management practices to continuously integrate and deliver software capabilities. The PMO embraces a culture of rapid feedback loops, e.g., build, measure, learn, and user-centered design managed by Government-led teams to rapidly develop, produce, and deploy software across the Department of the Air Force (DAF) Battle Network, while continuously iterating and improving upon those software applications. The PMO intends to develop a System of Systems solution leveraging the best of the current fielded C2IMERA capabilities. DAF EMIS will provide a scalable capability to optimize current capabilities of Emergency Management. The DAF EMIS will ensure data-driven tactical readiness, strategic situational awareness, and expedite decision making processes. DAF EMIS will be in Microservice architecture and operate under the shared Maven Smart System (MSS) data platform. This application will directly support Air Combat Command (ACC), Pacific Air Force (PACAF), and/or other Major Commands with installation resource management. The PMO is seeking information on capabilities from Interested Contractors/Vendors to support the subject requirements to facilitate market research and determine the best strategy and approaches for fulfilling user needs and operational requirements. 2. Market Research Approach: Through responses provided to this RFI, and subsequent Market Research Engagements, the Government intends to obtain: 1) Industry’s input and suggestions on refining requirements; 2) Recommendations on the government’s acquisition and contracting approach; and 3) Industry’s capabilities to meet the above requirements. Respondents to this RFI may be invited to participate in further market research activities, including Virtual or In-person Industry Day, Virtual One-on-One activities, Product Demonstrations, and Questions-and-Answer sessions. 2.1. Requirements Background and Objectives: Pacing nation-state adversaries possess high-lethality kinetic capabilities (hypersonic weapons, cruise missiles, unmanned aerial system [UAS] swarms) and advanced Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) threat profiles designed to trigger rapid, cascading failures across critical base and local lifelines (energy, water, communications, fuel distribution, runways, and medical care). Under emerging operating concepts, airbase forces must dynamically disperse and still require a unified operational picture capable of aggregating infrastructure status, coordinating emergency workflows, and enabling collaborative decision support across diverse stakeholder organizations. Please see Attachment 2 SOO for additional details. 2.2. OBJECTIVES: 2.2.1 The DAF seeks a AI-enabled software capability that automates the full Emergency Management lifecycle while operating within the following technical boundaries: 2.2.1.1 Ecosystem Integration: Must be capable of deploying and functioning within designated Department of Defense (DoD) cloud and software ecosystems. 2.2.1.2 Tactical Resilience: Must feature a distributed architecture capable of local data caching and edge execution, and must be able to operate reliably during intermittent or denied communications without data loss. 2.2.1.3 Automated Geospatial Foundation: Must dynamically ingest authoritative on- and off-base map layers and web feature services to automate the mapping and real-time status tracking of critical local-to-regional lifelines without manual Geographic Information System (GIS) creation or file imports. 2.2.1.4 Edge & Mobile Agility: Must provide a secure, platform-agnostic mobile/edge interface to support dispersed Airmen and field units on both government-furnished and approved edge devices, including interoperability with approved tactical suites. 2.2.1.5 Security & Deployment: Must be architected to meet…
