Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, HQ Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC), is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) for a Program Objective Memorandum (POM) Strategic Prioritization Tool and Training. This RFI aims to gather industry input for the potential procurement of a data-driven software solution. Responses are due by May 4, 2026, 8:00 AM EST.
Purpose
This RFI is for market research only, not a request for quote or proposal. Its purpose is to assist with planning and potential procurement, refining the scope, structure, and terms of a future solicitation for a tool that provides objective, defendable, and clean strategic prioritization data for the POM process.
Scope of Capability Sought
The Government seeks a robust, data-driven software tool designed to evaluate and prioritize strategic assets. Key performance objectives include:
- Data Quality & Hygiene: Ensuring integrity and cleanliness of strategic prioritization data.
- Asset Valuation: Accurately identifying and assigning value to tangible assets and mission classes.
- Intangible Asset Assessment: Facilitating objective assessment and opportunity cost evaluations for intangible assets using transparent statistical models.
- Bias Mitigation: Actively mitigating bias in data ingestion and prioritization processes.
- Training & Sustainment: Providing comprehensive training and user manuals for Government personnel to operate, manage, and update the tool independently.
Performance locations include the Pentagon, HQ AFRC at Robins AFB, Georgia, and the contractor's facility. Operating constraints involve Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), personnel/facilities clearances, and IT infrastructure/interoperability.
