Modernization of Scientific and Technical Intelligence (SandTI;) Prototype Effort

The description now contains two Government Q&A memos appended to the original RFI text, which add clarifications rather than changing the original requirement.

• ROM structure clarified (30 Sep 2026): The overall period of performance is 48 months, not 60. Industry must provide two separate ROMs: one for months 1–12 and one for months 13–48.
• On-site and SCIF requirement clarified (1 Oct 2026): Work is not required to be performed entirely at Wright-Patterson AFB. Respondents need a verified TS/SCI Top Secret facility clearance, must be able to work in their own SCIFs, and must have cleared personnel who can travel to WPAFB for on-site work and meetings as needed.
• Submission method clarified (1 Oct 2026): Email submission to the listed points of contact is acceptable. PIEE access is not required for this RFI. Companies without an active CAGE code can still respond, though an active CAGE code and SAM.gov registration will be required before any award.

Why it matters: applicants should price the 12-month and 36-month periods separately, can frame SCIF-based work with travel to WPAFB rather than a full on-site staffing model, and can submit by email even if their CAGE code is still pending.

The solicitation's status changed from open to closed. Applicants can no longer submit proposals under this opportunity, so any work in progress for it should stop, and business-development efforts should shift to other open solicitations or to the agency's next cycle. If you were waiting on a Q&A response, a pre-submission question, or a teaming partner's commitment tied to this opportunity, check with the agency or your partners to confirm whether any late submissions or amendments are still possible before assuming the window is fully shut.
