The Deployed Operational Technology (OT) stack in each facility must provide secure connectivity between the devices and the central IROC services in the base data center. The scope of work shall acquire, configure, and deploy OT networking infrastructure in connected facilities and cutover connected FRCS devices to the IROC network. Request Capabilities: The Government seeks to identify contractors with demonstrated experience in OT networking infrastructure, FRCS or similar control systems, cybersecurity expertise for OT environments, network architecture and design capabilities, and integration experience with existing systems. Interested parties are encouraged to possess relevant DoD/Air Force contract experience, appropriate security clearances, and the technical capacity to support enterprise-level facility control system implementations across multiple installations. Although not required in order to respond. Submission Requirements: Interested contractors should submit capability statements (maximum 5 pages) that include company information with CAGE code and socioeconomic status, relevant past performance examples from the last 5 years, technical approach for OT stack deployment and IROC system integration, rough order of magnitude cost estimates, and key personnel qualifications. Responses should demonstrate experience with similar scope projects and include customer references for comparable implementations. SUBMISSION DEADLINE AND CONTACT: All capability statements must be received by 4:00 PM EST on 1 August 2025. Submit responses in PDF format to SrA Jarred Julian at jarred.julian@us.af.mil.

While the initial Prototype OTA was competitively awarded through a CSO involving seven other vendors, the agency has since encountered practical barriers to fostering further competition for this specific acquisition. This is primarily attributable to the unique nature of the OT stack intellectual property held by SimpleSense, INC., which is essential for executing the requested integration. No follow-on acquisition is anticipated, as this requirement is a direct result of the MILCON building completion. As previously stated, SimpleSense, INC. owns intellectual property rights that are required for the continued expansion of the IROC system, as originally planned in the OT. This expansion could not be fully defined previously, as MILCON buildings were not completed following hurricane disaster recovery efforts, making SimpleSense, INC. the only viable solution.

This determination is based on the anticipated contract value falling within the SAP threshold and supported by several key justifications: the procurement qualifies as a commercial item acquisition under streamlined procedures (FAR 13.5), SimpleSense, INC. possesses unique expertise and qualifications essential for the project's success, the expedited deployment of critical infrastructure through the IROC platform is paramount, and the acquisition strategically leverages a small business. Market research, encompassing a comprehensive review of vendor capabilities via online databases, industry publications, and government contracting websites such as SAM.gov, has revealed a critical gap in the market.

Although the original IROC OTA intended for full system integration, unforeseen limitations imposed by the MILCON projects and site conditions prevented its complete execution. SimpleSense, INC. is now uniquely positioned to continue this originally intended integration, leveraging its existing expertise and intellectual property, now that suitable conditions exist following the completion of relevant construction.
