Description

As published on SAM.gov.

The United States Air Force (USAF) KC-46 Program Office is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to identify sources capable of providing comprehensive software integration, sustainment, and support for the KC-46A Tanker program.

The Government is seeking a lead System Integrator to manage the entire KC-46 software enterprise. Key responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

  • Managing and integrating software modifications from multiple original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers.

  • Providing total lifecycle software support, including maintenance, patching, and modernization.

  • Overseeing system and software airworthiness and cybersecurity compliance.

  • Coordinating test, certification, and deployment of software releases.

This RFI is issued for market research and planning purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP). The information gathered will be used to refine the Government's acquisition strategy.

Interested parties with experience in large-scale avionics software integration, sustainment, and program management are encouraged to review the full RFI document for detailed requirements and instructions for response.
