## Description

Air Force Energy Assurance Office Request for Information to support market research for DECo, which is looking into creating a program utilizing a Consortium Management Organization (CMO), a legal entity with an established consortium whose members will be compromised of small businesses, traditional and non-traditional defense contractors, utilities, financiers, and others dedicated to addressing DAF’s energy resilience requirements through on ongoing public-private partnership.

Please see the attached RFI for more information. 8/5/24- Office of Energy Assurance held a RFI Webinar. The slides and recording of that webinar have been attached. 8/7/24- The RFI questions may appear to only want information from CMOs but that is not the case. Any and all interested parties, whether that be a CMO, investor, performer (contractor) or anyone with information or insights they want to share are encouraged to participate.

This is market research, so while the questions asked are considered important in shaping our strategy, it does not limit the type of information you may submit and there is no restrictions on who participates.
