This effort will provide comprehensive IT, cybersecurity, and platform integration services across AFRL HQ’s research and operational missions.

Why This Matters
This is more than a standard IT contract. AFRL’s mission touches high-stakes research, AI development, secure platforms, and digital modernization. The scope includes:
- Help desk and field service team operations
- Cybersecurity and compliance under DoD 8140/8570
- Systems and network integration (SIPR, NIPR, DREN)
- Content management, software development, and platform support (e.g., PEGA, ServiceNow)
- Data analysis, visualization, and automation consulting
- Meeting A/V and videography support for high-level DoD leadership events
If you have cleared staff and experience supporting DoD networks, managing complex IT environments, or integrating secure platforms, this contract could serve as a powerful beachhead into AFRL.
