Request for Information (RFI) Rogue Blue Software (RBS) CONUS Wide Area Network (WAN) Services Issued by: Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) RFI Number: 20260528-001 Date of Issuance: 28 May 2026 Response Due Date: 09 June 2026 – 12:00 pm EST 1.0 INTRODUCTION & PURPOSE The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC), Combatant Command C2 Division (NCC), is seeking information from potential sources capable of providing a robust and secure Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Wide Area Network (WAN) to extend its Rogue Blue Software (RBS) development platform network. The goal is to connect locally hosted development platforms to multiple CONUS locations, including Federal facilities, contracting partner facilities, and commercial/Federal Cloud Service Provider (CSP) datacenters. This RFI is issued for market research and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation. The Government will not award a contract based on this RFI. 2.0 BACKGROUND AFNWC/NCCR requires a capability to extend its development platform networks using WAN services that provide controlled, monitored, protected, and encrypted connections for each desired endpoint. The initial requirement focuses on establishing connectivity between two primary locations and their respective network gateways, with the potential for future expansion. 3.0 SCOPE OF WORK The scope involves providing fully managed, end-to-end WAN services. The initial requirement is for two separate 1Gbps Ethernet Private Line (EPL) services connecting the following locations: Offutt AFB (900 SAC Blvd, Bldg 1000, Offutt AFB, NE 68113) EGLIN AFB (201 West Eglin Blvd, Eglin Air Force Base FL 32542) The solution must be architected to traverse an EGSNet/L2VPN/EVPN for secure network segmentation and connectivity. 4.0 REQUIREMENTS Provided solutions must meet the following Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) and Key System Attributes (KSAs). Respondents should indicate their ability to meet each requirement. 4.1 Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) KPP-1 (Security): The network extension must be protected by a virtualized private network (VPN) with valid encryption approved for use in IPsec by the NSA Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) program. KPP-2 (Monitoring): The service must be monitored by a 24/7/365 Network Operations Center (NOC) or Secure NOC (SecNOC). KPP-3 (Connectivity): The solution must be capable of connecting to multiple CONUS endpoints and Federal CSP endpoints. KPP-4 (Implementation Timeline): The time to implement the extension must not exceed 6 months from connection submission. KPP-5 (Network Speed): The service provider must be able to provide a minimum of 1Gbps network speeds for connections. 4.2 Key System Attributes (KSAs) KSA-1 (Personnel): Security services must be operated by government-cleared personnel. KSA-2 (Scalability): The solution shall provide graded bandwidth expansion capabilities to meet future network demands. 4.3 Constraints All physical equipment mus…
