The information obtained from responses to this notice may be used to inform a future acquisition strategy and a solicitation should one be issued. No funds are available to fund the information requested. The Government does not intend to award an agreement on the basis of this request or otherwise pay for the information solicited. Although “proposal” and “offeror” are used in this Request for Information, your response will be treated as information only. It shall not be used as a proposal. Purpose: The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to gather information from Consortiums and/or Consortium Management Firms and will be used for market intelligence purposes. Description: The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has a requirement to continue to provide technology prototypes to the warfighter. This will support the timely delivery of new technology and capability to the Air Force. This process can be used to enhance the way Air Force systems perform and provide an agile adaption and integration of new capability prototypes. The Government is looking to start an AFRL Enterprise Other Transaction for Prototypes (OTP) Consortium Level Agreement to provide these OT Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) technology solutions by issuing Project Level Orders (PLOs) under the Umbrella Consortium Level OTP Agreement. Sources are sought to promote an early exchange of information with industry and to solicit comments. We encourage feedback on how the Government can best satisfy its needs, any alternatives we can consider, and how competition can be obtained. Your response is voluntary and will be safeguarded. The Government does not intend to award an agreement on the basis of this request or otherwise pay for the information solicited. The Other Transaction (OT) Lead's deliverables are expected to consist nearly entirely of reports (i.e., Quarterly Financial Reports, Monthly Technical Status Reports, Technical Information Reports, etc.), although it is possible that in unique situations the OT-lead could be responsible for the delivery of software, hardware, or technical data. Project-Level Performers within the Consortium will be expected to deliver technical solution prototypes, consisting of software, hardware, and/or technical data. Anticipated deliverables include: technical information reports; maintenance and system administration services; computer software; software documentation; software and technical engineering analyses; security documentation; financial and progress reports; presentations and hardware. Refer to the draft Statement of Work (SOW).
