PURPOSE This is a Request for Information for the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Defensive Cyber Systems Branch (HNCD).
The purpose of this RFI is to conduct market research to identify commercial sources capable of providing a Next-Generation, Vendor-Agnostic Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) software solution.
The program office is seeking industry feedback on software solutions that meet or exceed the capabilities of enterprise orchestration platforms like Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR.

Official solicitation and documents
The full solicitation, any attachments, and the actual submission instructions live on the official listing, not on this page. Oppward summarizes public record data; it does not host or mirror the source documents.
Oppward is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by SAM.gov or any government agency. This page is a plain-English summary of public record data; the linked source above is the authoritative listing.
How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
