📄RFP at a glance?

This is a Request for Information (RFI) only—not a solicitation for bids. The IIIAC Operational Data Team is conducting market research to understand commercial capabilities for delivering a role-tailored Generative AI training and workforce enablement program. The Government seeks to identify capable vendors (including small businesses) and develop its acquisition strategy, Performance Work Statement, and security requirements for defense-specific GenAI and LLM training across three modular, role-based tracks.

Key requirements

Deliver three modular, role-based training tracks: (1) Generative AI for Mission Leaders (4 cohorts/year, 50–75 students per cohort); (2) Applied Prompt Engineering for Mission Operations (12 cohorts/year, 20–25 per cohort); (3) Autonomous Agent Architecture & Mission Systems Integration (4 cohorts/year, 15–20 per cohort).
Defense-specific curriculum covering prompt engineering, prompt injection/data leakage mitigation, pre-approved prompt libraries, and autonomous agent architecture with secure mission-systems integration.
Deploy across Impact Level 5 (IL5), Impact Level 6 (IL6), and air-gapped, isolated environments.
Classroom or lecture hall delivery within 15 miles of Fort Hood, TX.
Instructors must demonstrate technical subject matter mastery and familiarization with DoD Cloud Computing Security Requirements Guide (CC SRG) standards.
Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract structure; base period of 12 months plus four optional 12-month renewal periods (5 years total).

Eligibility

Small Business Set-Aside under review; set-aside determination pending market research responses.
No personnel security clearance or facility clearance required.
No priority credential or standard NAICS/size standard restriction stated in RFI.

How to submit

Capability statement and non-binding budgetary Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) estimate.
Company information: name, address, website, UEI, CAGE Code, primary point of contact, relevant contract vehicles/schedules, and confirmation of active SAM.gov registration.
Capability statement addressing: curriculum adaptability to three modular tracks with defense vignettes; experience with IL5, IL6, and air-gapped environments; qualified instructor availability; up to three (3) similar past-performance summaries; identification of risks, dependencies, and Government-Furnished Information/Equipment (GFI/GFE) needs.
Budgetary estimate: cost per cohort or per student by track; curriculum customization and lab configuration costs; commercial terms and discounting.
Direct responses to seven market research questions on COTS vs. customization, cloud integration, instructor staffing lead time, preferred contract structure, and small business subcontracting capability.
Format: Searchable Adobe PDF (budgetary ROM may be PDF or Excel .xlsx); submit via email to travis.m.gerdes.mil@army.mil and sean.p.cairney.mil@army.mil.
Email subject line: RFI Response: Operational GenAI Workforce Suite - [Vendor Name].

⚠ Watch-outs

This is an RFI only—not a solicitation, RFQ, RFP, or IFB. The Government makes no commitment to issue a follow-on solicitation, use any vendor's information, or procure any service.
No payment or reimbursement for RFI response preparation.
Government reserves the right to use submitted information for internal market research and planning with other Government personnel or support contractors.
Future solicitation, if issued, will be posted separately through appropriate Government channels; vendors are responsible for monitoring SAM.gov or other sources.
Defense-specific security and compliance requirements (IL5/IL6 certification, DoD CC SRG standards) may limit vendor pool.
Tight response turnaround (less than two weeks from RFI publication to response due date, depending on actual release date).
