AFRL Procurement Headquarters (PK), located at 1864 4th St, Building 15, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH 45433, is announcing a DRAFT solicitation for the AFRL Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery\/Indefinite Quantity (AMAC) contract vehicle.<\/p>\n

The AFRL Multiple Award Contract (MAC) vehicle is intended for streamlined acquisition of Science and Technology (S&T) across all technology areas relevant to the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). The AMAC aims to facilitate rapid and efficient technology development, ultimately advancing the state-of-the-art for the United States Air Force and Space Force.<\/p>\n

The goal is to provide AFRL with flexible and responsive access to a diverse pool of qualified contractors capable of performing work in any of the below technical areas of interest as well as emerging areas of interest. The secondary objective is to provide a streamlined and standardized acquisition vehicle to be used across AFRL.<\/p>\n

AFRL is actively seeking industry input, opinions and responses to the provided draft documentation. Constructive feedback from industry partners is highly encouraged to help refine and finalize the solicitation.<\/p>\n
