Air Force seeks contractor for Red Flag-Alaska exercise at JPARC

The Air Force is seeking a service-disabled veteran-owned small business contractor to run tactical control and threat simulation for the Red Flag-Alaska 26-3 exercise at the Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex. Proposals are due June 9 at 1 p.m. Alaska time.

The 354th Contracting Squadron at Eielson Air Force Base issued the solicitation for services during the August 12-28 exercise period. Flying operations are scheduled for August 17-28. The single firm-fixed-price contract is set aside exclusively for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses under NAICS code 611512, with a small business size standard of $34 million.

Red Flag-Alaska is a Pacific Air Forces training event that ranges from individual skills development to large-scale joint engagements. The August exercise follows Red Flag-Alaska 26-1 in April-May and Red Flag-Alaska 26-2 in June, part of a recurring 2026 training cycle.

The contractor must manage at least two daily exercise vulnerability periods and provide real-time weapons assessment software with 99 percent accuracy. The software must provide graphical depictions of weapon impact locations no later than the start of the debrief, which begins 2 hours and 15 minutes after mission termination.

All contractor personnel must hold Top Secret clearance at the time of contract award. Key personnel must obtain SCI and SAP access within 60 days of award. The government will work with the contractor to obtain necessary SCI and SAP access for other personnel as required for their specific duties. The contractor must also possess a Facility Security Clearance adjudicated to the Top Secret level before the start of the performance period.

The Air Force will award the contract using a highest-technically-rated approach, meaning no trade-offs between price and technical factors will be considered.
