Description
Industry Day Announcement Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Armament Directorate Supply Chain Illumination Capability Hosted by AFLCMC/EB BLUF: AFLCMC/EB requires a secure, scalable, AI-assisted federated data capability that integrates but not unnecessarily replaces existing government, Service, and contractor data sources. The capability must provide end-to-end supply-chain mapping, risk identification and assessment, near-real-time situational awareness, mitigation tracking, and evidence-based decision support for priority munition programs, initially within the Long-Range Weapons, Affordable Munition, and Adaptive Weapons portfolios, with potential expansion across the Armament Directorate portfolio.
1. Introduction The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Armament Directorate (EB), plans to conduct a virtual Industry Day to conduct market research and obtain industry feedback regarding a potential Supply Chain Illumination capability for the munitions enterprise. The Armament Directorate is pursuing an artificial intelligence-assisted, federated data capability to map critical munition supply chains to raw-material sources.
The intended capability would provide enterprise-level visibility into supply-chain dependencies, bottlenecks, supplier risks, competing demands, and mitigation actions in support of senior-leader decision-making and mission outcomes. This Industry Day is intended to inform the Government’s market research under Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 10 and help identify mature, scalable commercial and non-traditional solutions that can support the Directorate’s supply-chain visibility requirements.
This announcement does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP), solicitation, commitment, or promise to issue a solicitation in the future. 2. Background The Armament Directorate currently lacks an integrated mechanism to assess critical supply-chain risk across its acquisition divisions, military Services, and contractor-supported weapon systems.
Existing data sources are fragmented (data lives in siloed systems), contractor logistics support arrangements can limit visibility into multi-tier supply chains, and shared dependencies across military and commercial demand can create unanticipated production risk. The Government seeks to improve end-to-end visibility of materials, suppliers, production dependencies, single points of failure, foreign-source dependencies, and mitigation actions across priority munition portfolios down to the raw materials at the lowest of sub-tier suppliers.
The initial proof of concept is expected to focus on PAE-prioritized programs within the Long-Range Weapons, Affordable Munition, and Adaptive Weapons portfolios, with potential expansion across the Armament Directorate weapon-system portfolio. 3. Industry Day Objectives The Government seeks industry feedback on approaches to establish a secure, scalable Supply Chain Illumination capability that can: Map supply chains from end item to raw-material origin for critical munition programs, through all tiers of subcontractors.
Federate existing government, Service, and contractor data sources without unnecessarily replacing established systems. Identify and assess supply-chain risks, including bottlenecks, single points of failure, constrained materials, supplier financial and manufacturing risk, foreign influence, and competing demands. Support data-sharing standards and interfaces that protect legitimate competition sensitive information while providing the Government sufficient visibility for risk management and decision support.
Enable near-real-time situational awareness through application programming interfaces and other appropriate data-exchange mechanisms. Apply AI-assisted analytics, including machine-learning and knowledge-graph approaches, to identify relationships, risks, and mitigation options across complex, multi-tier supply chains. Track mitigation actions through end-item delivery and produce evidence suitable for waiver assessments and senior-leader decision-making.
Integrate with relevant enterprise architectures and platforms, including existing Air Force, Army, Navy, and digital Bill of Materials efforts, as appropriate. 4. Event Details for the Virtual Industry Day Open to All Contractors Date: 15 December 2026 Time: 0900hrs CST Location/Platform: Teams Link Classification: Unclassified Registration Deadline: 16 November 2026 The Government will provide an overview of the operational problem, desired endstate, preliminary technical considerations, and potential next steps.

7.
