The Air Force’s $12.5 Billion Leap into Network Infrastructure Modernization
The United States Air Force is on the verge of launching a transformative initiative known as the Base Infrastructure Modernization (BIM) IDIQ RFP, earmarked with a potential budget of $12.5 billion. This ambitious program is designed to overhaul network infrastructure across Air Force bases globally, spanning a comprehensive decade-long period that includes a preliminary five-year phase with an option to extend for another five. This initiative not only opens the competition to a broad array of businesses but also specifically carves out opportunities for small businesses, including those owned by women, service-disabled veterans, and those situated in historically underutilized business zones (HUBZones).
Drawing from a reservoir of insights gained from previous IT infrastructure modernization endeavors and the innovative Enterprise IT-as-a-Service (EITaaS) model, BIM aims to elevate the operational efficacy and security of both classified and unclassified networks. The program’s genesis can be traced back to the network-as-a-service component of EITaaS, initiated in 2018 through strategic partnerships with industry giants AT&T and Microsoft. This collaboration underscored the potential of leveraging commercial networks and capabilities to bolster the Air Force’s base operations.
Prospective contractors will be tasked with the comprehensive design, installation, testing, maintenance, and ongoing sustenance of network infrastructures. This entails a critical responsibility for ensuring the networks’ operational integrity, monitoring, and support to meet the demands of multidomain operations.
