The Air Force Research Laboratory has finalized its acquisition strategy for the Expertise for Digital Platforms and Products (EDP2) program, which will be a competitive fair opportunity task order under the GSA VETS 2 GWAC reserved for 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. The Fair Opportunity Proposal Request has been released directly to all GSA VETS 2 prime contract holders, with participation restricted to those primes, though non-VETS 2 firms may join as subcontractors or teaming partners. The work is associated with Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, and involves consolidating IT administration services—including network, system, endpoint, database, and application administration—under a unified governance model. The original request for information, which sought industry feedback on the draft performance work statement, has been formally closed, and no contract will be awarded from that market research notice
