AFWERX Prime Division is seeking information around potential contractors who could provide staffing  - highly specialized engineering, analysis, and programmatic support personnel, to aid in execution of AFWERX Prime’s unique mission. These contracted staff members would be primarily located in the Washington DC area in a hybrid remote/in person working arrangement with classified work driving in person activity. Work could be completed at an appropriate contractor facility or at the current USG facility. AFWERX Prime is interested in support for efforts across a few main categories - 

1. Advanced Concept Development, Modeling, and Analysis
2. Autonomous System design, Test, and Evaluation
3. Programmatic Execution Support and Analysis

The AFWERX mission set is unique in that a great focus is placed upon innovation, rapid acquisition and leverage of non-traditional, small business or first time defense contractors requiring a specific interest, aptitude and experience from staff. Clearances will be required for most positions. It is anticipated that a single firm may struggle to supply the complete component of specialized staff for this effort, as such multiple awards may be made.. This RFI expects to determine the best contract structure, availability and interest from industry in support of AFWERX Prime’s unique mission.
