S2RC is proud to announce its recent award of an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract under the $975M Air Force Rapid Sustainment Office Multiple Award Contract (RO MAC) program.  

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Air Force Rapid Sustainment Office (RSO) mission is to optimize warfighter readiness by exploiting technologies to revolutionize sustainment operations within the United States Air Force (USAF). The RSO strives to accelerate the delivery of critical operational solutions to the Department of the Air Force (DAF) Sustainment Enterprise by positioning themselves to be the preeminent DoD solutionists that challenge conventional mindsets, push the boundaries of innovation, and generate concepts that solve problems at the speed of user need.

This contract enables the DAF to improve operational readiness and manage lifecycle sustainment costs of its weapon systems by rapidly identifying, integrating, and scaling emerging technologies in key technical focus areas such as advanced manufacturing, automation and robotics, advanced composites, corrosion prevention, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). Work will be performed globally, with completion expected by July 29, 2033.

S2RC’s proposal focused on key technical focus areas AI/ML, Data and Digital Environments, Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), and comprehensive Studies and Analyses.
