Installation Service Node Modernization (ISN-M)

The Department of the Air Force, specifically the AFLCMC HNK C3IN office, is conducting market research through this pre-solicitation notice to identify industry best practices and innovative solutions for the Installation Service Node Modernization initiative. The primary objective of this Information Technology project is to bring two disparate, physically and functionally separate network infrastructures into architectural parity by developing a single, modern technical framework applied across both systems. This initiative aims to optimize performance, enhance security, and improve reliability while achieving operational efficiencies and cost savings.

The government is seeking information regarding vendor capabilities and experience in planning and executing complex network consolidation projects. This requirement is classified under PSC DG01 IT and Telecom - Network Support Services (Labor). Performance is centered at Hanscom AFB, MA, under solicitation number ISN-M-RFI2026. The information gathered from this research will be used to refine requirements and inform future strategy, though this request does not constitute a formal solicitation or a commitment to award a contract.

Responses for this market research are due by May 8, 2026, and the primary point of contact is Kathleen Delgado. The notice includes three attachments: a vendor questions and responses Excel file updated on May 4, 2026; a cover page PDF; and a Statement of Objectives PDF, both published on April 9, 2026. This Request for Information is for planning purposes to identify potential partners with the expertise necessary to meet the project goals.
