Open Call for Innovative Defense-Related Dual-Purpose Technologies/Solutions with a Clear Air Force Stakeholder Need

Proposed creation of a web-based marketplace for Air Force buyers ("Buyers") to be able to find, request quotes for and purchase products and services from accredited Air Force Small Business Concern sellers ("Sellers"). This marketplace will provide a single place where all Seller products and services can be found, detailed and promoted. Most notably, Buyers will be able to use an intuitive search and filtering mechanism to identify Phase III pre-award products and services, and once located, buy them directly, in a typical e-commerce fashion, using a government-issued payment card or MIPR. For non-Phase III products/services or those with a low TRL or other complexities, a quote request will exist instead of direct payment. Tooling will exist in the marketplace for Buyers and Sellers to communicate effectively before, during and after any purchase. Administrative overhead on the marketplace will be kept to a minimum, because of self-service capabilities for Sellers to be able to maintain an up-to-date catalog of their products and services.
