How to follow the ARCTICS II industry day with the Air Force
What the Air Force is sharing
The Department of the Air Force held a virtual industry day about the Alaska Range Combat Training Integrated Communications and Support (ARCTICS) II program. The event was intended to explain the program and government expectations and answer questions from potential industry partners.
The notice says briefing slides and a recording transcript are attached. This is an industry-day notice, not a request for proposals, so it does not provide instructions for submitting a bid.
Dates and deadline
The virtual event took place on October 22, 2026. Questions for the event were due October 19, 2026, at 12:00 HST.
The listing gives a deadline of November 17, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET, but the notice does not explain what happens at that deadline. The October 27 update says responses to questions received would be forthcoming.
Who may find this relevant
This opportunity may interest companies that could support the ARCTICS II program and want to understand the Air Force’s stated expectations. The notice identifies the category as professional and gives Eielson AFB, Alaska, as the location.
The notice asked interested companies to provide their company name, NAICS, business type, and point-of-contact information to register for the event.

Prepare for any later solicitation
Use the slides and transcript to note the program’s stated expectations, important terms, and unanswered questions. Keep a record of details that may affect your company’s ability to participate.
If a separate solicitation is issued, read its instructions closely and follow its stated requirements and deadlines. Do not treat information from the industry day as binding: the notice says the information reflects current intent and requirements may change.
