How to bid on MABSM Sustainment & Implementation Services for the Dept of Defense
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Department of Defense is seeking information from companies that can provide sustainment and implementation services for its MABSM system. MABSM is a highly customized enterprise resource planning (ERP) and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) system. It tracks critical assets like aircraft parts, financial transactions, and nuclear weapons-related materials.
This system is mission-critical and operates within the Department of the Air Force's Cloud 1 environment, requiring specialized contractors familiar with secure cloud infrastructure and DevSecOps frameworks. The system demands high uptime and real-time accountability for sensitive items, making this an opportunity for firms with robust technical capabilities in secure, customized ERP/MRO systems.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This is a Request for Information (RFI), not a solicitation for bids. The deadline for submitting your capability information is October 08, 2026, at 6:00 PM ET. This date will not be extended.
By this deadline, interested parties must submit their responses, which will help the government determine if this effort can be competitive or set aside for small businesses. There will be no extensions to this deadline.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for technology firms specializing in highly customized ERP and MRO systems, particularly those with experience in secure cloud environments (DoD Impact Level 4/5) and DevSecOps frameworks. Experience with real-time tracking of critical assets and integration with legacy DoD systems is also highly relevant.
The contemplated NAICS codes are 541513 (Computer Facilities Management Services) or 541519 (Other Computer Related Services). Companies should assess their size status under these codes. The government is also exploring the possibility of a total Small Business Set-Aside, making this particularly relevant for small businesses in these categories.
How to respond
To respond, you need to provide specific information about your company and capabilities. Your response must be limited to no more than 10 pages. Include your Company Name, Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code, and contact information for your point of contact(s).
Indicate your size status based on NAICS Code 541513 or 541519. Confirm if you are registered in SAM.gov and WAWF. If you disagree with the suggested NAICS codes, provide your alternative suggestion. You should also include any authorized distributor letters for non-manufactured items if applicable, and any documentation supporting your business's capability to meet the requirements. Submit all responses and any questions to Hannah Rearick or Nate Littlewood via email by the deadline.
Practical tips for preparing a competitive response
Since this is an RFI, focus on clearly demonstrating your firm's ability to meet the specific technical requirements outlined. Highlight your experience with highly customized ERP/MRO systems, especially those with extensive code changes and complex interface logic. Emphasize any past work within secure cloud environments, particularly DoD Cloud 1, and your familiarity with DevSecOps frameworks.
Address the critical performance requirements, such as maintaining high system uptime and ensuring real-time accountability for sensitive materials. Provide concrete examples or case studies that illustrate your expertise in these areas. Ensure your response is concise and directly addresses all requested information within the 10-page limit. Double-check that all contact information and registrations are current and accurate.
