THIS IS A NONAPPROPRIATED FUND (NAF) COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION AND FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION (FAR) RULES DO NOT APPLY. THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT FOR SET-ASIDES. NO FURTHER INFORMATION WILL BE PROVIDED OTHER THAN WHAT IS STATED BELOW.

This is a NAF purchase, and it does not obligate appropriated funds of the United States Government. This purchase does not involve federal tax dollars. This solicitation and subsequent award are in accordance with the NAF Standard Clauses (30 May 2025). The FAR clauses and provisions do not apply to NAF purchases.

This solicitation is being issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ) with an assigned solicitation number of F41999-26-Q-0055. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. The Government is not obligated to and will not pay for quotes received as a result of this announcement.

Air Force Materiel Command’s Air Force Services Center (AFSVC), headquartered at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, provides critical support to military personnel and their families through Department of the Air Force (DAF) Nonappropriated Fund Instrumentalities (NAFI) across enterprise Services programs, including food, fitness, childcare, lodging, and recreation. AFSVC is responsible for developing programs, managing support functions, and responding to high-level inquiries. Merchant card processing is vital to AFSVC’s operations, accounting for ~90% of its transaction revenue. However, current merchant processing practices are not fully compliant with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), posing risk to the security of Department of Defense connected consumer payment card data.

Your company is invited to submit a price quote to achieve a proactive, centrally governed security posture that provides Air Force Services Center (AFSVC) with full visibility into the cardholder data environment, ensures long-term verifiable PCI DSS compliance, and empowers local personnel for self-sufficient operation. AFSVC is seeking expert technical support to advance its PCI DSS compliance strategy. The Air Force Nonappropriated Fund Procurement Office (AFNAFPO) intends to award a Firm-Fixed Price contract to the offeror whose quote is the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). Place of Performance is JBSA Lackland, TX 78236 USA.

There is always a possibility that no award will be made as a result of this solicitation. Potential quoters will not be compensated for any costs associated with the preparation of quotes. Potential quoters are requested to keep quotes valid for a minimum of 120 days.
