The 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.

AFSVC is seeking Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance expert to review provided data and gap assessments related to DAF NAFI cardholder data environments to refine the PCI DSS scope, identify outstanding requirements to develop an expedited compliance path, and conduct the formal audit by end of FY26. Additionally, AFSVC requires a business expert to guide maturing and/or developing end-to-end business systems and processes related to merchant processing (see the attachment for Contractor Qualifications in the Statement of Objectives).
