1.0 Description

1.1 The United States Air Force, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, AFLCMC/WVSS is seeking information from interested companies with the capability to deliver a data migration solution within the 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) platform. Previous efforts configured the application code to serve as a collaborations and approval platform to support the Government's migration to a digital-based acquisition program. The application integrates other supporting applications, including 3DX/Enovia for support of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Business activities, Cameo and Teamwork Cloud (TWC) for model-based systems engineering (MBSE) activities, and CATIA for computer aided design (CAD) functionality into a single environment.

1.2 THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes; it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Further, the Air Force is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Responders are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party’s expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website and the www.beta.sam.gov website. It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor these sites for additional information pertaining to this requirement.

2.0 Background

The United States Air Force (“Government” or “Customer”) is executing a digital engineering approach to program execution guided by the “e-Program” Digital Engineering criteria set forth in the Digital Building Code published by SAF/AQ on 3 May 2021.
