Title: Army Modernization Protection (AMP): Prototype for Actionable Supply Chain Intelligence and Supplier Monitoring

This RFI is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or a promise to issue a solicitation in the future. Responses to this RFI are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. The Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI.

Statement of Need

• The U.S. Army requires a comprehensive, tailored five-course Digital Engineering (DE) Certificate training program to upskill its Engineering Technical Management (ETM) workforce. This training is essential to support the newly established Product Manager for Army Systems Engineering & Architecture (PdM ASEA). PdM ASEA serves as the Army’s mechanism to replace legacy, manual data systems with a living, authoritative "digital thread" that directly connects engineering requirements to real-time battlefield effects.

• This curriculum must align with DoD Instruction 5000.97 to prepare DoD civilian and military acquisition professionals to successfully acquire, manage, and oversee next-generation, digitally engineered defense systems.

Service Description

To ensure mission success, all proposed professional services, curricula and instructional delivery must strictly match the attached service description.

Objectives:

• Enable PdM ASEA

Prepare personnel to support the Product Manager for Army Systems Engineering & Architecture (PdM ASEA) in building a real-time, authoritative “digital thread” that replaces manual, disconnected data systems

• Bridge the Skills Gap

Provide scalable instruction tailored for both technical leaders and personnel with non-technical backgrounds within the acquisition community.

• Modernize Defense Acquisition

Train DoD civilian and military acquisition professionals to effectively specify, acquire, manage, and oversee next-generation defense systems using Digital Engineering (DE) and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).

• Integrate Secure, Emerging Tech

Embed critical Cybersecurity protections and Artificial Intelligence (AI) design capabilities directly into the systems engineering lifecycle.

Required Capability Delivery:

• Digital Engineering & Governance

Instruction on the application of Digital Engineering (DE), Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), and engineering data management across the defense acquisition lifecycle.

• Technical Risk Reduction

Training on how to specify, evaluate, and manage digital engineering capabilities to improve interoperability, reduce technical risk, and accelerate acquisition timelines.

• Strategic Framework

Alignment with the DoD’s Digital Engineering Strategy, DE Glidepath, and the broader Digital Engineering Ecosystem.

• Secure Lifecyle Management

Integration of critical Cybersecurity considerations to protect mission assets, processes, and systems across the capability lifecycle.

• Emerging Tech Integration

Practical exploration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a system design capability, tactical force multiplier, and staff knowledge accelerator.

Instructions for Response

• Please provide a capability statement addressing the above questions.

• Include relevant past performance, technical approach, and any available product literature.

• Responses should be unclassified and submitted in PDF format.

• Submit responses via email to Lindsay Vierheller and Nekeya Sanders no later than 12 August 2026.

• Please include your company name, point of contact, NAICS code and PSC.
