About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center seeks to convert approximately 196 C-5M technical manuals totaling 101,000 pages from SGML to XML format, along with 60,000 illustrations to CGM format. The resulting effort will consist of approximately 50,000 data modules developed using a structured SSSN schema and meeting S1000D Version 4.1 and MIL-STD 3048B specifications. Responses to the RFI are due no later than April 6, 2020 and should demonstrate experience with SGML and XML data files, aircraft technical publications, and converting data between SGML and XML formats using S1000D specifications.
This requirement has been set aside for total small business concerns. The work will be performed over a four year period at contractor and government facilities, and will involve updating the C-5M work unit code manual with S1000D references and adhering to approximately 450 C-5M business rules. The contractor must validate all data modules against the business rules exchange module and meet functionality matrix specifications.
Notice text
The work will consist of approximately 196 Technical Manuals to be converted from SGML-tagged files to XML-tagged files following the S1000D Version 4.1 data module specifications. This amounts to approximately 101,000 pages in the current paper format. Additionally, approximately 60,000 illustrations will require conversion from current format (CALS, GIF, PDF, TIFF, JPEG, etc.) to a standard CGM format.
This effort will result in approximately 50,000 Data Modules. All data must be developed using a structured System, Sub System, Sub-Sub-System Numbering (SSSN) schema using MIL-STD-1808. The C-5M Work Unit Code Manual will require an update to include a reference for all SSSN codes to link to their respective Work Unit Codes. Approximately 450 C-5M S1000D Project Business Rules will be used, and if changed during the program, the contractor will be required to update the Business Rules. After verification of the data contained in each Data Module, the entire database will be required to be validated against a contractor-developed Business Rules Exchange (BREX) Data Module to ensure all Project Business Rules are met and the overall work meets all Functionality Matrix requirements.
