About this opportunity
The Department of Defense (DoD) has issued a Special Notice for the Department of Defense End-to-End Framework for Enhanced Innovative Capability Development (DEFEND) Software System. This opportunity is being managed by the Washington Headquarters Services Acquisition Directorate (WHS/AD).
The purpose of this Special Notice is to conduct market research and gather information from industry to assist the government in developing an integrated digital engineering architecture and ecosystem of models and simulations (E-MS) for DoD capability development. The key objectives are to capture DoD requirements for the E-MS, apply an existing E-MS to explore DoD capability development, and establish how to develop and integrate a government-owned E-MS within DoD's broader simulation architecture. Contractors are expected to demonstrate access to software and personnel expertise to support modeling and simulation across various engineering and operational levels, with an interoperable data transfer framework. Responses are due by October 4, 2024, and the government will not provide any feedback or status updates to respondents. No solicitation is anticipated at this time.
Notice text
The Department of Defense Instruction 5000.88 Engineering of Defense Systems references analytic products implicitly produced using an integrated digital engineering architecture that does not exist. The Government requires the contractor to explore application of the contractor capability (models, simulations, SME elicitation methods and software, and processes) to the Government’s area of interest for materiel capability development, and then to assess what steps are necessary to transition the contractor capability into being a Governmental one. Please see the RFI Notice Attachment for further details and submission instructions.
No questions or phone calls will be accepted concerning this RFI Notice. All firms responding to this RFI are advised the Government will not provide feedback to firms with respect to any information submitted, or provide any follow-up or status information well after the deadline of this RFI.
