Notice of Intent to Sole Source CAMEO Training

The Department of the Air Force has published a Notice of Intent to Sole Source CAMEO training to PivotPoint, a professional development training opportunity posted on March 3, 2026. This special notice indicates the government's intention to award a contract for Cameo Systems Modeler training services without conducting competitive bidding. The contracting activity is ACC-PKJ AMMIC, and the opportunity is categorized under professional and management development training services. The sole-source justification document has been provided for public review, and interested parties have until March 18, 2026 to submit comments or challenges to the proposed sole-source award.

The Air Force seeks official training services for Cameo Systems Modeler, a mandated tool for complex systems engineering and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) efforts that supports government operations in aerospace, defense, and engineering sectors. The training will cover specialized topics including system validation, traceability, requirements management, integration with other systems engineering tools, and advanced simulation features. PivotPoint has been determined as the only vendor authorized and certified by No Magic, Inc.—the exclusive developer of Cameo Systems Modeler—to deliver the required tailored, tool-specific training addressing proprietary features and government mission requirements. The government conducted market research evaluating alternative vendors including Atego, Sparx Systems, and Dassault Systemes but found no competition feasible given No Magic, Inc.'s exclusive certifying authority. While contractors cannot directly compete for this opportunity, the notice period allows for submission of feedback regarding the sole-source determination prior to contract award.
