    The Department of the Air Force has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for CNC Machine Simulation Software, indicated by Notice ID FA8228-25-Q-0004. The aim is to acquire three licenses of simulation software enabling the 309th CMXG Engineering team to virtually simulate CNC programs before actual execution. The software must accurately replicate various CNC machines, including specific models from manufacturers like OKUMA and MAZAK, and must function independently of CAD data, relying exclusively on G&M code for simulation. Requirements include detailed toolpath visualization, real-time synchronization of the programming interface, collision detection, and comprehensive setup instructions. It must support integration with Siemens NX and be user-friendly for machinists on the shop floor. The contractor will deliver the software to Hill Air Force Base and provide a training manual. Proposals are due by December 6, 2024, and must meet specific submission criteria, including pricing and company qualifications. The government seeks a firm-fixed-price purchase agreement without annual maintenance fees and requires technical support. This solicitation is part of the government's procurement process aimed at enhancing operational efficiency through advanced CNC simulation technology.
