    This Request for Information (RFI) from the United States Air Force seeks companies capable of delivering a data migration solution within the 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) platform. The Air Force is implementing a digital engineering approach and requires a solution to migrate various data types, including Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), model-based systems engineering (MBSE), and computer-aided design (CAD) data, into a unified 3DX environment. Responding companies are asked to submit a white paper by July 28, 2025, detailing their proposed data migration solution, team configuration, ability to handle application configuration, and any questions or suggestions. This RFI is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment to a future contract.
    The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) seeks technical and administrative support for its 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) platform, aligning with the DoD's digital engineering strategy. This effort, divided into two phases, focuses on establishing and maintaining an authoritative digital source of truth. Phase I involves data migration and supporting the 3DX Authority to Operate (ATO), including developing a data migration solution for various data types and providing user manuals. Phase II continues data migration upkeep, focusing on configuration, technical support, and user acceptance testing, along with providing full-time equivalent support for system administration, troubleshooting, and training. The contractor must adhere to stringent cybersecurity and security requirements, including personnel clearances up to Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) and compliance with DoD regulations like DoDI 8510.01 and the Cloud Computing Security Requirements Guide (SRG) V1R4. Deliverables include various reports, software updates, and documentation, ensuring secure and efficient digital engineering operations.
    This government RFI for a Data Migration project outlines a new requirement with no incumbent contractor. The project involves migrating 3DExperience data from on-premises systems operating on AWS GovCloud (IL5), AWS Secret (IL6), and AWS DAF Cloudworks (IL6+). The contractor will develop deployment pipelines and play a significant role in verification and validation (V&V) for both Phase I (data migration solution) and Phase II (quarterly build packages), including delivering a V&V Software Test Report. Contractor support in Phase II is required during core business hours, Monday to Friday. The contractor will act as a system administrator in all three environments for data migration and 3DExperience tasks, but not as the primary administrator. Application development in Phase II will extend beyond existing and out-of-the-box configurations. The solution will continue to utilize on-premises 3DExperience within the specified AWS cloud environments. Hanscom AFB will be the primary location for IL6 and IL6+ deliverables, with Top Secret clearance required at the contract
    The United States Air Force is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) regarding a data migration solution centered on the 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) platform. This RFI aims to gather input from companies capable of providing data migration services that integrate various applications, including Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), and Computer-Aided Design (CAD). It emphasizes the Air Force's digital engineering strategy, aiming to create a digital environment that supports enduring sources of truth across program lifecycles. Respondents are asked to submit white papers that address capabilities related to the data migration solution, team configurations, and their approach to app configuration tasks outlined in the attached Statement of Work (SOW). Additionally, the submission process specifies administrative information and requires timely responses by a set deadline. It is crucial to note that this RFI is purely for information and does not commit the Government to any contracting actions nor does it solicit proposals. Responses will become government property and will aid in future procurement decisions. Interested parties must monitor specific government websites for subsequent updates or announcements regarding potential Requests for Proposals (RFPs).
    The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) seeks contractors for Technical and Administrative Support for the 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) platform, aligning with the digital engineering approach promoted by the Department of Defense (DoD). The project consists of two phases: Phase I focuses on data migration and maintaining application functions, while Phase II involves further application configuration, end-user support, and remote administration at various security levels (IL-5, IL-6, and IL-6+). Contractors must have personnel secure appropriate clearances and provide system architecture design and deployment support. The tasks include establishing a helpdesk, delivering integrated schedules, and managing software updates, accompanied by comprehensive documentation. While ensuring compliance with cybersecurity requirements, contractors are responsible for a secure transition of data types, including proprietary formats and ensuring that digital threads are maintained. They must also adhere to rigorous security protocols for classified and sensitive information, implement Operations Security (OPSEC), and conduct user acceptance testing (UAT). Ultimately, this initiative underscores the Air Force's commitment to integrating advanced digital solutions into its operational infrastructure while ensuring alignment with DoD standards and practices for security and infrastructure management.
