The Air Force Petroleum Office (AFPET/PTPL) is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Air Force Test and Analysis Tool (AFTAT) IT program update, focusing on converting its interface to a full HTML5 format while upgrading the technology platform to STARLIMS 12.7. The AFTAT system provides critical real-time data for various aviation operations and currently operates through an outdated XFD interface, restricting accessibility. Vendors are required to offer comprehensive support across project management, system analysis, technical support, and validation related to this conversion. Experience with AFTAT and STARLIMS, specifically 500 direct labor hours, is mandatory for staff working on the project. Key tasks include planning, upgrading existing technologies, converting client scripts, testing, providing training, and on-site support during the go-live phase. All upgrades must meet USAF cybersecurity standards, and contractors will report quarterly on progress. Notably, no security clearance is needed for staff due to remote work requirements, with some on-site travel to Wright-Patterson AFB for testing and support anticipated. This initiative reflects the Air Force's goal to enhance data accessibility and operational efficiency.

The Air Force Petroleum Office (AFPET/PTPL) at Wright-Patterson AFB has issued a Performance Work Statement for the Air Force Test and Analysis Tool (AFTAT) that involves an upgrade to the STARLIMS technology platform and conversion to a full HTML 5 interface. This project aims to provide users with real-time access to quality data generated from various support tests without requiring file downloads. Vendors must possess STARLIMS programming experience to manage system analysis, programming, testing, and training to ensure functionality during the upgrade. The scope encompasses program management, client script conversion, verification of upgrades, and extensive training support. An essential requirement is adherence to USAF cybersecurity standards, along with regular reporting on milestone progress. The contractor will primarily work remotely but will need to attend on-site activities for testing and support at the Wright-Patterson facility. This project demonstrates the strategic move towards modernizing Air Force IT systems to improve operational efficiency and accessibility.

The document outlines a solicitation with a focus on an upcoming project related to the STARLIMS system for the Air Force, which is available for small businesses through SAM.gov. The anticipated period of performance is 9-12 months, with a preference for completion within a year. Key components include a "hypercare" phase for system support post-upgrade, evaluation criteria for past performance, and a requirement for compliance with cybersecurity frameworks such as RMF. The existing system is cloud-based in the Azure Gov Cloud IL-4 environment, with approximately 1500 expected end users post-upgrade. The project may involve data migration depending on changes between software versions, and any licenses necessary for performance must be priced in proposals. The contract will be awarded as a Firm Fixed Price, and travel costs for limited on-site visits should also be included. The document emphasizes a close contractor-government collaboration to manage project timelines and expectations effectively.
