Description

The Department of the Air Force is seeking whitepapers for a multi-year, phased prototype project under 10 U.S.C. § 4022 to scan complex test facilities and develop engineering-grade, high-fidelity digital twins. The base phase covers the Von Karman Gas Dynamics Facility Yard and Plant, with four option phases scaling the methodology across additional facilities. Required capabilities include dense facility scanning; survey-controlled registration to at least ±1/4-inch accuracy; Autodesk Revit models at LOD 350, with LOD 400 desired for primary connection points; Autodesk Plant 3D intelligent process models for piping, pressure systems, and testing infrastructure; deviation-analysis heat maps; federated models; virtual walkthroughs; metadata integration; training; and live prototype demonstrations. Deliverables include native authoring files, 2D drawings, registered point clouds, IFC and E57 files, and quality-control documentation. Responses must address technical competency, intellectual property and unlimited data rights, statutory eligibility under 10 U.S.C. § 4022(d), milestone-based pricing and scheduling, cybersecurity and CUI protection, CONUS-only performance, U.S.-citizen personnel capable of obtaining CAC or DBIDS access, and operational strategies that avoid disrupting active testing. The whitepaper is limited to 20 pages, excluding the cost proposal, cover page, table of contents, and statutory compliance certifications, and must use at least 11-point font. The Government will evaluate technical merit, program management and risk, scalability, cost realism, and cybersecurity compliance, including CMMC Level 2 self-assessment standards.
