The Department of the Air Force’s Rapid Sustainment Office seeks research and development for a unified modeling and simulation environment for hybrid- and multi-cloud data analytics systems. - Government buyer: Department of the Air Force, Rapid Sustainment Office (RSO); the opportunity is associated with the U.S. Air Force and Air Force Materiel Command. - Requested solution: An executable modeling framework combining FinOps and model-based systems engineering (MBSE), using SysML or an equivalent open standard, to assess system designs across cloud and disconnected on-premise environments. - Key capabilities: Forecast lifecycle costs, resource consumption, operational performance, and security; integrate telemetry; and support behavioral prediction and multi-objective optimization. - Demonstration and maturity: Validate the solution in an operationally representative RSO condition-based maintenance plus (CBM+) scenario, with Phase II targeting Technology Readiness Level 6. - Deliverables: Technical data package, system documentation, interface control descriptions, operator and administrator training materials, an executable training plan, and collaborative engineering support for government personnel. - OEMs and vendors: No OEMs, vendors, product brands, part numbers, or purchase quantities are identified. - Notable requirements: The solution must address hybrid-cloud and disconnected on-premise operations and enable government engineers and A&AS personnel to operate, extend, and sustain the tool chain. The notice specifies CMMC Level 2 (Self).
Description
The topic seeks a unified model for specification and simulation to design, acquire, and sustain a hybrid- or multi-cloud large-scale data analytics system. The system is intended to balance cost, performance, modularity, and security. This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Direct to Phase 2 topic for the USAF. Proposals are due January 6, 2027.
