**Identifier:** DAF27BZ02-DV023
**NAICS:** 541715, 541512

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.
