Description

1. Description of the Need The 96th Test Systems Squadron (96 TSSQ) seek industry input on secure, scalable, and modernized approaches for test data management, long-term storage, and distributed access across the Eglin Gulf Test and Training Range (EGTTR). The Government is exploring solutions that support multi-caveat data environments up to and including PL3 and Special Access Program (SAP)-capable caveats. The objective is to establish a unified architecture that ensures secure ingestion, tagging, storage, retrieval, and controlled dissemination of test data across geographically distributed test nodes. This announcement serves as a REQUEST FOR INFORMATION(RFI) only for the purpose of market research in accordance with (IAW) Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 10. This RFI is issued for planning purposes only and is not a Request for Proposal (RFP), an Invitation for Bid (IFB), or an obligation on the part of the U.S. Government to acquire any products or services. IAW Revolutionary FAR 15.101(c)(2), responses to this RFI are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. The Government will not reimburse respondents for any costs associated with the preparation or submission of the information requested. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the responding party s expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if issued. The Government reserves the right to reject or disregard, in whole or in part, any contractor s input resulting from this RFI. This RFI does not constitute a solicitation for the proposals or the authority to enter into negotiations to award a contract. The information provided may be used by the Government in developing and acquisition strategy, a statement of work (SOW), statement of objectives (SOO), or performance specifications. Any proprietary information or technology should be clearly marked. 2. Background and Statement of the Need Current test data storage and access mechanisms across EGTTR rely on legacy systems, isolated repositories, and inconsistent data handling processes. The objective is to establish a unified architecture that ensures secure ingestion, tagging, storage, retrieval, and controlled dissemination of test data across geographically distributed test nodes. The Government seeks to modernize this environment by enabling: - Secure, multi-caveat data storage and access (Protection Level (PL1) PL3, Secret, Special Access Program (SAP)-capable) - Distributed data availability across authorized test nodes - Role-based and attribute-based access control - Data tagging, lineage tracking, and lifecycle management - Long-term archival storage with rapid retrieval capabilities - Controlled cross-caveat data transfer mechanisms where authorized - Integration with existing tests, analysis, and mission systems Industry input is requested to refine architectural options, identif…
