Request for Information (RFI) & Sources Sought (pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulations- Part 5) Interactive Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) Training Platform Development Issued By: Department of Transportation | Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) Date of Issue: September 9, 2026 Response Deadline: September 28, 2026 SIC/Product Service Code: 7373 Computer Integrated Systems NAICS Code: 541511 Custom Computer Programming Services 1. Introduction The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is seeking information from interested parties and potential vendors regarding the development of an Interactive LNG Training Platform. The interactive, virtual LNG plant training platform should allow users to perform virtual plant walkdowns, review piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), and visualize process flows through the internal components of critical machinery (e.g., valves, vessels, pumps, compressors). This RFI is intended for market research purposes only and supports ongoing agency acquisition planning aligned with modern federal procurement principles. 2. Project Background and Goals PHMSA is committed to enhancing the safety and oversight of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facilities. The objective of this project is to create a digital, high-fidelity, and interactive training environment that allows inspectors to simulate complex operational scenarios and safety inspections. Key goals include: Improving technical competency in LNG facility oversight. Utilizing 3D immersive technologies and digital twin capabilities to bridge the gap between classroom and field. Creating a scalable, modular curriculum that evolves with regulatory standards. Maximizing the leverage of commercial solutions and modern cloud infrastructure. 3. Key Information Requested PHMSA requests that interested respondents provide detailed information on the following categories: 3.1 Company Profile & Administrative Information Please complete the following table to assist PHMSA in market research and business size determination: Company Name Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) CAGE Code Socioeconomic Business Size (e.g., SDVOSB, 8(a), WOSB, HUBZone, Small, Large) Point of Contact Information (Name, Email, Phone) [Vendor Name] [12-character UEI] [5-charac ter CAGE] t[Socioeconomic Status] [Name, Email, Phone] Small Business Capacity: If identified as a small business, please state whether your firm possesses the internal capacity and capability to perform as the prime contractor for a project of this scope or if teaming/subcontracting arrangements would be necessary. 3.2 Technical Capabilities & Innovation Describe your firm's experience in developing high-fidelity 3D simulations or "Digital Twins" for industrial facilities. What hardware and software requirements do you typically recommend for a platform of this scale? Explain your approach to ensuring interactivity and user engagement within a training module.
