Engine Government Reference Architecture (eGRA) Request for Information Introduction THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY to understand industry approaches to propulsion system architecting and how best to evolve the government’s existing toolset to complement those approaches in current and future development.

This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes.

It does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future.

This RFI does not commit the U.S.

Government to contract for any supply or service.

Responders are advised that the U.S.

Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI.

Use of Reference Architectures has long been an established best practice in Systems Engineering.

In its revised Guidebook on Implementing Modular Open Systems Architectures in Weapon Systems[1], Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) recommends a broad range of systems engineering principles, including Reference Architectures, as key to developing and acquiring our increasingly complex systems-of-systems and families of systems.

The Propulsion Acquisition Division of the Air Force Lifecycle Management Center (AFLCMC/LPA) is implementing Government Reference Architectures (GRAs) as a component of its broader strategy to drive Digital Materiel Management (DMM) across the propulsion enterprise.

The Engine Government Reference Architecture (eGRA) is a key product of that strategy currently in active development.

The objectives of the eGRA are: To provide a standardized, consistent means to convey government requirements and receive vendor responses and data To provide a tool for management of the propulsion system at appropriate levels of detail for effective sustainment across the lifecycle To compleme...

Official solicitation and documents

The full solicitation, any attachments, and the actual submission instructions live on the official listing, not on this page. Oppward summarizes public record data; it does not host or mirror the source documents.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
