13 May 2022- Offerors are reminded that proposals must be RECIEVED by the submission deadline of 4:00pm Eastern Standard Time, 16 May 2022. Delays in email systems or DOD SAFE may render a proposal late if not recieved in time, regardless of when the submission was sent.

9 May 2022- With regard to the scrolling feature on fillable text fields of the Proposal Response Guide, offerors may utilize this feature on the "Government Office Information" and "Glossary of Terms and Acronyms" fields, if necessary.

3 May 2022- Some of the fillable fields in the Proposal Response Guide may automatically create a scroll bar if the text box becomes full, inadvertently allowing text to extend beyond the allocated page length. BE ADVISED-- Any text extending beyond the allocated page will not be evaluated, so do not exploit that feature.

3 May 2022- To clarify the impact of Common Synthetic Training Environment (CSTE) Consortium's cancellation with regard to the AFLCMC/ XA MAC IDIQ: A CSTE Consortium delivery order is no longer being considered at this time. This does not impact AFLCMC/XA's pursuit of this solicitation, and the ceiling amount is not impacted.

27 April 2022- Update to Q&As posted 22 April- Offerors may utilize a cover page on Volumes II, III, and IV. An updated Q&A document will not be posted for this change. No other changes at this time.

22 April 2022 - An amendment to the solicitation has been posted along with an editable version of the SF33 document, an updated Section L (Attachment 2), and an updated Proposal Response Guide (PRG, Attachment 4). A Q&A document including answers to all questions received to date has also been uploaded. The proposal response due/date time has not changed as a result of this RFP amendment. The superceded versions of each document have been deleted from this notice.

31 March 2022 - The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Architecture & Integration Directorate's (AFLCMC/XA) mission is to work with the requirements community and S&T/Industry to analyze gaps, requirements, missions, threats, and technologies and to develop systems or solutions to address warfighter needs while launching high confidence programs. AFLCMC/XA activities include Modeling, Simulation & Analysis (MS&A), Capability Development/Development Planning (CD-DP), Cost Analysis/Trades, Technical Risk Reduction/Test Engineering, Standards and Architecture Development and Curation, Software Development and Curation, and Advanced Synthetic/Virtual Simulator Environments Development for Operational Test and Training.

AFLCMC/XA will support future operations by leveraging the Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) to rapidly contract for a variety of capabilities across the portfolio. The work is not envisioned for singular use, rather an enabler for multi-domain, multi-level security development, analysis, and synthetic environments. See attached documentation for the full details of this solicitation.
