Air Force Open Mission Systems Training and Outreach

The contract pertains to a training and outreach event focused on the Open Mission Systems (OMS) Architecture, scheduled for November 9-10, 2015.

This approach addresses key business needs such as reducing acquisition and life-cycle costs, minimizing risks in development and sustainment, and facilitating technology upgrades and capability enhancements in mission system architectures for weapon systems. The training is designed to help companies better position themselves for future opportunities by understanding how OMS supports flexible, innovative solutions in defense technology. Registration for the event is limited to U.S. citizens and capped at three attendees per company to ensure broad participation, with reservations accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. The event is categorized under the NAICS code 334511 and is managed by the Department of Defense office at Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, DC.
