Engine Government Reference Architecture (eGRA) RFI
Solicitation # FA8626_eGRA_RFI
The Engine Government Reference Architecture (eGRA) is a government-developed initiative by the Air Force Lifecycle Management Center aimed at standardizing propulsion system requirements and data exchange through a model-based reference architecture, supporting broader Digital Materiel Management goals. This Request for Information seeks industry feedback on eGRA Release 2, a minimum viable product built in Cameo Enterprise Architecture 2024x, and the accompanying Digital Engineering Style Guide, both classified as Controlled Unclassified Information. Access is restricted to organizations with active USAF contracts and appropriate CUI handling capabilities; responders must provide their CAGE code to receive the materials. The government is not soliciting proposals or making procurement commitments, and no payment will be made for response costs. Feedback is requested on how eGRA aligns with or conflicts with industry modeling practices, its utility in linking requirements to architecture elements, and its potential to streamline future procurement efforts, with responses due by 24 August 2026. Respondents may submit written white papers up to ten pages or schedule a 30-minute oral presentation at the Turbine Engine Technology Symposium in September 2026, where dedicated workshops and one-on-one engagement opportunities will also be available. All submissions must avoid marketing content and clearly mark any proprietary information, as all responses become government property and will not be returned. The government emphasizes strict handling of proprietary and CUI data under legal protections including the Economic Espionage Act and Trade Secrets Act, with contractor personnel bound by nondisclosure agreements. Industry input is critical to ensure eGRA evolves into a practical, widely adopted tool for lifecycle management of propulsion systems, and future releases may expand access to organizations not currently eligible. Questions should be directed to the designated technical and contracting officers via email.
