Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) Cost Estimation and Program Management

The contract requires the submission of rough order of magnitude cost estimates for an avionics modernization program, structured by project phase, with a notional schedule outlining key milestones and timelines. The estimation must include a detailed risk discussion that identifies potential cost drivers, technical challenges, and programmatic uncertainties that could impact budget accuracy and schedule adherence. All deliverables are intended to support informed planning and decision-making within the defense aviation modernization initiative, with a focus on providing scalable and reliable financial projections for future funding cycles. Performance of this subcontract is centered in NIBLEY, with all analyses and reports to be delivered by the response deadline of November 3, 2026. The work falls under NAICS code 541611, indicating it involves management consulting services tied to military systems engineering and program planning. The contracting activity is managed by the Department of Defense through the FA8220 Aflcmc Wndt office, and the effort is part of a broader effort to systematize cost estimation practices across avionics upgrade programs. No set-asides are specified, and submission must align with the technical expectations of the DoD for accurate, transparent, and well-documented cost modeling.
