Description
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is conducting market research for an Interactive Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Training Platform. The agency seeks vendor input on developing a high‑fidelity, 3‑D, immersive virtual training environment that enables inspectors to perform plant walk‑downs, view P&IDs, and simulate process flows and safety scenarios. Respondents must provide company profile, technical capability, curriculum design approach, cybersecurity and data‑rights strategy, past performance, and a rough order‑of‑magnitude (ROM) timeline and pricing model. The RFI does not constitute a procurement; PHMSA may later invite select vendors for virtual demos.
• Desired solution: digital twin/VR training platform for LNG facilities.
• Scope: 5‑10 high‑complexity modules, cloud‑based or FedRAMP‑compatible deployment.
• Information requested: company size, technical experience, COTS vs. custom approach, curriculum mapping to 49 CFR Part 193, cybersecurity posture, IP/licensing, past projects, ROM timeline and cost structure.
• Submission: electronic response to Loni Chinn by September 28 2026; max 20 pages of technical content.
• No award or funding is guaranteed; the RFI is for market research only.
