This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. NASA/NSSC has a requirement for a course entitled SysML Training. The objective of the training is for the employees at Ames Research Center to learn the essentials of the SysML language in the context of model-based engineering (MBE) and model-based systems engineering (MBSE). Participants shall learn how to develop, read, and understand SysML models using hands-on lab exercises. The vendor shall be responsible for providing all training materials for 40 participants to include both hard copies and electronic copies of the course content.The vendor shall also be responsible for providing 10 pre-configured laptops with all the required course software and 20 hard and electronic copies of the course content.

Shall include all nine SysML diagram types in a quick and easy-to-leam format. Shall include a consistent system modeling example presented throughout the course to better leam how SysML concepts and diagrams work together. Shall cover concepts in a tool-independent manner with a focus on how to interpret SysML models. Shall include hands-on course work where participants learn to implement SysML concepts using a representative tool. These skills are reinforced by implementing hands-on exercises and labs using the SysML For example, exercises shall include (i) employing SysML parametrics to perform calculations on system properties and verify requirements, and (ii) utilizing SysML activities to operate a mobile robot during a team-based competition. Participants shall work through structured tutorial modules in class in order to expand their SysML model creation know-how. MBSE and SysML foundations, processes, tool introduction, structure concepts including block basics, instances, packages, block internals, ports and flows, block parametrics and simulation interoperability, use case and requirement development, behavior concepts including state machines, activities, actions, and interactions/sequences.
