- Description
- The Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center, located in Monterey, California, (Fleet Numerical) collects, interprets, and applies global atmospheric and oceanographic data and information in support of strategic and tactical warfare and peace-keeping initiatives. Fleet Numerical is the Department of Defense's (DoD) principal operational processing center for automated numerical meteorological and oceanographic (METOC) analyses and predictions. Fleet Numerical provides around-the-clock operational oceanographic and meteorological support. Fleet Numerical consists of supercomputer systems that run the numerical atmospheric/oceanographic models and other systems, including clusters, which provide data communications, pre- and post- processing, derived applications and web services. Historically, High Performance Computing (HPC) has been the backbone of the Analysis and Modeling Subsystem (AMS). AMS was decoupled from the Applications, Transactions and Observations (ATOS) layer of the infrastructure due to constraints in the state of computing. Advances in computing architectures now allow the consolidation of AMS and ATOS into a common architecture, i.e., A2. The attached performance work statement (PWS) provides a framework of the tasks to be performed: technical engineering and system design support for a variety of system architecture tasks, including computer systems, disk subsystems, networks, archive subsystems, security, information assurance and overall end-to-end systems design to achieve a consolidated architecture. The goal of A2 transition is to consolidate the AMS and ATOS into a common architecture. The Government requires services for systems engineering, design, and technology investigation tasks to adopt and integrate new technology into Fleet Numerical's operational workflow. Services are also required to provide engineering support expertise and architect services required to ensure the transition to A2 equipment. This implementation will provide for improvement of all current operational subsystems at Fleet Numerical. It will also ensure adequate evaluation of potential future systems and the planning of their transition into Fleet Numerical's current and future operational architecture, when and where appropriate. The purpose of this request for information is to seek information on companies and personnel with capabilities to meet the requirements in the attached Performance Work Statement and questionnaire. Vendor should identify if the applicable services are available via GSA schedules and / or some other existing contractual vehicle; please provide schedule and / or contract number. TIMELINE:December 21st - Noon (Eastern time), December 28th: Submission of questions by vendorsJanuary 5th: Government to provide replies to questionsJanuary 11th: Vendor submissions due Interested parties shall provide questions and submissions via email to the Contract Specialist.
