The intent of this sources sought notice is to determine if there small businesses that are qualified and capable of performing IT Production services at a fair market price for the U.S. Special Operations Command's (USSOCOM's) anticipated Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) Production - Tactical Local Area Network (TACLAN) contract. The USSOCOM Special Operations Research, Development, and Acquisition Center (SORDAC) in Tampa, FL, is seeking a Capability Statement from all qualified Small Businesses contractors. The TACLAN Program provides Special Operational Forces (SOF) operational commanders and forward deployed forces advanced automated data processing and display capabilities to support situational awareness, mission planning and execution, and command and control of forces. TACLAN provides the automation infrastructure and common-user applications to interconnect deployed SOF headquarters, main operating locations, tactical teams and liaison elements. Numerous joint, service, and SOF deployed automation programs/efforts operate on TACLAN to gain connectivity to SOF Information Environment (SIE) networks. TACLAN merges numerous deployed SOF automation efforts into a consolidated infrastructure program consisting of hardware and SOF validated software applications. The TACLAN program includes, but is not limited to,TACLAN Suites, Mission Planning Kits (MPKs) and Field Computing Devices (FCDs). Each TACLAN Suite consists of three easily transportable, multiple integrated networks; 60 general use laptops; 10 intelligence laptops; routers; and ancillary equipment used by SOF Command and Control Nodes, forming a deployed Local Area Network (LAN). MPKs consist of four general use laptops and ancillary equipment used by SOF teams for detailed mission planning support. FCDs are small handheld computing devices used by the most forward deployed SOF teams to automatically interface with the TACLAN suite via tactical communications. At a summary level, the anticipated scope for the TACLAN Production acquisition includes: * Production -- Program Planning and Management -- Product Design, Fabrication, Integration -- Systems Engineering and Technical Support >>> Market research >>> White papers >>> Analysis, testing, recommendations, and implementation of new technology -- Software Integration -- Test and Evaluation -- Configuration Management -- Information Assurance/Security Accreditation -- Quality Assurance -- Meeting/Conference Support * Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) -- ILS Plan -- Product Procurement -- Technical and Sustainment Support -- Warranty -- Provisioning and Spares -- Technical Manuals -- Training (New Equipment Training and Sustainment Training) -- Fielding and Total Asset Visibility (TAV) Support; Fielding Plans, Disposal Plans -- Software Licensing/Maintenance * Packaging, Handling, Storage, and Transportation The Government anticipates the TACLAN contractor will provide all personnel, facilities, materials, equipment, software and services necessary to perform the tasks outlined above.
