This action will result in a Task Order awarded simultaneously with the VDC IDIQ: Solicitation Number RFP-CMS-2010-XXXX ***NOTICE No. 2*** The Response Date listed above refers to the RSVP instructions for the VDC Industry Day. This solicitation will be issued in accordance with FAR Part 15. CMS plans to issue the solicitation as a full and open competition. CMS is structuring and Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to acquire its Virtual Data Center (VDC) framework. The primary objective of the VDC is to provide Information Technology (IT) infrastructure and services to operate CMS business systems and to safeguard its data. To these ends, CMS requires that ALL VDC contractors have the resources and knowledge to deliver ALL of the services described below. • Application Hosting Services for applications requiring Z/OS, LINUX, UNIX and Windows computing capabilities and for applications requiring mainframe computing capabilities. • Resource-Based Enterprise Services for engineering and program management staff to support CMS-specific activities as it relates to data center operations and governance. • Telecommunications and Networking Services for engineering and administration of phone systems, data communications networks. • Disaster Recovery/COOP Services for supporting high availability and backup/recovery for the Production Systems. • Enterprise Security Services, for implementing, monitoring and reporting of security protocol across the full spectrum of services provided by the VDC Contractor. CMS will use a performance-based contractor oversight model for the VDC contractors. It will be the responsibility of the VDC contractors to ensure successful delivery of IT Infrastructure services, to provide CMS with visibility into operations and to collaborate with CMS and other CMS contractors as required ensuring seamless operations within the VDC. In turn, it will be the role of CMS to provide oversight to ensure that VDC contractor are delivering agreed upon services, to ensure that business requirements are clearly communicated and satisfied, and to provide timely feedback relative to contractor performance. CMS and the VDC contractors will closely collaborate on IT planning, including service and capacity planning, strategic and tactical planning, and IT resource and budget planning. CMS believes that this combination of Industry knowledge, government oversight and collaboration will result in success for all parties. To these ends, CMS is developing the VDC ID/IQ that will merge the current data center workloads under a single contractual vehicle. Subsequent Task Orders stemming from the VDC ID/IQ will be executed to procure IT services necessary to support the VDC framework. CMS will hold an "Industry Day" Webinar on October 4, 2010.
