- Description
- The US Army Geospatial Center (AGC) has a requirement for Integration, Development and Support for the Combat Terrain Information System (CTIS) Program. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to determine if there are sources capable of satisfying the government's requirements. No proposals are being requested or accepted under this RFI. Feedback addressing the clarity, feasibility, scope, and potential alternative means of meeting the government's requirement is sought. The anticipated North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) for these requirements is 541519 Other Computer Related Services. The business size standard is $25.0M. Your response should identify your business size (large or small) in relation to this NAICS Code. Contractor personnel will require DoD security clearances at least at the SECRET level for key personnel. Handling of material up to a SECRET is required. SECRET Facility Clearance is required. Storage Clearances of at least the SECRET level are required. Capabilities Package: AGC is assessing the existence of sources and is requesting capability packages from industry on the requirements below. We are seeking a prime that must be capable of demonstrating at a minimum, items one (1) thru thirteen (13) below. The prime may employ partners to complete at least 90% of the remaining items and may employ these partners to complete the top thirteen (13) as well, as long as the ability to demonstrate the top thirteen (13) items on their own has been fully demonstrated. Interested Sources shall possess an in-depth understanding of the requirements listed below. Responses must be limited to no more than 25 pages and must address the following specific areas: 1). Knowledge and experience in developing Integrated Logistic Support (Logistics Maintainability Demostration, Verification &Validation, Instructor Key Personnel Training, Interactive ElectronicTechnical Manual, Training Materials, Safety Assessments) training programs, procedures and documentation of US Army Engineer Systems and Geospatial software (technical manuals and drawing packages) to support the setup and teardown of computer systems. 2). Knowledge and experience in Systems Engineering, Human Engineering, Software Development, and Software Integration (C Sharp.NET) to include the ability to develop custom code and the integration of multiple COTS and GOTS software packages with custom-code to meet system requirements. 3).
