The proposed acquisition will award one or more Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to provide SR&M services supporting a variety of systems and equipment in order to keep the covered DISA facilities online and operational in a continuous manner, to maximize the supporting system & equipment lifecycles, and to minimize the operating cost and environmental impact of these datacenters while providing assured levels of redundancy and reliability in support of their critical missions. DISA currently operates two (2) datacenter facilities in Germany currently (Sites A & B), and expects to be operating a third (3rd) site (Site C) during 2012. The current responsibilities of DISA with respect to ownership of SR&M services at each site vary, and are expected to morph as DISA gains more operational control over each facility. This contract shall provide the flexibility to provide increasing levels of support as the operational situation at each facility changes. These services may be provided in multiple European Union (EU) countries during the lifecycle of the contract. The Service Provider shall provide SR&M services to support DISA facilities operating in Europe. These SR&M services shall primarily consist of: • Scheduled recurring Preventative Maintenance (PM) of installed equipment and systems. • Ongoing scheduled recurring Operations (PM) of covered equipment, to ensure continuous availability and correct operation • Scheduled recurring Predictive Maintenance (PdM) of installed equipment and systems. • Unscheduled Emergency Maintenance (EM) of installed equipment and systems. • Unscheduled Repairs (EM/TR) to installed equipment and systems. • Operational Modifications (TR) in support of ongoing and changing mission requirements. SR&M services shall be provided, when ordered, on the following types of installed equipment and systems at the covered DISA facilities: • Mechanical plant systems (i.e., chillers, pumps, piping distribution systems, computer room air conditioners, split system/DX air conditioners, air handling units, condenser cooling towers, fan coil units, and similar). • Electrical plant systems (i.e., uninterruptible power systems (UPS), transformers, switchgear, and similar) • Electrical distribution systems (i.e., power distribution units (PDU), power panels, power ‘whips', modular power distribution units (MPDUs, a.k.a. ‘power strips'), automatic transfer switches (ATS), and similar) • Emergency power generation systems (i.e., motor/generator sets, fuel supply tanks, pumps, leak detection equipment, switchgear, and similar) • Ancillary supporting systems (i.e., building automation systems (BAS), battery monitoring systems (BMS), leak detection systems, hydrogen detection systems, environmental monitoring systems, and similar) • Facility structural systems (i.e., walls, floors, ceilings, doors, cable distribution systems, air distribution duct systems, and similar) • Installed equipment (i.e., personal property) systems and equipment All equipment, systems, and personal and real property located at a covered site may have SR&M services provided under this contract. This will be a performance-based contract. Specific services, frequencies, and methodologies, beyond a minimum level, are not provided. The Service Provider will be responsible for ensuring that the contract Performance Thresholds are achieved. In general, these will address keeping the facility systems and equipment fully operational on a continuous basis, providing emergency maintenance and/or repair support within designated timelines to restore facility, system, or equipment availability, and ensuring an outstanding professional and technical relationship is developed and maintained to allow the successful provision of all services. Performance-based service level requirements shall be based on the current DISA Computing Services Facilities Standards (CSI 360-95-3) and TIM, the Enterprise Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Services Standard (CSI 360-95-3A).
