DESCRIPTION: The Army Contracting Command, in conjunction with Project Director Computer Hardware, Enterprise Software and Solutions (PD CHESS) issued a Request for Information (RFI) on 7 Feb 13 to obtain information from industry regarding the ability to provide IT services on behalf of the Department of the Army. Based on results of information received, the Government is considering several changes to the acquisition strategy for ITES-3S. The period of performance has been changed from a total performance of 5 years to a total performance of 9 years. In order to incentivize performance, the additional years are added to reflect the use of Award Term for additional option periods for the top performing prime contractors. The estimated value of services within the scope of this effort has changed from $11B - $15B to $20B - $25B. The NAICS code has been changed from 517110, Wired Telecommunications Carriers to 541519, Other Computer Related Services. There are several task areas listed below that were within scope of ITES-2S and could be utilized to create very specific task orders. These types of task orders created the potential of Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) issues under ITES-2S. Under ITES-3S these task areas will be considered incidental to the actual service being performed and will not be utilized to create individual task orders.
