The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this RFI or reimburse any costs associated with the preparation of responses to this RFI. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation. All information received in response to this RFI marked Proprietary will be handled accordingly. Responses to the RFI will not be returned. In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), responses to this RFI are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. A response to this RFI is necessary in order to assist this office in determining the potential levels of interest, competition, and technical capabilities within the large and small business community to provide the required capabilities. Background: The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Transaction Services continues to support spiral enhancements and ongoing sustainment activities of the Global Exchange Services (GEX) which supports the overall DoD and Federal initiative to provide a common set of tools and services to implement Electronic Commerce (EC) throughout the DoD and Federal Government. GEX is an integration of multiple COTS software packages that provide messaging and mediation services primarily to the Business Mission Area in Department of Defense (DoD). Scope: Support and expansion of GEX core capabilities, as well as current integrations, is critical to the success of business systems and data integration efforts across DoD. This environment, knowledge base and process methodology is essential to continue integration of requirements of procurement, supply, finance, medical, transportation, logistics, and any other required or emerging platforms as required. This integrated functionality increases potential access points while reducing single points of failure. This work falls under the areas of: task management; integration program development and management; integration requirements validation and prototyping; business process reengineering, functional process improvement; development, deployment, operations and maintenance management for standard/common/legacy/migrated applications. Objective: To obtain contractor support in sustaining and improving the GEX capability to conduct data integration supporting Electronic Business/Electronic Commerce (EB/EC) within the Federal government. This includes the necessary technical support to DLA Transaction Services, DISA Computing Services Directorate and program specific support for GEX map development and associated testing of new integrations.
