Description: The Government seeks to award a bridge contract that seamlessly implements the current AIE 2 system configuration known as quote mark AIE 2+. quote mark AIE 2+ interfaces directly with the existing enterprise servers (primary and backup). The enterprise servers connect directly to the web-based middleware solution called Interoperability Layer Service (IoLS) and various authoritative databases. This interface is completed IAW the DIAC IoLS ICD version 2.1 and Software Development Guide. The enterprise servers provide data failover capability, thus supporting uninterrupted operations and fulfilling DOD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP) requirements. The enterprise server suite is Government owned. The contractor is cautioned that throughout the implementation of this project, existing operations will not be disrupted. The enterprise servers at the current location shall remain operational throughout implementation. Interface with Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) databases is required independent of IoLS. The objective of the Automated Installation Entry (AIE) 2 Program is to provide a cost effective system that enhances security of Installation Access Control Points (ACP). The System automates identity authentication and verification of authorized registered personnel entering the Installation, minimizes guard force requirements, maintains or increases pedestrian and vehicle throughput with enhanced security and allows for adaptation of increased authentication requirements at high threat levels. The system facilitates entry of registered personnel onto multiple Installations without re-registration. The AIE system is installed at Installation ACPs to provide automated access control onto an Installation for vehicular traffic and pedestrians that have been enrolled in the system and are authorized access in accordance with (IAW) the Department of Defense (DOD), Army and Installation Commander's policies. The AIE system is used in US military locations in the Continental United States (CONUS). Biometric enabled and operational equipment are standard on handheld units and on fixed lane equipment. Additional requirements include automated registration at the vehicle lane, automatic entry upon successful biometric scan, sharing data with other physical access control systems, vetting against authoritative databases such as state Driver's License Bureaus, remote monitoring and control of ACPs and connectivity to the federal cloud. All requirements in the Statement of Work are minimal threshold identified for both the Fixed-Full or Handheld install. All equipment shall be FIPS 201 compliant. The system provides reliable and timely registration of personnel and automatic processing of vehicle and pedestrian traffic at Army ACPs throughout CONUS and OCONUS. The existing system infrastructure shall continue to interface and be operational from the site to the enterprise servers. For site infrastructure, dark fiber is used when available; otherwise, Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) capability is installed. The AIE-3 solicitation issued on February 25, 2013. The solicitation envisioned an extensive effort to expand the basic capabilities embodied by the AIE-2 system, which was then under contract to BAE. AIE-3 is intended as an upgrade to existing AIE-2+ systems. The original AIE 3 solicitation and award were terminated as a Corrective Action in response to an award protest. While the original AIE 3 RFP is being revised and updated, Joint Product Manager-Force Protection Systems (JPdM-FPS) has ongoing mission requirements and funding for CONUS installations. The current proposed sites for the bridge effort include, but are not limited to: Military Ocean Terminal, Concord, CA; Radford AD; Ft Irwin; Ft Drum; Holston AAP; Dugway PG; and Camp Roberts. The Government reserves the right to revise this list of sites dependent upon amended mission requirements, funding and other priority influencers. This bridge will not be utilized upon award, expiration of the protest period and resolution of potential protests for the pending AIE 3 RFP. The Government anticipates that the AIE 2 Bridge requirement will be fulfilled via a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract with subsequent FFP Delivery orders awarded for each installation site. The proposed contract effort is for AIE-2, not AIE-3, and will be awarded pursuant to the authority of FAR 6.302-1. The AIE 2 bridge base ordering period is eighteen months with a single six month option in case of protest of the pending AIE 3 solicitation for a total ordering period of 24 months. The proposed ID/IQ contract for this effort is: W911QY-14-D-0023. An ID/IQ ceiling of $12.5M (inclusive of the option) is estimated. Interested offerors that are capable of immediately meeting the requirements outlined in the Statement of Work (SOW) below must provide an emailed capabilities briefing not to exceed 10 pages outlining their approach for this effort; and a Program Management Plan and a mobilization schedule not to exceed five pages outlining their timeline for readiness to provide the bridge AIE 2+ system. These items shall be provided no later than 4:00PM Eastern Standard Time, 9 June 2014. NOTICE: The purpose of this SSN is to capture updated market research on those offerors who can immediately successfully meet the stated bridge requirements. DISCLAIMER: This notice does not constitute an Invitation for Bids, or a Request for Proposal (RFP) and is not a commitment by the U.S. Government to procure subject products or services. The point of contract for information regarding this solicitation is Brian P. Murphy at 407-384-5198. Responses can be sent to brian.p.murphy52.civ@mail.mil no later than 4:00PM EST, 9 June 2014.
