- Description
- This announcement is not a Request for Proposal (RFP), but a survey to locate potential sources capable of performing the work described below. It is anticipated that a Contractor may be required for an effort to onboard new and existing applications to a FedRAMP accredited FISMA-Moderate Government Community Cloud (GCC); to develop technical design and reference architecture that can be leveraged by any Government agency – Federal, State, or Local; and to support the unique security requirements to protect the data. The presented solutions should highlight criteria for the design, implementation, and post-deployment operations and support of a hybrid cloud to improve scalability; add on-demand capacity; provide Disaster Recovery options; and other cloud characteristics to improve the efficiency and reduce IT cost. The DEA Sterling Park Technology Center (SPTC) has been chosen as one of the DOJ Datacenters for hosting agency-wide solutions. One such solution being worked on is eGIS – A Geospatial Information System (GIS) offering Google Earth Enterprise (GEE) and ESRI ArcGIS mapping services. The current solution is being hosted on-premises in SPTC. The solution is a combination of RedHat Linux and Microsoft Windows Server based Virtual Machines with back-end data on EMC VMax SAN. DEA seeks a secondary site to be hosted on a FedRAMP compliant Government Community Cloud (GCC) by an authorized Cloud Service Provider (CSP). The system architecture for eGIS has been designed to satisfy the requirements of two industry leading Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products – Google Earth Enterprise (GEE) and Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI) ArcGIS Server. The ArcGIS Servers and Web Adapters will run on Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2. The Google Earth Fusion platform and the Google Earth Server Virtual Machines will run Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.5 with XFS to support a 16TB+ file system. An Oracle 12c Database farm will be the primary database application to support both spatial and non-spatial data. Requirements for Secondary site: 1. Geospatial Mapping services and failover capability (from on-premises primary site to secondary site in the cloud) 2. Live site to meet SLA requirements - 24x7 availability (at least 3 nines - 99.9% availability) 3. DR capabilities - Backup raw data ~ 10TB 4. Support for RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.5+ based VMs 5. Support for Microsoft Windows Server 2008R2 and Windows Server 2012R2 based VMs 6. Virtual Machine bursting capability including VM conversion (if needed) Requirements for Cloud Service Provider (CSP): 1. FedRAMP accredited FISMA-Moderate Government Community Cloud (GCC) offering – a. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) b. Platform as a Service (PaaS) – Optional 2. Proven expertise in Hybrid cloud solutions 3. Global load-balancing (GLB/GSLB) solution compatible with on-premises F5 load-balancer 4. Supported and managed by US Citizens only with required clearances The objective of this proposed contract will be to establish a process for the contracting of specific tasks to support the cloud initiatives as identified by DEA, the development and publication of technical design and reference architecture. The specific tasks shall be identified by DEA with input from the Contractor and various outside sources. Any vendor developing the government’s requirement may be excluded from participating in future procurement opportunities. Minimum capabilities must include documented evidence of experience and expertise in all of the following areas: 1) Demonstrated experience in Hybrid cloud solutions; 2) Demonstrated experience in Identity Federation; 3) Demonstrated capability of hosting complex solutions with unique storage requirements like eGIS; 4) Demonstrated experience in FISMA-moderate and FISMA-high information systems; and 5) Demonstrated experience in the development of training materials and marketing/outreach programs that promote the use reference architecture to other agencies. Firms with these capabilities are invited to submit complete information to the procuring office identified in this notice within ten (10) calendar days from the date of this notice. Information furnished should include: 1) the number and professional qualifications of scientists, engineers, technical, and other appropriate personnel; 2) company experiences related to the proposed project; 3) a description of general and special facilities; and 4) other literature which demonstrates minimum capabilities listed above.
