- Request for Information (RFI) for NAVAIR DEPOT MAINTENANCE SYSTEM SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE AND ENHANCEMENT SUPPORT NDMS SUITE OF APPLICATIONS Contracting Office Address: Army Contracting Command - New Jersey (ACC-NJ) 5418 S. Scott Plaza, Joint Base MDL, NJ 08641 Description: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform the task defined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS); except as specified in Section 8, Government and Contractor Furnished Items and Services. Background. The Naval Air System Command (NAVAIR) Depot Maintenance System (NDMS) suite of applications is a Depot production system that supports the resources required to perform depot level maintenance, repair, manufacturing, prototyping operations, modifications of aircraft, engines, components and other aeronautical equipment. NDMS is currently comprised of many applications that were developed in a variety of programming languages. Each application has a different look, feel, and experience for the user and maintains its own security and administration for managing user access and roles. The ultimate goal for depot applications in the NDMS suite is to have each depot look the same and perform its maintenance based upon a single business model. The NDMS Functional Guidance Team (FGT) and Technical Control Group (TCG) reviewed the business and technical value of each application in the NDMS suite currently in production at their respective depots. As a result, they developed a prioritized list of applications for each depot and the Program Management Office (PMO). The prioritized list is part of the NDMS application infrastructure consolidation project, which encompasses all production-necessary and production-related applications and interfaces. The NDMS suite of applications architecture will provide a single logon framework to access the following business functions; business planning, financial management, production planning, manage resources, production execution, support operations, and processes that support each business function. The NDMS-CONOPS will provide a single logon with a common user interface to the business functions of NDMS Information Technology (IT) enabling solutions. The vision is to consolidate and standardize the NDMS IT solutions set architecture to allow for standard centralized security management and user administration. This will provide a common logon with the same look and feel to NDMS and other maintenance and execution applications used within the depots. All existing NDMS applications will eventually be migrated into the new NDMS suite framework in a phased approach based on their existing development environment. 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.
