CIO-G6 requirements will be supported by a separate contract vehicle now associated with this SSN's solicitation number W900KK-USAICoE-CIOG6. Potential North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for CIO-G6: 541512 Computer Systems Design Services. The Government has provided a DRAFT CIO-G6 Performance Work Statement (PWS, Attachment 01 to this SSN). PURPOSE: The Government is seeking information regarding relevant experience and capabilities of industry partners interested in performing this potential requirement. Responses to this SSN will be used to gain insight from industry's experience performing similar requirements and to analyze the information in order to develop a contract vehicle capable of supporting the described mission. Based on this assessment, the Government will finalize an acquisition strategy and generate a formal draft solicitation. The Government encourages industry to provide comments and suggestions relating to acquisition strategy to include: NAICS, contract type, contract structure, teaming arrangements, small business participation/set asides, etc. The Government also encourages industry to provide questions, comments, and suggestions relating to the PWS provided. Questions received will be consolidated, answered and, if deemed valuable information for all interested parties, will be posted at a later date on the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website. The Government will not disclose the identity of the potential offeror asking the questions. BACKGROUND: USAICoE's CIO-G6 requirements were previously supported by Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) through the Warfighter Field Operations Customer Support (FOCUS) contract and the Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) contract. USAICoE's CIO-G6 Warfighter FOCUS (WFF) requirements will be supported by the new CIO-G6 solicitation number W900KK-USAICoE-CIOG6.
