- Description
- DESCRIPTION: The explosion of social media and interactive internet services has revolutionized the Information Environment (IE), and fundamentally created a sensor system comprised of billions of citizens observing and reporting activities across the globe. Additionally, global actors, both state and non-state, are using the same interactive internet system to plan and coordinate activities across the spectrum of operations. Essentially, the internet has become a ubiquitous Command and Control (C2) and sensor system that impacts the United States (US) and its allies' missions around the globe, including Shaping activities, force protection, counter-terrorism, counter-Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), and a myriad of others. In response, the Government has established the Secure Unclassified Network (SUNet): an off-Department of Defense Information Network (DODIN), For Official Use Only (FOUO)-accredited unclassified platform to enable the Department of Defense (DoD), US Government Interagency, and Coalition Partners to securely collaborate and share Publicly Available Information, FOUO data, analytics, and other enterprise services. This platform enables mission partners to establish virtual enclaves, control access to those enclaves, and to acquire, develop, and deploy mission-specific data sets and analytics that can be shared across multiple enclaves or restricted based on mission requirements. The objective of this effort is to manage, develop, enhance, integrate, test, deploy, and maintain the SUNet system infrastructure, as well as develop and implement SUNet enclaves for mission-specific requirements utilizing Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and Government Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) products with new data and collaboration features across US Government and foreign partner communities of interest. The Government anticipates the duration of the contract to be five (5) years. PURPOSE: The intent of this Pre-Solicitation Synopsis is to verify the security clearance information of interested offerors and to develop an "Interested Parties List" to be used in the development of this acquisition. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: Security Clearance Eligibility - This notification provides the advanced opportunity for all potential offerors to submit their current clearance information for verification, prior to the official solicitation period. Those offerors who can confirm their eligibility of meeting the security requirements for this effort in advance of the official solicitation release will be eligible to participate in the draft and/or formal solicitation process upon verification. In order to be eligible to participate in the draft solicitation process, offerors must submit their security clearance information by no later than 15 days after posting of synopsis. All potential offerors' security information must be verified prior to being provided a copy of the draft solicitation, and submitting security information by 15 days after posting of synopsis does not guarantee a potential offeror's participation in the draft solicitation process. In order to participate in the formal solicitation, as well as allow the offeror to take advantage of the full formal solicitation posting time frame, it is strongly recommended that offerors submit their clearance information by no later than 15 days after posting of synopsis to allow for clearance verification to take place in time for the anticipated formal solicitation release date.
