58 -- AIR MOBILITY COMMAND C2 IPS ONSITE SYSTEM MANAGEMENT, MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT POC 2nd Lt. Louis Orndorff, Contract Negotiator, 617-271-8679. 17. ON-SITE SYSTEM MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE AND REMOTE SITE SYSTEM SUPPORT OF THE AMC COMMAND AND CONTROL INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM (AMC C2 IPS). The AMC C2 IPS is a comprehensive incremental upgrade of the command and control system of the Air Mobility Command (AMC). The development effort is ongoing. AMC C2IPS will provide automated information processing and communications interface support to a variety of AMC organizations as well as USAF combat forces. This is a concurrent task to the system development effort awarded 12 Dec 88 to Computer Sciences Corporation, Moorestown, NJ. Computer Sciences Corporation is developing, delivering and installing fixed and deployable systems. This action provides on-site assistance to largely undocumented developmental software as well as on-site software troubleshooting, node system management and maintenance. Assistance will be required at up to 85 Air Force and Air Force Reserve locations worldwide, and at a centralized system support help desk. Help desk personnel must have intimate knowledge of the system as developed and established contacts with system developers. Contractor personnel will be required to accompany deployable nodes when and where deployed, and assistance may be required for 24-hour notice deployment to Air Force crisis locations worldwide. Potential sources must meet the following screening criteria: (1) Have (inherently or by subcontracting or teaming arrangement) the management, financial and technical expertise necessary to provide system management of an incremental software development effort, support and maintenance of fielded AMC C2 IPS nodes, (2) Have experience in the operation and maintenance of computer systems in operational areas, (3) Have knowledge of DOD Higher Order Languages, OpenVMS & UNIX (from Digital Equipment Corporation), SQL and Oracle relational database management software, (4) Have knowledge of the AMC C2 IPS application software under development, (5) Have the capability to troubleshoot and perform limited on-site maintenance on DEC 3000 workstations and associated AMC C2 IPS peripherals, (6) Have overall knowledge of Air Force documentation, and (7) Have personnel cleared through US SECRET security levels (four system managers must have a US Top Secret security clearance). Potential offerors are reminded that the current developing contractor may have a substantial competitive advantage by virtue of its ongoing contractual efforts on this program. Currently, the Government intends to solicit only the incumbent contractor. However, the Government may solicit those interested firms meeting the screening criteria in this synopsis. Any interested offeror initially judged to be qualified will be provided a copy of the solicitation on request, and any offer such a firm might submit will be evaluated without prejudice. Responses to this synopsis shall be limited to 20 pages, not less than 10 pitch type, double spaced and one inch margins. Firms only interested in receiving a copy of the solicitation for subcontracting or information purposes should so state in their response. The RFP for Contractor System Management is expected to be released in November, 1995. Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business and Woman-Owned Small Business Firms should identify themselves as such. Questions should be addressed to 2Lt Louis Orndorff, (617) 271-8679. (0293)
