D -- JOINT INTEROPERABILITY & ENGINEERING ORGANIZATION'S DEFENSE INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE (DII) INTEGRATION CONTRACT (DIIC) SOL DCA100-96-R-0053 DUE 091696 POC Susan Moses, Contract Specialist, (703) 607-6898, or Leo J. Milanowski, Contracting Officer, (703) 607-6908. Information regarding this procurement may be found at DISA's Home Page, beginning on 25 July 1996. The address is WWW.DISA.MIL. DISA intends to award a single contract which will provide the integration engineering and integration management services needed to: (1) build portable (across platforms) common support applications and data segments for the DII Common Operating Environment(COE) and the DII Shared Data Environment (SHADE), (2) build modular executive software and environment components for the DII Standard Operating Environment (SOE), (3) integrate and test the application/data segments with the modular executive software and environment components, and (4) field the integrated products globally. These global systems are complex in that they target shared data structures across functional communities rather than for a single organization, and are built from reusable components for use by multiple Department of Defense (DOD) Components. The seven basic task areas are (1) DII Environment Development & Distribution and Support, (2) DII Common Support Application/Data Development and Segmentation, (3) DII Pre-Production Configuration Management & Distribution, (4) DII Pre-Production Integration, (5) DII Pre-Production Product Assurance, (6) DII Pre-Production Installation and Site Support, and (7) DII Pre-Production Laboratory Support. The successful offeror will provide support for defining, building, and fielding DII environment infrastructure components (e.g. COE, SOE, SHADE). It will also provide integration engineering, integration management, and related services to define, develop, and segment, field, and support key modular DII Common Support Application and Data Segments (e.g., Global Command and Control System (GCCS), Global Combat Support System (GCSS), and other key globally targeted DISA initiatives). The successful offeror will also provide support in certifying all applications as being DII COE/SOE and SHADE compliant, allowing the functionality of the GCCS, GCSS and the DII SOE itself to mature, grow, and be configurable to user requirements. An Indefinite Quantity/Indefinite Delivery contract is envisioned, which will allow use (1) of delivery orders to execute specific work requirements and (2) use of all types of pricing methodologies. The Government intends to award a contract for an initial twelve (12) month period, with options for four (4) additional consecutive twelve (12) month periods. The Government intends to award one contract but retains the right to award separate contract line items to a different contractor if it is in the best interest of the Government. This acquisition will be a full and open competition. For purposes of subcontracting opportunities, the size standard associated with SIC Code 7379 -$18 Million per year averaged over three years -is applicable. Offerors will be evaluated on the basis of their record of past performance, technical/program management/ personnel/corporate capabilities, and proposed cost. A reading library has been established at DISA's Parkridge Office, Reston, Virginia, to provide offerors access to written documentation related to contract efforts.
