Sources Sought Request- The National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) is seeking potential sources for managing, maintaining, controlling, and improving baseline Production Systems. These Production Systems are of critical importance to NIMA's mission for assuring information superiority for its customers. On Option, the contract will provide the same services for a subset of similar systems comprising the PETROS System, based at the Military Survey in Feltham, United Kingdom. The majority of the Production Systems are currently maintained by the Multi-Systems Maintenance Services Contract (MSMS). NIMA's Production Systems include production and communications systems, service segments, and networks at varying security levels, and include desktop computers, workstations, mini-computers, mainframe computers, and their peripheral devices and interfaces. All systems are operational; however, a number of systems are in various stages of recapitalization or migration towards replacement systems or updatedbaselines. The Production Systems are geographically dispersed, with elements potentially installed world-wide. The primary installed sites are currently at NIMA facilities in the Washington DC and St. Louis MO areas, the United Kingdom, and Bay St. Louis MS. Sustainment of stable production operations is a priority contract consideration. Close control of baseline configurations, interfaces, resources, and schedules is necessary. The contract must accommodate the addition of new and potentially unstable systems, managing all required transition activities necessary to establish a stable, production baseline under the control of the contract. Cooperation and close working relationships with supported customers, other contracts and contractors, and government teams are essential. The contract must be able to flexibly apply resources to performance areas and supported systems based on greatest immediate need.
