D -- ENTERPRISE PORTAL INITIATIVE SOL N00024-00-Q-0071 POC Contact Point: L. Fox, NAVSEA 029P, 703-602-4519 x370 SOURCES SOUGHT FOR ENTERPRISE PORTAL INITIATIVE FOR NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND, ARLINGTON, VA. The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is looking for sources to design and develop an enterprise portal that links multiple proprietary databases. The portal must be user friendly, accessible from laptops and desktops worldwide for up to 3,000 users. NAVSEA is seeking a result which will provide an integrated paperless acquisition system into which information is entered, requirements are tracked and posted, solicitations are sent and received and documents awarded. The following statement of work begins NAVSEA's vision. Background: The purpose of this document is to provide the performance, capabilities and connectivity requirements for the NAVSEA support services paperless acquisition system. As required by the Department of Defense and Assistant Secretary of the Navy, NAVSEA is implementing a paperless acquisition system. The Support Services Acquisition Program Office (SSAPO) paperless acquisition system will be the prototype for a single data entry system that connects all software applications necessary to perform all tasks in the support services acquisition process within a paperless environment. This prototype system must be designed so that it interfaces with and utilizes the existing NAVSEA headquarters Information Technology (IT) capabilities, architecture and infrastructure. However, it must be flexible enough to adapt to hardware, software, and connectivity changes, and at the same time, be capable of responding to evolving user needs. The procurement of the support services paperless acquisition system will be accomplished in four phases, based on current commercial best practices for system acquisition. The design phase will begin with a concept for the system and end with completion of all documentation required to develop the system. The development phase will begin with a plan for system development based on the design documentation and end with a system prototype and full documentation required to field the system. The test and deploy phase will begin with full component and system testing by the contractor of the prototype system, will include independent government testing of the system and will end with deployment of the system to 500 users throughout NAVSEA headquarters. The maintenance phase will begin with support of the initial deployment of the system and will include routine repair and maintenance of the deployed system through the end of the first fiscal year. Maintenance beyond the first fiscal year will be the subject of a separate contract. Upgrades to the integrated system, other than those required to retain a single-entry, paperless acquisition system, are outside the scope of this effort and will be procured separately. This system will be developed and implemented using an IPT concept. It is expected that the contractor and government will execute this contract using collaborative decision-making throughout the four phases of the procurement with face to face meetings and technical data interchange. Item 0001 System Design Objective: The Contractor must design a single point of entry paperless acquisition system which allows any NAVSEA headquarters employee to perform any task within the support services task order process from any place in the world without specialized training. The design must design provided all information: task order information, process information, tracking information and management information (See attachment 1 for the list of task order tasks and information requirements) to all databases or locations/users who need to use the information. This designed must use the existing NAVSEA headquarters Information Technology (IT) capabilities, architecture and infrastructure. In addition, it must be flexible enough to adapt to hardware, software, and connectivity changes, and, at the same time, be capable of responding to evolving user needs. The system must work from a desktop or laptop PC having the following parameters: 200 Mhz Processor 32 MB RAM Minimum (64 MB Recommend) 1 GB Available Disk Space (Minimum) 17" SVGA .28 DPI Monitor (21" Recommended) 56K V.90 Modem (if remote user) MS Windows 95 Operating System Netscape with 128 bit Strong Encryption (US Domestic Triple DES) Internet access and Netscape or Microsoft browser Microsoft Office In addition to meeting current requirements, in order to maximize efficiency and maintain a high level of information throughput within the support services paperless acquisition system, this system must be constructed with the following constraints: Hardware requirements must be scalable and currently available for immediate procurement System must link to Support Services Website as well as to all applications to accomplish the paperless process System must meet all NAVSEA security requirements and be adaptable to future security requirements System must be scalable to add other types of NAVSEA procurements System must link together following applications: Procurement Desktop Defense PD2 Electronic Financial Transaction System All Financial Management Information Systems STARS Live Link Integrated Data Environment Wide Area Work Flow Standard NAVSEA desktop software (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) System must not interfere or cause any problems for other NAVSEA standard desktop applications. Performance Standards: The Contractor must complete the design in accordance with all DoD, Navy, and NAVSEA hardware, software, connectivity and security regulations, policies and procedures. The design must be complete so that the non-technical NAVSEA reviewers can understand all aspects of the design and concur that it is a paperless system within the NAVSEA constraints. It must be approved by SEA OOI as allowable for use on the NAVSEA backbone. Deliverable: Prepare report listing all hardware, software and connectivity required for proposed system in sufficient detail to be reviewed and approved by a non-technical IPT. Detail in the report the program plan for system development, risks, schedule and limitations. Prepare all required NAVSEA OOI and Security documentation for the paperless system. Indicate what information will be provided to users, what information will users are prompted to receive and how that information will flow through applications during the acquisition process. Item 0002 -- The Contractor must develop the system approved under line item 0001 for deployment. The Contractor must procure all hardware, software and perform all services required to develop the system. Successful completion of this item shall be the successful demonstration of a test task order successfully created, tracked, awarded, administered and reported upon in accordance with system parameters. Option Item 0003 -- Upon option exercise, the Contractor shall conduct component and system test of the developed paperless acquisition system and provide a detailed report of the tests and results to the IPT. Upon the IPT concurrence that the system has successfully passed all tests, the Contractor shall install, set up, and initially administer the system for 500 users at NAVSEA headquarters and remote locations. The contractor shall provide any training required to administer the system to specified government employees. Option Item 0004 -- Upon option exercise, the Contractor shall maintain the system so that it continues to interoperate with all other systems within the paperless acquisition environment. The contractor shall perform all tasks required to keep the system up and running smoothly from 7:00 am EST through 6:00 pm EST on all Federal Government Work Days. Sources who are interested are requested to submit a technical capability statement demonstrating the aspects of the appropriate technology and concept of operation. Responses required no later than 30 days after the date of this announcement. This solicitation is for information and planning purposes only. This announcmenet is a request for information only and is not a request for proposals (RFP), nor does the Government intend to pay for information solicited. No contracts will be awarded as a result of this announcement. Responses should be addressed to Commander Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA 029P), 2531 Jefferson Davis Hwy, Arlington, VA 22242-5160, telephone 703-602-4519x370 or by e-mail to FOXLM@NAVSEA.NAVY.MIL Posted 08/24/00 (W-SN489530).
