Description

This is a Sources Sought announcement. This synopsis is issued for the sole purpose of the 55th Contracting Squadron to conduct Market Research in accordance with FAR Part 10. This effort is to seek qualified sources capable of providing operational software support for United States Strategic Command Intelligence Directorate (USSTRATCOM/J2). If more than one small business can demonstrate the capability to perform this requirement, subject requirement may be set-aside utilizing the appropriate small business program. USSTRATCOM/J2 has a requirement for software applications development, maintenance, operational support, quality assurance, testing, and configuration management, to include enhancement, modification, and integration of intelligence applications, scripts and databases, in support of the intelligence mission. The predominant change in current systems supporting the USSTRATCOM mission is the evolution to a web-based architecture. It will involve maintenance of locally developed applications and scripts to more effectively and efficiently support the USSTRATCOM mission. Another change is the integration of more national systems into the USSTRATCOM Intelligence Data Handling System (IDHS). This evolution requires support for scripting effective interfaces into and out of the USSTRATCOM IDHS. The IDHS is a distributed, client-server communications-computer system comprised of various segments. Each segment within the USSTRATCOM IDHS is identified by the primary functional activity being supported by the projects and communities of interest within each segment. The current segments are identified as follows: Infrastructure (communications and support services, message handling, exercise and training support); collection management; dissemination; planning and direction; production (general military intelligence, imagery, indications & warning, target intelligence, geospatial information & services). Offers will be required to meet the following requirements: (1) Knowledge of accepted industry practices and standards such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)/Electronics Industry Association (EIA) 12207, _Information Technology-Software Life Cycle Processes,_ as the guidelines for software life cycle management. (2) Working knowledge of the following software languages: Ada, C & C++, Client/Server Application Support Services (CSASS), Graphical Query Language (GQL)/BI Query, HTML, JavaScript, Makefile, Motif, Perl with Perl/TK, Shell Scripting, Structured Query Language (SQL), Structured Query Report Language (SQR), and Sybase Open Client and Open Server. (3) Working knowledge of Computer Security (COMPUSEC), Emission Security (EMSEC), Communications Security (COMSEC), and Security, Awareness, Training and Education (SATE) programs. (4) All personnel must be currently SCI indoctrinated, have a current Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) and TOP SECRET with Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO), or be SCI eligible. No waivers will be considered. In addition, applicant shall have a TOP Secret Clearance based on a favorable SSBI completed within the past 5 years. (5) Understand current United States Strategic Command mission. All services will be performed in the LeMay Building, Offutt AFB NE (USSTRATCOM). A two-month transition period may be scheduled at the discretion of the government. This transition period will allow a new contractor the opportunity to work side by side with the incumbent contractor and become familiar with systems, applications, Intelligence Systems Division processes, and key personnel from the government and other contractors. Contract performance periods will consist of a base period and four option years. The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code is 7376. North American Industry Classification System (NAIC) is 54513. The small business size standard is $18 million. Request respondents capable of performing this effort furnish a capability package of no more than 10 pages by 27 February 2001. Please include company name, address, telephone number, point of contact with e-mail address, business size, DUNS number, CCR registration number, Federal Cage code, general description of the company with proven ability to meet requirements, to include security clearances and a description of similar contracts. The description of contracts should include agency name, contract number, dollar magnitude, performance period, and points of contacts with current phone numbers.
