- Description
- Headquarters Air Combat Command (HQ ACC) plans to recompete its contract for integrating Measurement and Signals Intelligence (MASINT) within the Air Force Distributed Common Ground System. The Contractor selected to fulfill the requirements of this SOW shall be required to operate integrated MASINT capabilities within AF DCGS. Specifically, the Contractor shall maintain the detailed framework upon which thorough operational planning and system development is accomplished. The end result is to maintain the established functional/program management, maintain and implement Concepts of Operations (CONOPs)/Tactics, Techniques and Procedures, maintain the TPED capability/capacity commensurate with current and future sensors, establish a training program, and ensure adequate communications infrastructure resources. More specifically the Contractor will focus on AF DCGS capability to handle MASINT tasking, processing, exploitation, and dissemination (TPED). The System Administrator/Information System Security Officer (Sys Admin/ISSO) positions will be filled to address historical shortfalls in the USAF for these skill sets. These personnel will be utilized by the assigned unit to perform Sys Admin/ISSO functions related to the unit’s mission, not limited specifically to support the AF DCGS MASINT equipment/software. The AF DCGS is a system of systems architecture composed of fixed and deployable, scalable and modular ISR ground station components that provide multi-source intelligence to the warfighter. These components are connected via a secure wide area network (WAN) to create a virtual multi-INT tasking, processing, exploitation and dissemination (TPED) environment. The system employs a concept of data distribution, information sharing and collaborative work centers. The AF DCGS is part of the overall DoD DCGS architecture. The AF DCGS is worldwide; with core location Distributed Ground Systems (DGSs), remote sites, and the DCGS Processing Exploitation, and Dissemination System (PEDS) Architecture (DPA). In addition, other organizations provide support, directly and indirectly, to AF DCGS. The AF DCGS provides integrated and flexible, multi-discipline intelligence satisfying warfighter requirements for all phases of military operations. The system simultaneously tasks and receives, processes, exploits and disseminates data from national, theater, tactical, and commercial collection assets in a distributed environment. It supports national, joint, combined, and AF operations. It is capable of forward deployed, distributed (split-based), and in-garrison reachback operations. Initial Operating Capability (IOC) was established 15 December 2002. All services requested under this contract are non-personal in nature. The anticipated contract award date is 17 Mar 06. The performance period is projected to be a 6 month base period with 4 one year option periods. The NAICS code for this effort is anticipated to be 541990. A determination regarding the set aside status for this effort has not been made. This is not a formal Request for Proposal (RFP), and no contract will result from this synopsis, nor does it commit the Government to any acquisition for these services. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes only, and the Government will not pay for any information received. Any subsequent solicitation will be synopsized prior to its release. In an effort to streamline the information sharing process, the Government intends to post copies of current contract information, draft documents associated with the solicitation, and questions and answers relating to the acquisition on the FedBizOps website (www.fedbizopps.gov).
