In the event that not enough Small Businesses are available, a full and open competition will be solicited. Please provide the following information in your response: * Experience in performing similar tasks * Personnel qualifications * Corporate size DESCRIPTION The mission of the Business Transformation Agency (BTA) is to guide the transformation of business operations throughout the Department of Defense and to deliver Enterprise-level capabilities that align to warfighter needs. The BTA will be recognized as the champion for driving and accelerating improvements to business operations across the Department of Defense. The BTA will serve as a magnet to attract talented, dedicated professionals, creating a model for transformation leadership across the federal government. The Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA) is the enterprise architecture for the Department of Defense (DoD) Business Mission Area (BMA) and includes activities, processes, data standards, business rules, operating requirements, and information exchanges. The BEA is developed using a set of integrated DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF) products. The BEA defines DoD's business transformation priorities, the Business Capabilities required to support those priorities, and the combinations of systems and initiatives that enable these capabilities. The purpose of this RFI is to detail the tasks and responsibilities needed to support the BTA requirements for optimization, maintenance and implementation of the Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA) compliance requirements Laws, Regulations, and Policy (LRP) repository and support for the ongoing management and maintenance of the LRP and their linkage to the System Architect (SA) application for the BEA. The primary purpose of the Dynamic Object-Oriented Requirements System (DOORS) work is to support the government in identifying all laws, policies, regulations and other constraints and representing them in the BEA. This requires the ability to adapt quickly to changing methods and content and to provide outputs in various forms to our customers. It is also required to develop and keep current documentation of the processes and procedures related to these efforts. REQUIREMENTS Task 1 - Data Repository Support The Contractor shall provide continued support for Systems Architect and Dynamic Object Oriented Requirements System (DOORS). This support includes: " Consulting/ coordinating/ documenting configuration, troubleshooting, maintenance, and upgrades with the technical support provider and related vendors, for DOORS to ensure continued successful operation in support of the BEA.
