Communications related to this program will be via the Contract Specialist at isicontracts@usmc.mil only. Individuals interested in attending industry day must submit the following information to isicontracts@usmc.mil subject line MCEITS Industry Day: Company Name Company Address Name of Attendee(s) Attendees Phone Number Attendees Title Attendees E-mail address Identify whether COTS Software/Hardware provider, Systems Integrator, or both MCEITS BACKGROUND Marine Corps Enterprise Information Technology Services (MCEITS) is a core enabler of computing and communications capabilities of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force Command and Control (MAGTF C2) Framework and the Marine Corps C2 System of Systems (SoS). MCEITS enables access to enterprise information and provides a collaborative sharing environment for information/services across the business and warfighter domains. These capabilities will be attained by integrating primarily commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) information technology (IT) components under an integrated enterprise architecture that enables the creation of a net-centric environment. This environment is comprised of a consolidated infrastructure to support legacy and virtual application services and data environments, with a common validation and inclusion process. This new infrastructure initially resides in two Enterprise Information Technology Centers (EITCs) located in Kansas City, Missouri and Albany, Georgia. It will also include a Service Integration Environment (SIE) for validation and deployment of applications, services and data to be located in Kansas City, Missouri. The Marine Corps net-centric capability is enabled via the Enterprise Application Environment (EAE) and the Enterprise Services and Data Environment (ESDE) that is instantiated in the EITCs. These program elements form the Enterprise Services Layer of the MAGTF C2 Framework. The EAE hosts and provides access to MCEITS-provided applications, as well as other enterprise-class services, via an Enterprise Portal Framework (EPF). The MCEITS services allow the Marine Corps to deliver solutions that range from hosting systems to providing enterprise-wide services. The ESDE provides the environment for net-centric interoperability by enabling the sharing of data and services, monitoring the enterprise-wide discovery of people, content and services. The overall MCEITS environment is managed through MCEITS Operations Center (MOC) functional capabilities that will be integrated into the Marine Corps Network Operations and Security Center (MCNOSC). MCEITS will field the application and service hosting infrastructure for the Marine Corps Enterprise Network (MCEN) with the hardware, software, and facilities infrastructure required to support MCEITS-hosted, non-managed hosted or provisioned applications and also the Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) necessary to enable collaboration and provide access to trusted information. MCEITS platforms provide information access and collaboration capability for Marine Corps users and begin the net-centric transformation for accessing warfighting and business processes on both the NIPRNET and SIPRNET. The MCEITS platforms consist of the EITCs and the Distributed platforms and provide the processing infrastructure within which the other program elements operate. The Distributed platforms support designated Marine Corps Installation (MCI) Commanders, Marine Forces (MARFOR) Commanders and MEF Commanders. The Tactical Collaboration Work Suite (TCWS), identified in the MCEITS CDD as the gap-filler for the MCEITS expeditionary capability, will be hosted on the Combat Operations Center hardware with MCEITS providing capability/software as a service IAW MCCDC letter of clarification dated 5 December 2008. Subsequent MCEITS expeditionary capabilities will be further specified by MCCDC in the follow-on releases supporting land and amphibious missions. The operations and maintenance of the MCEITS capability was previously identified in the CDD as being a part of the MOC. The MOC functionality will be delivered and integrated into the MCNOSC. NetOps enables C2 of the Marine Corps Enterprise Network (MCEN), which incorporates MCEITS capabilities. The MOC functions support the needs and direction of the Marine Corps warfighting and business mission areas, in accordance with Marine Corps Chief Information Officer (CIO) direction utilizing IT Service Management (ITSM) and Enterprise Service Management (ESM) processes, tools and capabilities. The Capability Production Document (CPD) identifies at a high level the Initial and Full Operational Capability (IOC / FOC) requirements for MCEITS. IOC, scheduled for Q2FY11, shall be declared when one operational EITC with data and application environments is established with High Availability and Continuity (HA/C) to support ten percent capacity, a functional SIE is established, and an initial Operations management capability is established within the MCNOSC with a plan for establishing and staffing the full capability to satisfy all DOTMLPF requirements. MCEITS Full Operational Capability (FOC) is scheduled for FY12 and beyond. When FOC is realized, MCEITS will deliver the Enterprise platforms with the hardware, software, and facilities infrastructure required to support MCEITS-hosted, non-managed hosted or provisioned applications and services necessary to enable the collaboration and access to trusted information. MCEITS provides the infrastructure necessary to support information accessibility and collaboration, and enhances enterprise visibility to manage Marine Corps IT assets and services. MCEITS platforms shall provide a set of key components for establishing an information infrastructure that will enable commanders/users to access information and collaborate on both the NIPRNET and SIPRNET. These end-to-end sets of information capabilities will provide an understandable and multidimensional view of the battlespace to the future Marine and/or Joint Task Force Commander by providing capabilities that will support the full range of military operations, including high intensity conflict. MCEITS capabilities are successively refined through Modeling and Simulation (M&S) and input from analysis conducted in the Systems Integration Environment (SIE) through a series of Pre-Planned Product Improvements (P3Is).
