- Description
- Purpose: The purpose of this Request for Information( RFI) is to conduct market research which will be used to formulated an acquisition strategy to procure system engineering support associated with the Joint C2 Objective Architecture. Description: The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA),Program Executive Office Command and Control Capabilities (PEO-C2C), in coordination with DISA's Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO), is conducting market research to identify private sector sources (industry), that can provide operational support for (PEO-C2C) program management office, Fort Meade, MD. The scope of this task is to support the systems engineering activities associated with the Joint C2 Objective Architecture. This effort will support the Office of the Technical Director, within the Program Executive Office for Command and Control Capabilities (PEO-C2C) during the period of performance. This task order provides systems engineering support focused on the Joint C2 Family of Systems (FoS) transition and compliance with the Joint C2 Objective Architecture. This is a level of effort type task order. 1.1 BACKGROUND The Joint C2 will be a federated set of C2 programs that will form a joint system that allows seamless integration of information for the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS), the Combatant Commanders (COCOMs), and the Military Services providing joint and multinational operations into the 21st century. The system supports the President, Vice President, Secretary of Defense, CJCS, COCOMs, and Services by providing synchronized operations from dispersed locations and provides joint Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) to support the entire force projection cycle. It provides responsive command and control, the capability to assess the level of success, and retain flexibility to re-engage with precision by allowing the Joint Task Force (JTF) commander the ability to maintain dominant battlefield awareness through a fused, integrated, near real-time picture of the battle space. 2.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS •· Joint Command and Control (Joint C2) Objective Architecture: Framework, v2.1 •· Joint Command and Control (Joint C2) Objective Architecture: Software View, v2.1 •· Joint Command and Control (Joint C2) Objective Architecture: Physical View, v2.1 •· Joint Command and Control (Joint C2) Objective Architecture: Data View, v2.1 •· Joint Command and Control (Joint C2) Objective Architecture: Information Assurance View, v2.1 •· Joint Command and Control (C2) Standards Profile, v2.1, •· Joint Command and Control (Joint C2) Objective Architecture: Migration Patterns, v2.0 •· Joint Command and Control (Joint C2) Architecture Driven Requirements, v2.1 •· Joint Command and Control (C2) Architecture Compliance Guidance, v1.0 •3.0 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS 3.1 Task Management.
