This program should include, but is not limited to, requirements previously incorporated as part of the Air Force Information Warfare Center=C6s plans for the Information Warfare Initiatives (IWI) effort. The IOPS will provide an enhanced Information Operations (IO) planning and decision support capability, which must augment and interface to existing intelligence and operations systems. The IOPS effort will include the development, integration, and sustainment of both a system architecture and a series of planning tools and applications that must support all aspects of IO planning. All potential offerors must possess a TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE COMPARTMENTED INFORMATION (TS/SCI) facility clearance, have a minimum of 1,500 square feet of accredited SCIF space available to accommodate the IOPS development, and a sufficient number of cleared personnel at the TS/SCI level to perform the services required. Responses, in the form of a capabilities statement, must include answers to a questionnaire which can be found on the Hanscom Electronic RFP Bulletin Board (HERBB) at http://herbb.hanscom.af.mil/info.asp?rfp=3DR16.
