- Description
- The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Information Directorate has a requirement for an integrated software solution that improves product capabilities of the current Order of Battle (OB) functionality for the Defense Intelligence Modernized Integrated Data Base (MIDB) Enterprise (DIME) including all elements of OB data production and dissemination in support of the warfighter operations and national production. The successful offeror's proposed software approach will: (1) Advance the current software functionality towards full automation of all needed OB capabilities, including support to the following ten components of the system: MIDB Data Access Layer (MDAL), General Military Intelligence Database (GMIDB), Morpheus user interface, MIDB XML Data Exchange (MXDE), Person of Interest (POINT) Database, Point Data Access Layer (PDAL), Association (ASSOC) Database, ASSOC Data Access Layer, Replication, and Cross-version Bridge (CVB); (2) Improve software performance; and (3) Incorporate new versions of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and newly developed (i.e. Government-Off-The-Shelf (GOTS)) software, as required. The effort also requires the successful offeror to: (1) Participate in integration and or testing with various operating environments for the Department of Defense Intelligence Information System (DoDIIS), to include Global Command and Control System (GCCS)- Integrated Intelligence and Imagery (GCCS-I3), GCCS-Joint (GCCS-J), GCCS-Joint Digital Intelligence Support System (GCCS-JDISS), GCCS-Maritime (GCCS-M), GCCS-Air Force (GCCS-AF), etc.; and (2) Respond quickly to user mission needs concerning the training, operations, and management of the delivered software capabilities. While meeting the needs of the Intelligence community-at-large, customer-specific capabilities must be provided and maintained for interoperability with legacy and evolving systems, managed databases, and architecture changes. MIDB is the worldwide General Military Intelligence [GMI] database for the Shared Production Program (SPP) to provide GMI data to the warfighter. MIDB is available in both JWICS and SIPRNet domains. To be considered capable, interested parties must demonstrate a knowledge of the following: (1) Describe any relative experience with JWICS and SIPRNet domains; (2) Describe an approach for maintaining an operational baseline while developing and delivering new releases of the MIDB system; (3) Describe an approach to build functionally cohesive but loosely coupled databases; (4) Describe a capability to replicate large volumes of data; (5) Describe an ability to work with text, images and mapping data; (6) Describe a method/approach to perform queries against disparate databases which form a comprehensive review for use by a MIDB analyst(s) on a single desktop environment; and (7) Describe an approach for managing a common database architecture between large organizations such as the Defense Intelligence Agency and DoD service components. Anticipated deliverables include computer software and technical documentation. An Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (ID/IQ) -Supply contract is contemplated with an ordering period of forty-eight (48) months. The acquiring agency anticipates that approximately $49.8 million will be sufficient to cover orders for the duration of the ordering period. Contract type is IDIQ, FFP/CPFF Completion Type Orders. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541511 and the size standard for small business is $25 million in annual receipts. Evaluation of the small business capability packages received in response to the previous Sources Sought notice resulted in a determination that a small business set-aside was not appropriate. The successful offeror will be selected as a result of full and open competition. Foreign participation is excluded at the prime contractor level. The successful contractor may receive and/or generate technical data subject to export control in the performance of the contract. Therefore, prospective offerors must provide a completed and/or approved DD Form 2345 which certifies the offeror is on the Certified Contractors Access List (CCAL) or the offeror is seeking application to CCAL.

It is solely the responsibility of the contractor to obtain an export license from the U. S. Department of State and to comply with the federal laws and regulations. Questions concerning the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and export licensing must be directed to the U.S. Department of State's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls and not the Air Force Project Engineer, Contracting Office, or Air Force Foreign Disclosure Office. A technical library relating to the subject area of this acquisition is available for review by potential offerors at the Air Force Research Laboratory/RIEB, Building 3, 525 Brooks Road, Rome New York 13441-4505.

In accordance with AFFARS 5301.91, an Ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition.

Further, the Ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes. The Ombudsman may refer the party to another official who can resolve the concern. Consulting an Ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g., agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for debriefings, employee-employer actions, contests of OMB Circular A-76 competition performance decisions). If resolution cannot be made by the Contracting Officer, concerned parties may contact the following AFRL Ombudsman: Susan Hunter, Building 15, RM225, 1864 4th Street, Wright-Patterson AFB OH 45433-7130 FAX: (937) 255-5036 COM: (937) 904-4407.
