99 -- Department of Defense Intelligence Information System (DoDIIS) Infrastructure Development and Integration

Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Rome Research Site (RRS), Information Directorate (AFRL/IF), is soliciting proposals for a sixty (60) month effort focused on enabling the Air Force mission to improve and maintain Department of Defense Intelligence Information System (DoDIIS) capabilities. The objective of this effort is to conduct Joint Enterprise DoDIIS Infrastructure (JEDI) software development and DoDIIS Trusted Workstation (DTW) development, integration, and system support for the Global Cyberspace Integration Center (GCIC), the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and the DoDIIS community. The approach is to supply software engineering to maintain and enhance the DoDIIS infrastructure baseline by identifying, evaluating, designing, developing, testing, implementing, fielding, and documenting the resolution of DTW and JEDI enhancements. In the course of performance, personnel will interface with agencies at various DoDIIS and U.S. Intelligence Community sites worldwide through both visits and electronic means. The contract will result in the delivery of several software releases (approximately one release every six months) to the JEDI/DTW user community, to include computer software, technical documentation, and the installation and maintenance of the current systems on a "as required" basis. All software releases will be required to rely upon, to the maximum extent possible, commercial vendor-supplied software, where applicable, and should result in a hardened, Protection Level 5 (PL5) secure system in accordance with all applicable and latest NSA, DISA, DIA, DCID 6/3 and JDCSISSS requirements, to include the implementation and integration of all service packs, patches, and hot-fixes available. An indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity cost-plus-fixed-fee (completion) type contract is contemplated with an ordering period of sixty (60) months. The maximum contemplated ordering amount is anticipated to be approximately $49,900,000.00. The NAICS Code for this requirement is 541511.
