The Contractor must adhere to Department of Defense, Air Force, major command, installation, organizational, or any other government mandated guidance and directives while maintaining and modernizing the system. The term, CIPS, refers to the entire system, to include its components (i.e. CIPS Visualization Component (CVC geospatial), Work Order Management System (WOMS), and Project Management and Implementation Dashboard (PMID)). The government is not looking to replace the current system but to continue performance as well as modernization on the current system. The contractor must have a demonstrated capability in the following commercial off the shelf (COTS) software: OPERATING ENVIRONMENT: Solaris, Windows, .NET framework LANGUAGES USED: .ASP, C#, Java, Javascript, .HTML, .XML, .XSLT, SQL ADDITIONAL TOOL(S): Oracle, MS Visual Studio, Infragistics, NetBeans, LogiXML Tools (Info, AdHoc), Eclipse, Altiva, Quest TOAD, FME, ESRI ArcGIS, IBM Rational Suite, Robohelp 2. This proposed contract is being considered as a set-aside under a small business set-aside program. The North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code proposed for the requirement is 541512. The size standard for NAICS 541512 is $25M.
