D -- NCES

In 2006, the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) initiated efforts to enhance Content Discovery & Delivery (CD&D) capabilities as part of its Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) program. Following an industry engagement event and comprehensive market research, including a questionnaire and one-on-one meetings with potential providers, DISA evaluated existing government programs that could be leveraged to deliver these services. This led to formal agreements with two established government entities: the Director of National Intelligence's Intelligence Community Enterprise Solutions at Ft. Meade, MD, which was tasked with providing Content Discovery capabilities, and DISA's Computing Services Directorate in Falls Church, VA, which was designated as the service provider for the Global Information Grid (GIG) Content Delivery Service. These arrangements included utilizing existing service infrastructures, support systems, and help desk functions managed by these organizations. The contract, identified by the solicitation number HC1047-07-R-0027 and posted in June 2007, pertains to the NAICS code 517410, signaling its focus on telecommunications-related services. Key points of contact include Contract Specialist Nancy L. Dydak and NCES PMO representative Ms. Ginny Parsons for further inquiries. This approach reflects DISA’s strategy to streamline CD&D capabilities by adopting and integrating proven government-managed services, ensuring sustained operational support and technical assistance as part of the broader NCES initiative.
