D -- Request for Industry Evaluation and Comment on the Net Enabled Command Capability (NECC) Provisional Technical Transition Architecture (PTTA)

1. Introduction - The NECC is a pre-Major Automated Information System (preMAIS) program currently in the Technology Development (TD) phase of the DoD 5000 Acquisition lifecycle. One of the technical areas to be addressed throughout the TD phase and into the System Development and Demonstration (SDD) phase is to develop and implement a Technical Transition Architecture (TTA) that will act as an evolutionary bridge from current Global Command and Control System Family of Systems (GCCS FoS) architecture to the fully integrated, net-centric NECC architecture. 2. Purpose - The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to gather industry-wide evaluation, comment and feedback on the proposed PTTA outlined in Attachment 1. This Attachment 1 document entitled, - The NECC Provisional Technical Transition Architecture Specification is available on the DITCO Contracting Opportunities Home Page at https://www.ditco.disa.mil/dcop/Public/ASP/dcop.asp. The Government intends to use the feedback to ensure that all appropriate considerations are made for the NECC acquisition and to refine requirements for the NECC program phases. 3. Request - Specifically, with the key objectives of the NECC PTTA stated in Section 1.2 of Attachment 1 as a guiding assumption, the Government's primary objective is to receive detailed analysis and responses to the following our questions: (a) What parts of the NECC PTTA outlined in Sections 2-5 of Attachment 1 are sufficient to achieve its objectives, and why? (b) What parts of the NECC PTTA outlined in Sections 2-5 of Attachment 1 are necessary but not sufficient to achieve its objectives, and why? (c) What parts of the NECC PTTA outlined in Sections 2-5 of Attachment 1 are unnecessary, relative to its objectives, and why? (d) What standards are missing from Section 3 of Attachment 1, and why? The Government's secondary objective is to receive detailed analysis and responses to Attachment 1 overall (such as identification and recommended resolution of conflicts within the document). 4. Timeline - The following timeline applies to this Request for Information: (a) Submission of clarifications or questions regarding Section 3, Attachment 1, or any other section of this RFI (or any combination): NLT 14 days after RFI release. (b) The questions submitted and responses from the Government will be posted on the DITCO Contracting Opportunities Home Page at https://www.ditco.disa.mil/dcop/Public/ASP/dcop.asp NLT 21 days after RFI release. (c) Final RFI responses forwarded to the Government: NLT 45 days after RFI release. 4. Other Considerations: (a) All requests for clarification, questions and final responses must be marked with the Request for Information number and title and be sent via email in a Microsoft Word compatible format to both of the following individuals simultaneously: Mark.Kuzma@disa.mil (703-882-1339)and Stephen.Chadwick@disa.mil (703-882-2417): (b) This RFI is issued for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation for future business, an offer for procurement or any other type of current or future procurement or contractual action and is only intended to gather widespread industry input in accordance with the above Sections of this Request for Industry Evaluation and Comment document. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of the RFI or to otherwise pay for information received in response to this RFI.
