AI Contract Overview

The contract intends to award a firm fixed price agreement to LGS Innovations LLC for supporting the Joint Hawaii Information Transfer System (JHITS) switching network, which comprises three 5ESS Compact Digital Switches with Netra20 Administrative Services Modules and seven Very Compact Digital Switches with Netra240 Distinctive Remote Modules. These systems operate on the Sun/Oracle Solaris 10 platform and require regular security patches released by Sun/Oracle to address Information Assurance Vulnerability Alerts (IAVAs) critical for Department of Defense (DoD) operational readiness. The existing security upgrade contract for this system is set to expire at the end of 2015, and renewal is necessary to ensure continued application of patches, avoiding maintenance lapses that could lead to network outages and disrupt Defense Switched Network (DSN) connectivity across the Pacific and between the continental US and other international locations. The contract will be awarded under commercial item acquisition rules and simplified acquisition procedures without full and open competition, as authorized by the relevant FAR clauses. This notice serves only as an intent to award and is not a solicitation for proposals or quotes. The contracting agency is Ditco-pac under the Department of Defense, with the contract management office based in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The point of contact for this procurement is a designated contract specialist, ensuring communications are centralized and formal inquiries via phone are discouraged. The renewal contract will provide annual security software upgrades and the ongoing right to use the installed software necessary to maintain secure and reliable switching system operations.

Full Description

This is a notice of intent to award a firm fixed price contract to LGS Innovations LLC to support the JHITS switching network which currently consists of three 5ESS Compact Digital Switches (CDX) configured with Netra20 Administrative Services Module (ASM) and seven Very Compact Digital Switches (VCDX) configured with the Netra240 Distinctive Remote Module (DRM). These Netra platforms provide the administrative workstation functionality for the JHITS switches and currently are based on the Sun/Oracle Solaris 10 operating system. Sun/Oracle releases security information assurance patches which must be applied to the DOD deployed systems correcting open Information Assurance Vulnerability Alert (IAVA) issues identified for operational systems deployed throughout DOD. The JHITS switches are deployed operations systems that support the DOD which will require necessary security patches to resolve open IAVA issues. The existing IAVA security upgrade contract in place today to support JHITS will expire on 31 December 2015. To ensure the IAVA security upgrades are applied to the JHITS switching system, a renewal contract is required. Without this service, the JHITS switches and software upgrades will lapse and maintenance will not be available causing significant risks affecting operational conditions that could lead to service failures and network outages. This would negatively impact DSN connectivity throughout the Pacific and connectivity between CONUS and other countries would be lost. This Notice of Intent is not a request for Expressions of Interest (EOI), proposals, or quotations. No solicitation document exists and no telephone inquiries will be accepted. This purchase will be under the Acquisition of Commercial Items, FAR Part 12, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, FAR Part 13, and Other Than Full and Open Competition as authorized under FAR 6.302-1.
