R--U.S. Army Geospatial Center (AGC) Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) Support

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Army Geospatial Center (AGC) intends to award an Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for a two-year ordering period. The contract will have a minimum value of $200K and a maximum value of $9.99M. The contract scope of work consists of non-personal services in the areas of engineering, information technology, technical operations and professional services in support of the U.S. Army Geospatial Center (USAGC) and its customers, both in the continental United States (CONUS) and at other than continental United States (OCONUS) locations. Performance may occur during wartime and in hazardous locations. Requirements will include: (1) Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) support for various efforts including Joint and Coalition Targeting and Fires Coordination, and Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR). There is the potential that SETA support will expand into areas of Cyber Technology and Security, Stability Operations, Personnel Recovery, and existing capabilities such as the National Automated Coordination System (NACS), the Joint Automated Deep Operations Coordination System (JADOCS), and the DoD Defense Support to Civil Authority Automated Support System (DDASS). The SETA support includes planning, collection and analysis of data, proof of concept efforts, experiments, exercises, demonstrations (to include logistics demonstrations), configuration management and any other areas of consideration. (2) Information technology support for the USAGC Integration and Evaluation Center (IEC), and the Joint and Coalition C4I Experimentation Lab (JACCEL) that includes maintaining the network infrastructures both secret and unclassified, architecture development, IT applications and providing other enterprise solutions. (3) Fabrication and integration of hardware and software. (4) Operation, maintenance and training on Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems and applications. (5) Implementing new Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs), to include in Intelligence Community areas. (6) Incorporating various geospatial technologies for various Military Services training and doctrine organizations as it relates to weapons and C4ISR systems consistent with The Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership, and Education, Personnel and Facilities (DOTMLPF). (7) Providing technical and business process expertise and analysis for support of acquisition program documentation. (8) Process and analyze financial and manpower data. (9) Liaison to the Services and Combatant Commands (COCOMs). (10) Rapid Prototyping; and (11) Modeling and Simulation efforts. Individual task orders may include data classified up to TOP SECRET. The contractor team must maintain active Government security clearances, certifications, and experience to provide immediate support to the AGC and Warfighting customers worldwide. In addition to having a comprehensive knowledge of the various programs, the IT/SETA contractor is required to have expertise in the technologies under development and their associated technical and concept of operation (CONOP). Experience with the systems into which program(s) are able to potentially transition its products is also a requirement. Experience with the C4ISR tactical and strategic operational environment in which the C4ISR systems and organizations are employed is also required. The IT/SETA's duties include performance of technical planning and analysis functions necessary to assist in the successful emonstration, evaluation and transition of the program's technologies, operational software tool sets, CONOPs and TTPs. This shall take advantage of engineering practices, physical and life sciences, Geospatial Information Sciences (GIS) and military operational concepts and the DoD acquisition processes. The IT/SETA support contractor must have experience and expertise in instructional systems technologies to include course development, training evaluation, and platform instruction. The instruction development expertise will require domain knowledge in the C4ISR field and related military activities. The financial and administrative support includes detailed knowledge of the accounting processes used by the various programs. Various programs and organizations have a need for state-of-the-art Information Technology IT/SETA products and services. The contractor providing IT/SETA industry services must have expertise in a variety of hardware platforms (work stations, servers, routers, hubs, etc.), and applications. The IT/SETA contractor will perform technical assessments and risk analyses of proposed IT/SETA solutions. The AGC intends to satisfy these requirements competitively through the Small Business Administration (SBA) 8(a) program using full and open competition procedures. The RFP release date is anticipated to be on or approximately 5 June 2014. The RFP will be released via FedBizOpps.
