Scope:

Background

Logistics IT Portfolio Overview Program Executive Office (PEO) Manpower, Logistics, and Business Solutions (MLB) manages the Logistics (LOG) Information Technology (IT) portfolio which is composed of 300+ afloat and ashore IT systems/applications with 150,000+ users across all Naval Systems Commands (SYSCOMs) and Naval Operational Forces (NOF) to include ships, carriers, submarines, USN/USMC aviation squadrons, and Naval Expeditionary Forces. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is a joint user of LOG IT capabilities and will be considered as a part of the program requirements. LOG IT enables essential business operations, including the following capability pillars:

1. Naval Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (N-MRO)

· Plan, predict, schedule, and execute maintenance at the Organizational, Intermediate, and Depot levels

2. Naval Supply Chain Management (N-SCM) / (Naval Operational Supply System (NOSS))

· Plan, procure, receive, store, distribute, dispose and manage material, goods and services across all commodities and communities

3. Naval Product Lifecycle Management (N-PLM)

· Manage weapon system technical data required for life cycle support (configuration, Bill of Material, 3D models, readiness models, drawings, maintenance procedures)

· Provide workforce automation, optimization, and process standardization for program lifecycle management; integrate acquisition with the warfighter

4. Integration & Infrastructure (I&I)

· Facilitates data exchange and integration between modernized, legacy, and external IT systems

· Enables synchronization of enterprise and edge instances of all portfolio components

· Includes Logistics Information Network Connector (LINC) which provides a common platform hosting environment for LOG IT systems and applications

5. Logistics Integrated Data Environment (L-IDE)

· Aligning readiness data systems to support the other 4 pillars, enable analytics, and supports broader data efforts

N-MRO, N-SCM, N-PLM, L-IDE, and I&I capability pillars are currently undergoing modernization and limited deployment through Other Transaction Authority (OTA) orders and other means. LOG IT is also working closely with PEO MLB's technical team to align capability pillars to the Department of Navy (DON) initiatives.

Logistics IT Integration and Support Overview

Logistics IT Integration and Support (LIIS) is a series of acquisitions to provide efficient shared services to the LOG IT portfolio. LIIS consists of two acquisitions to accomplish the following goals:

· Acquisition #1 LOG IT Portfolio Integration (PI) – Performs Portfolio and System of Systems (SoS) level tasks:

· Goal #1: Portfolio Management – Portfolio management and integration of common capabilities, data, and support services. Improve service performance and reduce operational costs through reduction/elimination/automation of duplicative services, capabilities, and data sets.

· Goal #2: Integrated Platform and DevSecOps Pipeline – Implementation of an agile development process and an adaptable architecture for continuous modernization, integration, migration; and accelerate speed to fleet of logistics capabilities.

· Acquisition #2 [This PWS]: LOG IT Capability Modernization, Deployment, and Support (CMDS) – Perform program/system level tasks:

· Goal #3: Continuous CMDS – continuous CMDS of the N-MRO, N-SCM, N-PLM, L-IDE, and I&I capability solutions as part of or within the integrated platform and DevSecOps pipeline.

This CMDS PWS is for Acquisition #2 only. This LOG IT CMDS PWS describes the continuous capability modernization, deployment, and support tasks for the LOG IT systems undergoing modernization.
