Decision Support Center IT Upgrade Projects 25 June 2026

1.1 DESCRIPTION OF REQUIRING ORGANIZATION. The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) Decision Support Center (DSC) conducts senior leader seminars, and other Special Operations Forces (SOF) Operational Planning Events to directly support the USSCOM Commander in achieving operational and planning priorities for SOF. These events require visualizing, displaying, synchronizing, and rehearsing operational and mission concepts in terms of time, space and prioritization during multiple Commander’s directed leadership events. To meet this requirement, the Government has transformed the DSC into a Decision Support Theater with a Virtual Planning Workplace (VPW) capable of supporting many different types of events supporting various mission planning activities. The entire DSC facility is made up of 4 rooms; the main theater (110), an overflow room (222), an alternate main room (115) and a conference room (114). Room #110 operates as the main operating control center with rooms #110, #222 and #115 operating as part of the synchronized control infrastructure (i.e. displays and audio/visual for each room can be controlled from room #110). These rooms are also able to be controlled independent of room #110 with operator stations in each room.

1.2 TASK PURPOSE/SCOPE

The purpose of this task is to incorporate room #114 into the synchronized control infrastructure, as well as provide upgrades to the existing DSC computer and audio-visual systems. The required tasks are:

Contractor shall remove existing DVLED video wall processor and install an upgraded one. (See Section 3.0.1 for details.)

Contractor shall install a DVLED video wall processor for the DVLED video floor that currently does not utilize one. (See Section 3.0.1 for details.)

Contractor shall upgrade DSC audio station and completely re-wire all 3 DSC control stations so that they are all identical in control functionality. (See Section 3.0.1 for details.)

Contractor shall install ThinkLogical ICT18 computers and consolidate Room #114s computers to Room #136. (See Section 3.0.2 for details.)

Contractor shall install a Silicone Core DVLED video wall in Room #115, utilizing the provided government furnished equipment (GFE) Silicone Core LED panels. (See Section 3.0.3 for details.)

2.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.
