Digital Storefront (DSF). Electronics for Imaging, Inc. (EFI) is the owner of the DSF application and offers use of the software through perpetual and term licensing.

DSF is a web to print application that provides quick print vendors the ability to receive and process printing requests through a web application. DSO supports the J67 Strategic Data Services and Customer Support Representatives mission in the management, operations, and processing of print orders from various Army, Air Force, Navy and DoD customers. The DSF application enables users to add plug-ins and extensions to configure and customize the application to fit their individual processing environments. To satisfy government unique requirements, five (5) plug-ins or extension to the commercial DSF software application were developed by a government contractor. Because the sustainment and maintenance efforts of the plug-ins and extensions require extensive knowledge of the DSF application, DSF experience is a mandatory requirement. The development and maintenance of these plug-ins and extensions were done by Web2print Experts, Inc, initially under SP4701-10-C-0038 as a subcontractor, and presently as a prime under contract SP4701-17-C-0080. DLA requires continued sustainment and integration support for the existing plug-ins and future plugs-ins and extensions into DSF.

The plug-ins and extensions incorporated in the EFI software makeDSF a unique product with unique capabilities. In addition, the size of the DLA deployment (66 brick and mortar print facilities worldwide and 93 virtual printing storefronts) makes the support for the DSO application unique.

DLA has a requirement for sustainment and integration services in support of the plug-ins and extension incorporated in the EFI software as new updates to the DSF EFI product are released. Any new DSF EFI releases must work seamlessly and in conjunction with the integrated plug-ins and extensions that presently exist and that will be developed under this procurement action. The government requires maintenance of the existing integrated plug-ins and extensions, configuration customization and deployment, to include user training of new integrated plug-ins and extensions for new features that become available under future releases of the EFI DSF product, as well as support to make all code and configuration changes comply with present and future Information Assurance (IA) requirements.

DLA anticipates awarding a firm-fixed price contract for this requirement.

The total estimated dollar value for the requirement is The estimated dollar value consists of one (1) 12-month base year estimated at and one (1) 12-month option estimated at .
