Questions & Answers

1. Question: Sec L, L-7.E.2.a (pg 39). RFP states: “Creating and maintaining MW/MD JCIDS products to include mandated architecture products using UML and OO methodology.” This methodology is not DoD mandated and is not the approach currently being used in this mission area. This reference to UML and OO methodology is not consistent with M-4.D.2.a. Recommend change to: “Creating and maintaining MW/MD JCIDS products to include mandated architecture products using Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) Version 2.0 compliant methodology.” This makes it consistent with M-4.D.2.a.
