Introduction The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has a requirement to establish an Information Technology Management Office (ITMO) to provide enterprise-wide information technology (IT) delivery management services to USSOCOM and all its respective Components and Theater Special Operations Commands (TSOCs), to a more modern, flexible, scalable, performance-based service management and delivery framework known as Special Operations Forces Information Technology Enterprise Contracts (SITEC).
For the purposes of this acquisition, the SITEC service delivery environment is comprised of a series of interconnected IT systems whose purpose is the integration of information, applications and processes throughout USSOCOM’s global operations as well as across Department of Defense (DoD) organizational boundaries.
The SITEC acquisitions will contribute to enhancing USSOCOM’s ability to support the USSOCOM mission, as well as meet the net-centric DoD acquisition parameters. Led by the ITMO, the SITEC acquisitions will contribute to an enterprise-wide information-age transformation by building the foundation for increased operations efficiency, capabilities, and delivery flexibility through standardized and consistently-applied policies, procedures, oversight, resource allocation, and the provision of value-added support.
The ITMO will manage the acquisition of three major services: (a) operations, maintenance, and continuous enhancement of the USSOCOM IT systems, as well as the evolution or replacement of these systems, to achieve the target state SOF Information Environment (SIE) through an ongoing series of integrated and interdependent engineering activities; (b) multi-tier, end-user support of 74,000+ SITEC users in every country where USSOCOM has a presence on a 24-hour, 365-day a year basis using various communications channels, including telephone, email, web chat, voice/video teleconferencing; and (c) operations and maintenance of the production network and production workstations used directly in the management and operation of USSOCOM global IT environment.
Information Technology (IT) is a significant enabler of the USSOCOM mission. USSOCOM requires continuing support for the operations and maintenance of the Command’s IT environment. Through the SITEC acquisitions, USSOCOM seeks IT services from best-of-breed providers covering the full spectrum of IT requirements on a global scale. To contribute to USSOCOM mission achievement, IT services must be well-integrated, flexible, and adaptable across all IT service areas, with the ability to rapidly scale in response to USSOCOM’s dynamic mission requirements.
The ITMO is responsible for USSOCOM’s management of SITEC services through multiple IT service providers and create a well-integrated service delivery team environment for the Command’s mission supporting all global IT infrastructure and operations. In order for USSOCOM to achieve its objectives, through the IT Service Management Contractor (referred to hereafter as the ITSMC or Contractor) acquisition, USSOCOM requires the services of a highly qualified IT service provider with the skills and experience to provide expert services in developing, documenting, structuring, implementing, coordinating, and monitoring the delivery of USSOCOM’s IT Service Management (ITSM) processes, procedures, performance, and continuous improvement of all of USSOCOM’s IT service areas.
The ITSM Contractor will support and enhance the ITMO service management capabilities and to help the ITMO coordinate, integrate, and synchronize the capabilities and services of best-of-breed IT service providers. The ITSM Contractor will provide a common management focus to support USSOCOM and the ITMO and help USSOCOM to achieve greater efficiency and a highly reliable and cohesive IT environment. In addition, the ITSM Contractor will implement, staff, operate, and manage an integrated Service Desk that provides the ITMO with direct control, support, and insight into the complete USSOCOM enterprise-wide IT environment.
The ITSM Contractor shall support the ITMO in coordinating, integrating, and synchronizing the services from best-of-breed IT Services Area providers, specifically:
1. Data Center Services, including enterprise-wide centrally- and remotely-located servers and data storage equipment and software (single award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ))
2. Enterprise Network Services, including all enterprise-wide WAN and LAN data, voice, and video networking equipment and software (single award ID/IQ)
3. Distributed Computing Services, including all enterprise-wide end-user computing hardware and associated software and peripheral devices (single award ID/IQ)
4. Application Management Services, including development, maintenance, and support of enterprise and command level applications (multiple award ID/IQ)
5. Specialty Services, including any combination of the above four IT service areas in support of Command-specific requirements (multiple award ID/IQ)
6. C4I Production Services, including development and production of IT hardware and software solutions required to support unique mission needs, such as C4I TACLAN systems (multiple ID/IQ contracts) Through the ITSMC acquisition, USSOCOM expects the Contractor to support ITMO in establishing and maintaining enterprise-level standardized IT processes and methodologies that align with the industry standard IT Service Management framework defined in Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL), version 3. USSOCOM also expects the ITSM Contractor to support the ITMO with the initial transition process to migrate the various IT services from the existing USSOCOM Enterprise Information Technology Contract (EITC), which expires 31 March 2011, to the USSOCOM SITEC-selected IT service providers. As IT services are transitioned to the new service providers, USSOCOM expects the ITSM Contractor to provide support to the ITMO in the integration, coordination, and ongoing management of the service delivery activities of the collective set of IT service providers to develop and establish a coherent, collaborative, tightly-integrated IT service delivery team.
Background and Historical Summary USSOCOM was formed in 1987 and is a unified combatant command of the Department of Defense. USSOCOM’s mission is to provide fully capable Special Operations Forces (SOF) to defend the United States and its interests, and to plan and synchronize operations against terrorist networks. USSOCOM is responsible for training and equipping all DoD SOF to perform missions anywhere in the world at any time. Specific responsibilities of USSOCOM include developing, acquiring, integrating, fielding, and supporting special operations peculiar equipment, material, supplies and systems and ensuring the interoperability of equipment and forces.
