1.0 Introduction

The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has a requirement to provide enterprise-wide information technology (IT) services and distribution to USSOCOM and all of its respective Components and Theater Special Operations Commands (TSOCs), through a more modern, flexible, scalable, performance-based service management and delivery framework known as Special Operations Forces Information Technology Enterprise Contracts (SITEC).

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 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.

USSOCOM is establishing an Information Technology Management Office (ITMO) that will manage the acquisition, transition, coordination, and ongoing management of all IT service areas to provide enterprise-wide consistency and standardization in support 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 all production networks 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. 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 management of all SITEC services through multiple IT service providers and creation of a well-integrated service delivery team environment for the Command’s mission supporting all global IT infrastructure and operations. In order for

USSOCOM it to achieve its objectives, USSOCOM requires the services of a highly qualified IT networks service provider with the skills and experience to provide enterprise-wide support for provisioning, operating, administering, troubleshooting, repairing, and managing all of aspects of USSOCOM’s data, voice, and video networks (Enterprise Network Contractor). These networks include the USSOCOM wide area network(s) (WAN), metropolitan area network(s) (MAN), campus area network(s) (CAN), local area network(s) (LAN), Virtual Private Network (VPN), Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Networks, Video Networks, Test and Integration network, and network- related Information Assurance activities, as well as other networking technology as may be deployed at a future date in a manner that will meet specific objectives identified below.

The Enterprise Network Contractor shall plan and perform the initial transition process to migrate the various IT network services from the USSOCOM Enterprise Information Technology Contract (EITC), which expires 31 March 2011, to the USSOCOM SITEC-selected Enterprise Networks service provider (the EN Contractor). As IT network services are transitioned to the Enterprise Network Contractor, the EN Contractor shall provide support to the ITMO, and any designated representative(s), in coordinating the integration and implementation of all interdependent IT service area technology and services with all other IT service providers and their representatives during transition, as well as ongoing management throughout the duration of the agreement. USSOCOM’s goal is to establish a well-coordinated, collaborative, tightly-integrated cross-discipline IT service provider delivery team comprised of the collective set of all SITEC service providers.

2.0 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.

USSOCOM is comprised of: a headquarters at MacDill Air Force Base (AFB), FL; one sub-unified command—the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC)—at Fort Bragg, NC; and four component commands: the United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) at Fort Bragg, NC, the Naval Special Warfare Command (NAVSOC) at Coronado, CA, the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) at Hurlburt Field, FL, and the Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) at Camp Lejeune, NC. In addition, each of the Combatant Commanders has an attached TSOC that provides theater-related special operations strategy and planning efforts.

The SIE is USSOCOM’s worldwide IT infrastructure. The SIE encompasses all SOF IT assets throughout the Command, down to the deployed sensor and shooter. The SIE houses USSOCOM’s data centers and related enterprise services, as well as SOF’s global terrestrial and satellite connectivity. The current SIE vision and concept of operations has been documented by USSOCOM Chief Information Office (CIO) organization and is considered an underpinning set of Information Technology (IT) capabilities required for the SOF community.

Unless otherwise specifically identified, throughout the remainder of this document, all references to USSOCOM, USSOCOM enterprise, and enterprise-wide shall be considered to be all inclusive of all IT infrastructure hardware, software, and networks, and applications utilized within USSOCOM, USASOC, NAVSOC, AFSOC, MARSOC, JSOC, and TSOCs, as well as all related sites and facilities.

The remainder of this document is organized as follows:

• Section 3 of this PWS describes significant applicable conditions that apply to all of the services that the contractor shall deliver under this PWS.

• Section 4 of this PWS describes the overall governance and operational framework under which the contractor shall perform its services.

• Section 5 describes the general scope and extent of the services that the contractor shall provide.

• Section 6 describes the high-level transition-in tasks and activities that the contractor shall perform and the Government will retain responsibility to in transition the Enterprise Network Service Area operations from an existing service provider to the Enterprise Network Contractor.

• Section 7 describes the post-transition ITIL-based services and associated tasks and activities that the Enterprise Network Contractor shall perform and Government will retain responsibility for day-to-day delivery and management of the Enterprise Network Service Area operations.

• Section 8 describes the high-level tasks and activities that the contractor shall perform pertaining to transitioning the Enterprise Network Service Area operations to a Government-designated service provider as a result of expiration or termination of the contract.
