Contract Number: (completed by the KO at time of Contract or TO award) Task Order Number: (completed by the KO at time of TO award or N/A) Contractor Name (completed by the KO at time of Contract or TO award) Tracking Number: (completed by the KO when complete package is received) Previous Contract and Task Order Number:

The effort is new and subsumes ENCORE II Contract number HC1028-08-D-2016; Task Order number VC04

1. Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). See Section G.5., Points of Contact, which will be included in the awarded Contract.

2. Contract Title. Mission Partner Environment-Services (MPE-S)

3. Background. MPE-S is a new requirement to supply the full-range of Mission Partner Environment (MPE)-compatible services and associated supply items to the Department of Defense (DoD) and its Mission Partners (MPs).

The emergent MPE “connects nations, decision makers, staffs, and people to common information and data resources. It is leader centric and network enabled, reflecting the commander’s decision-making requirements balanced against risk. Operationally, improved information sharing enables the commander’s ability to create unity of effort, possess speed of command and build trust during Mission Partnered operations. It is the essence of our ability to fight as one team with our Mission Partners.” (Source: “Business Case Analysis: Final, Mission Partner Environment – Information System (MPE-IS) V1.0, July 29, 2016).

The MPE utilizes an operational framework to provide the DoD and its Mission Partners (MPs) effective information sharing and data exchange through planning, preparation, training, and execution of operations. The operational framework allows MPE members to develop a network for rapid information sharing and data exchange in a common language and at a prescribed security classification level. MPE facilitates the connection, reception, collection, correlation, gathering, and sharing of information from multiple and often disparate MP networks to the appropriate end users in order to increase situational awareness, informed decision making, collaboration, and successful mission execution, training, testing, experimentation, and operational events.

The MPE information sharing and data exchange environment allows for both: (1) continuous information sharing between the DoD and MPs, and (2) episodic information sharing and data exchange arrangements for specific missions, which may include unanticipated partners. Services and associated supply items related to the “Steady State Operation of the MPE” allow continuous information sharing between the DoD and MPs to occur on an ongoing and uninterrupted basis. Episodic information sharing and data exchange arrangements often require “Design, Development and Transition of MPE Services, Programs, Releases and Projects” to enable short-term episodic arrangements to be established on a rapid basis.

The episodic MPE operational framework requires the rapid establishment of an information sharing and data exchange, tailored to a specific mission, with unanticipated partners, and with minimal notice. The episodic MPE framework employs a federated network model where multiple, different MP networks utilizing different applications and tools are connected in order to share and/or exchange specified information and/or data.

Capabilities available under this Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) Contract include advanced design, prototyping, development, testing and implementation of new technologies and approaches, and Tier 2 and 3 services.

In addition to MPE SECRET//RELEASABLE networks and information systems, MPE also includes an Unclassified Information Sharing Systems (UISS) portfolio, which features the All Partners Access Network (APAN). APAN is the premier unclassified information sharing and collaboration enterprise for the DoD.

4. Objectives.

The Contractor shall supply all services and associated equipment to design, implement and operate the MPE enterprise. The Contractor shall ensure all services and associated equipment conform to, or are compatible with, MPE architecture, standards, and specifications. The Contractor shall interface its activities with other Contractors performing local MPE-S for the Combatant Commands (CCMDs) and other DoD components.

5. Scope.

The scope is to provide full MPE life cycle services at the enterprise level for all legacy and emergent Multinational Information Sharing (MNIS)/MPE networks, systems and projects. This Contract will specifically provide on an on-demand basis, the full array of services and all functional elements such as capabilities and requirements analysis;

engineering; engineering management; software development; business management; program management; the provision of information technology (IT) equipment, interconnected system(s), or subsystem(s) of equipment; life cycle logistics; and, test and evaluation and associated items of supply, equipment, hardware, software, parts, tools and infrastructure to the MPE-IS and any related program, system, project, study, or other efforts, including legacy systems contributing to, or interfacing with, the MPE-IS, which are needed to deploy and operate the worldwide MPE. This Contract will also provide the full-range of services for Command, Control, Communications, Computer and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Systems and any related or successor systems to the Combatant Command, Service, or Agency (CC/S/A)’s and any other DoD components engaged in any manner in supporting the MPE.

Specific details of task assignments, deliverables, delivery locations, documentation, training, applicable Government/DoD/Customer/Industry standards will be provided within individual Task Orders.

Four task areas constitute the technical scope of this Contract:

Task Area 1: Contract and Task Order Management Task Area 2: Design, Development and Transition of MPE Services, Programs, Releases and Projects Task Area 3: Steady State Operation of the MPE Task Area 4: Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM)

The Government may require surge support during the base or any option period. Surge modifications will be within the scope of the Contract and any Task Order issued under this Contract and will provide increased services for the defined task areas of this PWS. Surge support over the life of the Contract will not exceed 35% of the Contractor’s total proposed cost/price for the base and all option periods, including a six-month extension of services pursuant to

FAR 52.217-8.
