PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)
Washington Headquarters Services (WHS) Facility Services Directorate (FSD) Integrated Tracking System and Digital Mail Modernization (ITS/DMM) Support Services
1. GENERAL: This is a non-personnel services contract to provide maintenance and support services for the Integrated Tracking System/Digital Mail Modernization (ITS/DMM). The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein.
1.1. Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel and support necessary to perform ITS/DMM maintenance and support services, which will enable the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), Pentagon Force Protection Agency (PFPA), and other Department of Defense (DoD) Components to achieve their functional missions and objectives in support of the Secretary of Defense.
1.2. Background: DoD Directive 5110.4, requires WHS to manage the Pentagon and DoD-occupied, General Services Administration-controlled administrative space in the National Capital Region (NCR). WHS Directorates, Facilities Services Directorate (FSD) and Executive Services Directorate (ESD), as well as the Pentagon Force Protection Agency (PFPA) currently use the ITS/ DMM to input, manage, and report on incoming vehicles, packages, mail and other data associated with activities. The ITS/DMM system, along with the commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software products, BearTracks and WebDOX, manages the digital images of the packages, mail, and other associated software, hardware, and equipment.
The ITS system was originally implemented in 2005 based on the requirements of FSD Dockmaster and PFPA to track vehicles, people, and material coming into the Pentagon reservation. The material tracking aspect of ITS is handled by the Bear River Associates, Inc. COTS product. The vehicle and people tracking aspect of ITS is unique to the Dockmaster and PFPA. DMM was designed to enhance the mail support to the Secretary of Defense and Deputy Secretary of Defense along with other top-level executives and the entire Pentagon population. The system facilitates speed of delivery and enhances mail security. It takes advantage of "Green initiatives" by reducing unwanted junk mail and reducing or eliminating delivery of paper mail. DMM enables digital routing and management of inbound mail and integrates with ITS system. The entire ITS/DMM system and all its associated components will be referred to as ITS/DMM system hereafter.
The ITS/DMM system consists of an integrated software, equipment, and hardware solution that provides the Pentagon Reservation and the NCR with the automated capabilities and functionality for tracking and identifying vehicles and material. The ITS/DMM System incorporates multiple pieces of software, equipment, and hardware, from multiple manufactures, that has been customized and integrated into one system.
1.3. Objectives: The purpose of this PWS is to provide maintenance and support services to the ITS/DMM system in support of the WHS Directorates, FSD, ESD, and PFPA. Performance under this contract will support the Pentagon and DoD-occupied, General Services Administration (GSA)-controlled administrative space in the NCR. The ITS/DMM System incorporates multiple pieces of software, equipment, and hardware, from multiple manufactures, that has been customized and integrated into one system.
1.4. Scope:
The contractor personnel shall assist the Government in performing maintenance and support services for the ITS/DMM system and shall be responsible for the following below:
a. Hardware and Software Modernization, Integration and Implementation
