Is the Government targeting to install the CADIS environments in the Suitland, MD MegaCenter with a backup solution in Battlecreek, MI or the two DHS Data Centers in Clarksville, VA and Stennis, MS?

This is generally the concept we are asking to have the contractor consider. The government is asking the contractor to propose a configuration that will meet our requirement as stated in the SOW. The final configuration will depend on the capabilities of the COTS product to support our needs.

Sections 5.3 & 5.4

FRD Section 2.0

The Government requests the Contractors to offer a solution based on the MegaCenter configuration.

If a determination is made that CADIS must run in the data center, there will be one primary and one backup data center. The contractor should consider this, but bid on the MegaCenter configuration.

Table 1 is shown as a sample format.
