1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
1.1. Background
The mission of the United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) is to develop and direct the Joint Deployment and Distribution Enterprise to globally project strategic national security capabilities; accurately sense the operating environment; provide end-to-end distribution process visibility; and responsive support of joint, US government and Secretary of Defense-approved multinational and non-governmental logistical requirements.
The USTRANSCOM’s Directorate of Command, Control, Communications & Computer Systems (TCJ6) is responsible for long-range planning, policy guidance, direction, technical, control, and program management for projects involving the development and implementation of major transportation management systems Department of Defense (DOD)-wide.
The USTRANSCOM Directorate of Acquisitions (TCAQ) is responsible for partnering with industry and customers to develop and execute innovative acquisition solutions supporting the Command's full-spectrum, deployment and distribution mission. The Distribution Process Owner Division (TCAQ-D) provides responsive, flexible contracting support for USTRANSCOM DPO initiatives and Surface Deployment and Distribution Command National Level Transportation System requirements. Support includes, but is not limited to, commercial and non-commercial software development and related support services; Advisory and Assistance Services, management support services, ancillary support services; classified and unclassified network support, and Research and Development. Its major programs are: Agile Transportation for the 21st Century (AT21), Integrated Booking System (IBS), Global Freight Management (GFM), Defense Personal Property System (DPS), Enterprise Support Services (ESS), System Response Call Center, Total Supply Chain Process Improvement, Joint Distribution Process Analysis Center (JDPAC), Program Management Office (PMO) Support, Corporate Services Support (CSS), Integrated Computerized Deployment System (ICODES) and Automatic Identification Technology (AIT) Support.
The mission of the US Air Force Air Mobility Command Directorate of Command, Control, Communications, and Computer Information Systems (AMC/A6) is to provide integrated Command, Control, Communications, and Computer Information (C4I) systems and manage strategic C4I resources in support of AMC's global air mobility mission. AMC/A6CI manages the integration of the communications-computer systems via enterprise-wide planning, systems engineering, architecture development, and interoperability processes. AMC/A6CI ensures technical solutions for AMC C4I systems are in compliance with DOD, USTRANSCOM, US Air Force, and joint architecture and integration goals. AMC/A6CI is responsible for two separate interoperability roles: Air Force (appropriation funded) and Joint (Transportation Working Capital Funds).
The mission of the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command Communications Directorate (SDDC G6) is to manage the integration of the communications-computer systems via enterprise-wide planning, systems engineering, architecture development, and interoperability processes. SDDC G6/IMA Enterprise Services Branch provides the enterprise architecture, data integration, and engineering support which drives capability-based technical solutions within the command and ensures SDDC systems comply with DOD, USTRANSCOM, US Army, and joint architecture and integration strategies and objectives.
To achieve greater efficiencies and collaboration, the Government decided to combine the USTRANSCOM Enterprise Architecture (EA) (including data management and architecture tools), and enterprise engineering contracts with the equivalent AMC and SDDC contracts. The EA data currently resides in three independent repositories, managed by three independent tools.
With this consolidated contract, the Government expects an integrated architecture tool suite.
1.2. Scope
This Performance Work Statement (PWS) is to acquire EA and information technology engineering services for USTRANSCOM, AMC/A6, and SDDC’s Automated Transport Systems Division (AMSSD-IMA), all located at Scott AFB, IL.
This PWS procures an integrated enterprise architecture from the enterprise level down through the solution level and across solution level architectures. Integration is achieved through the architecture tool suite, the use of standardized templates and guidelines, training, and the architecture review process. The work effort will support analytical services required to support and implement USTRANSCOM, AMC and SDDC operational and system requirements solutions. The Contractor must possess a comprehensive understanding of the DOD Architecture Framework (DODAF), the Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEAF) and the relationships/dependencies between architecture models to support assigned projects. The scope of the architecture and data management services contained in this PWS includes the operational and system perspectives of Command and Control (C2), planning, transportation, logistics, and business support system domains. Using established strategic vision documentation, the Contractor will provide architecture and data management support. This allows Government personnel to conduct impact analysis on the enterprise, systems of systems, and individual system levels. Systems administration of the tools that house the architecture and data artifacts is also required.
