1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
1.1 Background
1.1.1 The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) and its component service commands require a solution to provide a geospatial services and a common set of information technology tools and applications for execution, reporting, visualization, collaboration and dissemination of geospatial information. Central to this is a collaboration suite of tools along with a central geospatial data catalog and services. This capability need for an enterprise Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) mapping solution and a repository for all the GIS related data, builds on the Enterprise Geospatial
Information System (EGIS) enterprise tool. This requirement focuses on sustaining, enhancing, creating new capability, and integrating the GIS common tool set for visualization and exposing geospatially referenced information to support situational awareness and collaboration. The solution will integrate into and with a variety of applications and portals. The GIS mapping solution is based on Esri ArcGIS technology which supports a robust set of functions required for consistent data visualization throughout the enterprise and forms the baseline for enterprise geospatial services. USTRANSCOM also requires a web-based geospatial system that enhances its mission to manage and improve the global deployment and distribution. This requirement is currently satisfied by the Intelligent Road and Rail Information System
(IRRIS®). The new system will replicate IRRIS® as-is capability and business rules acting as a real-time global asset tracking system that enables transportation users to obtain detailed, timely and relevant information about road conditions, construction, traffic events and weather that might interfere with the surface movement of cargo within a particular geographic location. It also allows the real-time tracking and management of transportation assets using geospatial technology to reduce operational burdens and provide ad-hoc reporting and alerting tools. This system will directly support the Defense Transportation
Tracking Service (DTTS) and Defense Courier Division (DCD) at USTRANSCOM with mission specific capabilities based on their business rules. Additionally, geospatial analytic tools enable transportation engineers and analysts to conduct quick table top analysis of transportation infrastructure and natural/manmade conditions that affect that infrastructure. Interoperability between this system and
EGIS is highly critical to this procurement.
1.1.2. USTRANSCOM EGIS provides a GIS framework on the SIPRNET/NIPRNET environments to enable the sharing of geospatial data and imagery across the Command. EGIS includes the enterprise map viewer, enterprise catalog and enterprise collaboration solution. EGIS provides a place where enterprise GIS data is discoverable throughout the Command. The GIS Analyst and operational users will be able to search for data created by other GIS initiatives within the Command to be used in conjunction with their requirements to produce map products. This continued partnership leverages
Command hardware, software, data, and analysis resources to incorporate the most useful and relevant information for USTRANSCOM GIS (TGIS) users. The TGIS provides an integrated web enabled real-time geospatial mission management and tracking of critical assets in the Defense Transportation System, web-based geospatial engineering analysis, and situational awareness capabilities. The TGIS will require data exchange interfaces, integration of appropriate web services, and application business rules to satisfy mission requirements. The TGIS and EGIS must operate from the same support hardware and COTS software to maintain hardware and program management efficiencies required by the government.
1.2 Scope

1.3.2.1.1 Technical Requirements
As the Distribution Process Owner (DPO), USTRANSCOM is responsible for directing and supervising the execution of the Joint Deployment Distribution Enterprise (JDDE). The Command's critical mission requires close synchronization of military services, commercial providers, and coalition partners across a global environment.
Since being named DPO in 2003, USTRANSCOM has delivered a robust Joint Deployment and
Distribution Architecture (JDDA) documenting the "as is" state of the JDDE. The JDDA has been an essential resource over the last five years as USTRANSCOM led increasingly complex distribution-related activities supporting deployment, sustainment, and redeployment operating in multiple theaters.
To make better investment decisions and through continued process improvement efforts, USTRANSCOM shifted its architectural focus from the current state of the JDDE to the "to be" vision of its Net Centric future defined in terms of a Corporate Service Vision (CSV). The CSV establishes the goal of creating an enhanced version of the JDDA, referred to as the Joint Deployment and Distribution
Architecture-Enhanced (JDDA-E). The JDDA-E transforms the JDDE from a collection of program-centric stovepipes into an enterprise-governed, interoperable, service-oriented system driven by enterprise requirements.
The JDDA-E is designed to maximize service reuse opportunities, to focus investments, and ensure operational alignment. The JDDA-E ensures complete, actionable information for more reliable decisions. The following describes JDDA-E intended uses:
Requirements Management – Traces incoming requirements from submission through implementation utilizing an integrated corporate governance process
Portfolio Management and Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC) – Prioritizes the investments over time to build and sustain operational capabilities
Strategic Planning and Capability Analysis – Provides a framework for assessing capability readiness, risks, performance, and facilitates new capability development and risk mitigation
Business Process Management – Improves agility and operational performance of business processes through active monitoring of existing operations and verification of new practices through modeling and simulation prior to implementation
Standardization – Prescribes the standard processes, information exchanges, and data to be used across the JDDE
Program Support and Guidance – Articulates the roles of programs within the JDDE and, by extension, their alignment to other DOD and Federal Enterprise Architectures (EAs). It also provides programs with knowledge of existing, standards-based options that they can “adopt” before they “buy” or “create”
The TGIS System program is part of the JDDE and, as such, is expected to adhere to the guidance and rules specified in the JDDA-E reference models (Governance, Mission, Performance, Service, Information Technical, and Program and Initiative) for BPM approach, SOA, information sharing, data management, performance measurement, etc. to support the DPO’s CSV.
The TGIS system, as an Acquisition Category (ACAT) III program, is required to comply with DODD
5000.01 and DODI 5000.02. The TGIS system is required to submit DODAF artifacts views in Joint
