2. Background

USTRANSCOM requires continued Teradata hardware and software maintenance support.

Teradata hardware and software maintenance coverage is required for the Integrated Data

Environment / Global Transportation Network Convergence (IGC) program. The IGC program currently owns four Production Teradata Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) and two

Development/Test Data Warehouse Appliance (DWA) platforms, each connected to a Backup, Archive, and Recovery (BAR) solution (which offloads data to magnetic tape for storage), and sixteen Teradata Appliances (monitors the health of the EDW). All equipment is physically located within two Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Defense Enterprise Computing

Centers (DECCs). Teradata EDWs/DWAs, BARs, and Appliances includes both remote and on-site problem analysis, hardware repair, upgrade, component replacement, configuration/re-configuration, major and minor software upgrades, applying patches, release installation, implementing Field Repair Orders (FROs), conducting system health checks, technician response to trouble calls, and ensuring the equipment is restored to an operational state in a timely manner in the event an incident occurs. It also includes implementing security and/or configuration changes, host firewall modifications, and applying or reapplying latest Security Technical

Implementation Guides (STIGs) as identified by the Government in response to unforeseen threats, network attacks, or operational security risks.

The NAICS for this effort is 541519, Other Computer Related Services. The Small Business

Administration small business size standard for NAICS code 541519 is $27.5 million annual average receipts (total or gross income). The acquisition strategy of this requirement has yet to be determined.
