2. Background

The Joint Enabling Capabilities Command provides mission-tailored, joint capability packages to Combatant Commanders in order to facilitate rapid establishment of Joint Force Headquarters and bridge joint operational requirements. The JECC delivers unmatched joint operational command and control enablers to Joint Force Commanders conducting emergent full spectrum operations. JECC Command, Control, Communications, and Cyber (C4) Systems (C4S) Directorate (J6) provides essential Command, Control, Communications, and Collaboration Support (C5S) services to the JECC Commander in performance of the command’s mission to provide mission-tailored, joint capability packages to meet national security objectives.

The JECC C5 network environment interfaces with numerous on-site and remote commercial, DOD, military service specific, and other common-user networks. Together, these network environments culminate into one of four distinct operating environments--Secret Internet

Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET), Non-secure Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNET), Department of Defense Intelligence Information System (DODIIS)/Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System (JWICS), and the commercial internet. A myriad of applications make use of the JECC C5 infrastructures by providing access and services to the JECC user community.

The anticipated NAICS for this effort is 541513, Computer Facilities Management Services.

The Small Business Administration small business size standard for NAICS code 541513, Computer Facilities Management Services is $30.0 million annual average receipts (total or gross income) over the past three years. The acquisition strategy of this requirement has yet to be determined.
