Performance Work Statement (PWS)
Operation Flank Speed Support Services
29 February 2024
1.0 Background:
The Navy is transitioning from an on-premise architecture to a cloud centric, Zero Trust, architecture that enables secure access to the Microsoft Azure “Flank Speed” open and flexible cloud computing platform. The initiatives are aimed at bolstering Cloud Computing productivity services and improving resiliency in the Classified and
Unclassified environments while delivering services across the Continental United States (CONUS) and outside
CONUS (OCONUS). Efforts will provide enhanced mobile and telecommuting capabilities, along with maximizing security and availability, while leveraging cloud efficiencies that include Machine Learning and Artificial
Intelligence. Contractor support will include sustaining the current Azure Impact Level (IL) 4/5 security environment, support standing up a classified IL6 cloud environment, implementing efficiencies across both tenants, and delivering weekly status reports depicting network health and user impact.
Contractor support will augment the management, sustainment, and support for IL 4/5 environments, and establish
IL6 support model for the Azure-based enterprise cloud architectures. The enterprise architectures are designed to support robust authentication, device hardening, and the reduction of the overall attack surface; improvements shall enhance capabilities to detect and quickly respond to adversarial activities. The implementation of Flank Speed services are instrumental in elevating the Navy's cybersecurity posture and advancing all concepts demanded in a
Zero Trust model. Furthermore, Microsoft Azure expertise is sought-after to facilitate expanding the existing
Operation Flank Speed (OFS) infrastructure, including integrating with Naval Identity Services (NIS), the execution of design refinements, the deployment of additional advanced security features through automation, and the incorporation of new collaboration functionalities. These capabilities are essential to enhancing Zero Trust principles while further improving capabilities that include Azure Hyper Converged (HCI) stacks that deliver enhanced computing power and more adaptable access to the Microsoft Azure Cloud and M365.
2.0 Objective:
The objective is to procure a non-personal services contract to aid the government in various efforts, including
Service Strategy and Design, Service Operations, Service Transition, and Continual Service Improvements across the cloud tenant. Contractor Support must include, but not limited to architectural design, network monitoring, process development, sustainment, implementation, and operation of advanced security automation and collaboration features. These capabilities are essential to facilitate maximum access to Microsoft Azure Cloud services in a rapidly changing operational networking environment. Network access to the maximum extent feasible is crucial for users operating remotely (teleworking) or on-site, utilizing Department of Defense (DoD) networks, and shall align with the guidance as outlined in USCYBERCOM PLANORD 20-0042. Additionally, contractor services are required to deliver ongoing support for OFS account management (i.e., e-Discovery, Records
Management, Litigation Hold, etc.), and the migration of specific network components, along with all associated support activities. This framework, founded on Azure identity and security services, will enable maximum access and secure convergence of both IL5 and IL6 networks that span across ONENet, NMCI, IT-21/CANES, and
Excepted networks. The totality of all efforts are crucial to broadening cloud capabilities, maximizing resiliency, and implementing state-of-the art technical advances using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning; all work is intended to fully support future application integration as part of the broader Navy cloud migration strategy.
3.0 Scope:
The scope of work encompasses the management of operational data spanning several Impact Levels (IL) of information management, including IL 4, 5, and 6, while addressing all use cases involving Controlled Unclassified
Information (CUI) and Navy Nuclear Propulsion Information (NNPI). For direct contractor support within the IL6 environment, access to classified information at government facilities is required for all support staff. The ongoing implementation of an architecture that supports cloud services and the adoption of Zero Trust principles represents a significant transformation for both the Navy and the broader DoD. This transformation will demand substantial efforts, including the update or drafting security policies, the re-engineering of systems, and the retraining of personnel to effectively operate, maintain, and secure the Azure Cloud environment. Furthermore, the Navy will continue to maximize the utilization of new collaboration and productivity features that require meticulous planning, engineering, configuration, and change management. The Navy's strategy also includes migrating additional excepted networks and new applications into the OFS architecture. Future architecture improvements include implementing enterprise cloud solutions that include installing Azure HCI Stacks that will effectively bring cloud services closer to end-users. This shift aligns with network resiliency and the Navy's objectives to enable an enhanced teleworking environment while concurrently reducing data center footprints and embracing cybersecurity principles, such as Zero Trust.
The ongoing development of the enterprise Azure cloud framework is crucial as it will facilitate centralized management and monitoring, improve network flexibility, and expedite the expansion of increased compute capacity and mission workloads where required. Additionally, this contract will support implementing a Records
Management capability within the Flank Speed tenant to meet Department of the Navy (DON) data retention, legal
Litigation Hold, CAPSTONE requirements and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) search requests.
4.0 Period of Performance:
The performance period is anticipated include one (1) 3-week transition period, one (1) 11-month and 1-week base year, four (4) twelve-month option years and one (1) six (6) month option pursuant to FAR 52.217-8 – Option to
