Questions and Answers from Intel Apps All Source II Industry Day #2
1. How is the All Source II app different in function from CD-1? Is it just CD-1 in a different form factor for a different echelon?
Answer: The All-Source II App is a capability that supports Intel users that are Brigade echelon and above using CPCE. The Capability Drop 1 tool is for Intel users at Battalion echelon.
2. For a modernization program like this...does it make sense to have such rigid app structures or should this program be focused on delivering an app delivery pipeline?
Answer: The apps that are being procured as commercial items are specific to Intel requirements as they relate to any given Intel MOS. Therefore, not all apps are the same and each app is unique to Intel mission objectives.
3. The All-Source II app seems to duplicate CD1 and CD2. Can you explain how it's different?
Answer: CD1 is a capability that will support disconnected users, while CD2 will support users at higher echelons that are not disconnected.
4. Will industry be allowed to meet (in person or virtually) with the ACM Foundation to discuss requirements for the AS 2 app, going forward from this industry day?
Answer: Due to schedule constraints industry days are being conducted in lieu of ACM specific discussions.
5. Can the Government please provide more detail on what "alignment with the Common Data Fabric / Tactical Data Fabric" entails?
Answer: Additional details will be provided at the next Industry Day in June. Additionally, there will be details provided in the draft RFP.
6. Which US Army Intelligence units or organizations are going to produce the base threat data using the All Source II Intel application?
Answer: The All-Source II App will be focused on Brigade 35F users and will enable those users that are disconnected. Is the vendor looking for this as a threat model? Please post a follow up question in the Q&A section so that it can be addressed in a post to sam.gov.
7. Request an extension of the RFI due date so industry can include what was learned today into their response. This would provide PM IS&A an improved response.

Answer: The World Equipment Guide (WEG) is Controlled Unclassified Information and will be provided to those vendors that have a need to know.

12. When it comes to SSGF - is this expertise provided from PM IS&A or would the Offeror need to have that baked into the solution in the RFP and execution?
Answer: The SSGF foundational data will be provided by the Army. The vendor will be required to understand the formats and some assistance will be provided by the Gov't if there is doubt or questions.
