Any amendments to this solicitation will be issued and posted on beta.sam.gov.

Special attention must be paid to Section K - Representations, Certifications and Statements of Offeror, L – Instructions, Conditions, and Notices to Offerors or Respondents, and Section M – Evaluation Criteria.

Issuance of this solicitation does not in any way obligate the U.S. Government to award a contract nor does it commit the U.S. Government to pay for costs incurred in the preparation and submission of a proposal. The Government reserves the right to reject any and all offers, if such action is considered to be in the best interest of the U.S. Government.

SECTION C: STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

C1. ACTIVITY IDENTIFICATION

1.1. Location:

1.2.1 Existing Data Center at DABS Headquarters (HQ) in Kabul

1.2.2 New Disaster Recovery (DR) Data Center at the Tarakhil Power Plant, Kabul

1.2.3 Load Centers in Kabul, Kandahar, Balkh, Herat and Nangarhar Provinces

C2. BACKGROUND

Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS) is transforming and automating its business operations with the support of Information Technology (IT) to improve transparency and productivity with the goal of becoming a commercially successful and sustainable Power Utility. As part of this program, DABS has implemented the “mPower” software application suite to automate its core business processes, including metering, billing, revenue collection, customer care, mobile workforce, energy auditing, asset registration and asset management. DABS also initiated the implementation of Microsoft Great Plains (GP) for automating its internal functions, including finance, accounting, procurement, HR and Inventory Management System (IMS).

1. DABS HQ Data Center in Kabul:

The DABS HQ Data Center houses the existing IT infrastructure and is the current repository of all data collected by DABS. Currently the data gathered by DABS is not backed up. In case of any interruptions, the business operations of DABS will be adversely affected. To mitigate disruption of business operations, DABS plans to establish a Disaster Recovery Data Center at the Tarakhil Power Plant.

2. Disaster Recovery Data Center at Tarakhil Power Plant in Kabul:

All the critical business applications including mPower and Microsoft GP ERP are centralized at DABS Data Center in Chaman Hazouri Kabul without any backup data center. To address the lack of data backup, DABS intends to establish a disaster recovery data center to be housed in the National Load Control Center (NLCC) building located at the Tarakhil Power Plant, Kabul. The disaster recovery data center IT infrastructure will mirror the existing IT infrastructure at DABS HQ Data Center.

3. Load Centers:

The mPower application suite and Microsoft GP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application have also been deployed in five major Load Centers in Kabul, Kandahar, Balkh, Herat and Nangarhar provinces. To support the full implementation of mPower, DABS need IT equipment and accessories (see Schedule No. 2).
