1.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES/INTRODUCTION

This requirement is for network engineering and program management support services to the US Army PdM I3MP that are necessary for the successful engineering, installation, configuration, testing, cut-over, and support of network modernization efforts. These efforts include, but are not limited to engineering and related support services that effectively and efficiently modernize the Installation Campus Area Network (ICAN) infrastructure.

1.1 BACKGROUND

The US Army’s Product Manager Installation Information Infrastructure Modernization Program (PdM I3MP) is currently the primary program for accomplishing information technology modernization for Army and Joint Base/Post/Camps/Stations (B/P/C/S) in the Continental United States (CONUS) and select Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) locations (e.g. Puerto Rico). PdM I3MP enables the Warfighter through information technology, infrastructure modernization, and life cycle management of the Army’s Installation Campus Area (Voice, Video & Data) Networks, Strategic and Home Station Mission Command Centers (SCC/HSMCC) and Tech Control Facilities (TCF). PdM I3MP, In Accordance With (IAW) the Department of the Army's approved prioritization lists and through the use of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products and contract installers, replaces the antiquated, costly, unsupportable and maintenance intensive legacy systems with an integrated information system that is state-of-the-art, secure, interoperable and capable of passing voice/data/video traffic. I3MP provides a suite of standardized capabilities used at Army Corps, Division & Theater Headquarters’ (HQ)'s and core Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) infrastructure for Joint, Coalition & Interagency capabilities at Army Supported Command Centers. These installation infrastructures and capabilities are capable of supporting national strategic communications capabilities for the Army, Department of Defense (DoD) and the National Command Authority (NCA) to enable information dominance.

Since 2013, PdM I3MP has been modernizing the ICAN for 80+ B/P/C/S across CONUS. ICAN upgrades include new 10GbE Ethernet switches and routers and re-engineered to Defense Information System Network (DISN) ICAN Design and Implementation (ICAN-DI) standards. These upgrades prepared the ICAN for migration to the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Wide Area Network (WAN) and the Joint Regional Security Stacks (JRSS). This effort will essentially be completed by the end of 2019.

1.2 OBJECTIVES:

The Army must now begin the process of surveying, engineering and implementing a life cycle refresh of the ICAN infrastructure at designated B/P/C/S with new Ethernet switches and routers leveraging assets from multiple organizations. This ICAN life cycle refresh will continue to be a joint US Army/DISA effort with support and resources provided by PdM I3MP, US Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER), US Army Network Engineering Command (NETCOM), 7th Signal Command (Theater) [7th SC (T)], their supporting Signal Brigades (93rd, 106th, 21st), as well as Network Enterprise Centers (NECs). PdM I3MP will act as the lead system integrator and will orchestrate the efforts of both Contractor, Government, Military and Civilian personnel to accomplish this life cycle refresh. PdM I3MP requires a Contractor capable of working in an environment as a team member with the primary responsibilities of surveying, engineering and leading implementation efforts for this life cycle refresh with support and assistance from other Government and Contractor partners.
