Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) Baseline Analysis of Alternatives Services (BAAS)

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), in support of the Program Executive Office - Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence

(PEO-

C4I), Tactical Networks Program Office (PMW 160), has released a Request for

Proposal (RFP) number N00039-17-R-0038 for the procurement of the Consolidated

Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) Baseline Analysis of

Alternatives

Services (BAAS).



CANES BAAS will be an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract

for the

purpose of providing engineering and technical support with respect to the

CANES

baseline to include new design efforts, market research, component-level

Analysis of

Alternatives (AoA) and recommendations, component and subsystem procurement,

technical documentation updates and integration testing and delivery of

components to

be incorporated into the CANES baseline. The contractor will be responsible for

reviewing

the CANES component level specifications provided as Government Furnished

Information (GFI) and conducting market research and AoA for recommending

hardware

and software replacement components that are form, fit, and functionally

interchangeable with the CANES Production Baseline (PBL) to address Security,

end-of-

life and end-of-service issues. In addition, the contractor shall be

responsible for market

research, AoA, design and product selection and testing for emergent

engineering issues

or future upgrades to the CANES baseline, to include both hardware and

software.



Please be advised that Government Furnished Information (GFI) is posted on a

separate

secured site limited to U.S. DoD Contractors only entitled the Net-Centric

Enterprise

Solutions for Interoperability (NESI) Collaborative Site. For information on

the process to

obtain access to the NESI Collaborative Site, please see the document entitled

"NESI

Access Instructions" attached to this RFP announcement.

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), in support of the Program Executive Office - Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence

(PEO-

C4I), Tactical Networks Program Office (PMW 160), has released draft Request

for

Proposal (RFP) number N00039-17-R-0038 for the procurement of the Consolidated

Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) Baseline Analysis of

Alternatives

Services (BAAS).



The CANES program is the Navy's only Program of Record (POR) to consolidate

existing

and standalone afloat Command, Control, Communications, Computers,

Intelligence,

Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) networks and provides the necessary

infrastructure for applications, systems and services to operate in the

tactical domain.

CANES is the programmatic, technical, and infrastructure consolidation of

existing,

separately managed afloat networks including Integrated Shipboard Network

System

(ISNS), Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange System Maritime

(CENTRIXS-M), Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) Networks and Submarine

Local Area Network (SubLAN).



CANES BAAS will be an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract

for the

purpose of providing engineering and technical support with respect to the

CANES

baseline to include new design efforts, market research, component-level

Analysis of

Alternatives (AoA) and recommendations, component and subsystem procurement,

technical documentation updates and integration testing and delivery of

components to

be incorporated into the CANES baseline. The contractor will be responsible for

reviewing

the CANES component level specifications provided as Government Furnished

Information (GFI) and conducting market research and AoA for recommending

hardware

and software replacement components that are form, fit, and functionally

interchangeable with the CANES Production Baseline (PBL) to address Security,

EOL and

EOS issues. In addition, the contractor shall be responsible for market

research, AoA,

design and product selection and testing for emergent engineering issues or

future

upgrades to the CANES baseline, to include both hardware and software.



Objectives for the CANES baseline AoA services include: market research to

ensure state-

of-the-art technologies are explored as potential updates to EOL/EOS

components;

market research to ensure potential impacts related to configuration changes

are minimal

within specified timeframes; AoAs justifying product selections that provide

information

of sufficient depth and complexity to support successful integration into the

baseline and

a product delivered in such a manner that the Government may integrate them

into the

CANES Baseline, e.g., the (i) CANES Configuration Item Configuration Document

(CICD),

(ii) Production/Installation/Sustainment software media (source code,

executables,

scripts) and configuration management documentation, and (iii) the IETM.



The CANES BAAS procurement will be conducted under full and open competition.

The

Government anticipates a single award indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity

(IDIQ)

contract with a five (5) year ordering period. The contract will include firm

fixed price

(FFP) CLINs for CANES BAAS based upon component level AoA complexity. The

contract

will also include cost plus fixed fee (CPFF) CLINs for CANES BAAS system /

sub-system

level and engineering support services.
