Background: DISA's internal IT Enterprise provides the full complement of IT services for approximately 4,200 DISA employees at the DISA Headquarters Building (1.1 million square feet of total office space) located at Fort George G. Meade, MD (hereto referred to as FGGM), as well as an additional 4,000 DISA employees accessing the enterprise via Local Area Networks (LAN's) located at 39 continental US (CONUS) and overseas (OCONUS) Department of Defense (DoD) locations. A major portion of DISA's IT Enterprise service work is performed at the DISA Headquarters facility. Additionally, a significant amount of the work is performed by support teams traveling to the Agency's CONUS and OCONUS DoD locations. The DISA's IT Enterprise also provides the full complement of IT services to non-DISA organizations (i.e., Industry Partner facilities in the NCR, and other DoD components). A major portion of DISA's IT Enterprise service work is performed at the DISA Headquarters. However, a significant amount of the work is performed by support teams traveling to the agency's CONUS and OCONUS DoD locations.

The operation of DISA's IT Enterprise is managed by Government personnel with contractors performing many of the operational functions, such as Tier I Helpdesk and Network Monitoring and Reporting functions. Areas of operational responsibility for the DISA IT Enterprise are clearly delineated as either contractor or Government functions. As a result, there are numerous touch points between the contractor and Government personnel executing their DISA IT Enterprise responsibilities.

DISA's global IT Enterprise network is comprised of the data, voice, and video infrastructure that supports the mission requirements of the DISA Director, its Strategic Business Units and subordinate Directorates. The Enterprise employs over 550 physical and virtual servers on three classification levels, and uses approximately 9 principle tool suites to monitor its world-wide status. The DISA IT Enterprise provides network access to mission-oriented databases and applications maintained on non-DISA networks. In total, the Enterprise supports over 8,200 DISA users worldwide. Most of the IT services provided by the DISA IT Enterprise are operated by the Agency's CIO and currently based out of Fort Meade, Maryland. However, some of the IT services (i.e., email) are in the process of transitioning to the Agency's Enterprise Services Directorate (ESD).

DISA is anticipating numerous IT infrastructure consolidation initiatives across the DoD and anticipates other DoD organizations acquiring IT services from the DESS contract Additionally, DISA is anticipating that many of DISA's CONUS and OCONUS locations will begin acquiring IT support services from the DESS contract in order to align with many of the Agency's Campaign Plan initiatives.
