About this opportunity
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for the Fangorn project, which aims to develop a transformed, standardized IBM z hosting environment to provide DISA's mission partners rapid access. DISA intends to leverage an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) to quickly create a functional prototype that will integrate application development, hardware, and software synchronization using commercial technologies. The Government plans to pursue an aggressive approach, procuring a minimum viable capability release in less than one year, and then continuing to improve and operationalize the Fangorn capabilities through a follow-on Production OTA.
This RFI is not a solicitation, and no contract award is planned at this time. DISA is seeking industry input on technical recommendations, potential risks, acquisition approaches, and technical capabilities to meet the requirements, which include a single software-as-a-service solution, infrastructure-as-code provisioning, multi-tenancy support, and integration with existing enterprise tools. Companies are requested to submit white papers and rough order of magnitude (ROM) pricing by September 6, 2024, and may participate in a government-hosted Q&A session and industry networking event. The applicable NAICS code is 541511 - Custom Computer Programming Services, and the PSC category is DA01-P - IT and Telecom - Business Application/Application Development Support Services (Labor).

Amendment 2 (AMD 02) to this RFI provides the following:
- Provides responses to Industry Question in separate PDF Attachment. New questions are indicated in Red text and responses are provided in Yellow highlighted fields.
- Updates the submission response date for the White Paper and ROM responses from 0900 EDT September 3, 2024, to 1100 EDT September 6, 2024.
- All changes in this document are highlighted in Green.
Amendment 1 (AMD 01) to this RFI provides the following:
- Provides responses to Industry Question in separate PDF Attachment.
- Increases White Paper response page count from four (4) to (6) pages.
- All changes in this document are highlighted in Yellow.
THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) NOTICE ONLY.
THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR WHITE PAPER (RWP) or REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP). NO SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.
OVERVIEW/PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION OF PROCUREMENT
To enable DISA’s Mission Partners (MP) rapid access to a transformed, standardized, IBM z hosting environment, DISA is leveraging Other Transition Authority (OTA) to quickly develop a functional prototype. It is envisioned that rapid iterations of the initial prototype mainframe environment will be necessary to fully meet all critical success indicators.
The Government intends to pursue an aggressive approach, procuring a minimum viable capability release (MVCR) in less than one year. Following a successful prototype, the Government will continue the improvement, operationalization, and implementation of Fangorn capabilities through a follow-on Production OTA.
Throughout the execution of this project the Government intends to prototype evolving iterations of this first-of-its-kind capability to provide a single, centralized management control plane, integrated application development, and hardware/software synchronization using commercial technologies, prototype. Specifically, the Government intends to apply an agile methodology to create, design, develop, and demonstrate the operational utility for a production ready and operationalized Fangorn on-premises capability.
