Naval Information / Application Product Suite (NIAPS)

The Naval Information Warfare Center, Pacific (NIWC Pacific), formerly SPAWAR Systems

Center Pacific (SSC Pacific), intends to issue Request for Proposal (RFP) No.

N66001-19-

R-0037 engineering services to support the development and sustainment of Navy

Information/Application Product Suite (NIAPS) and other selected application

hosting,

monitoring, modernization, and replication systems/frameworks. NIAPS delivers

maintenance, logistics, administrative, training, and management applications

to users at

sea. NIAPS is designed to maximize the use of limited bandwidth by providing

afloat

units with access to applications while disconnected from the internet. NIAPS

ensures

that data between ship and shore remains synchronized throughout the

replication of

data and applications hosted on NIAPS. NIAPS is a suite of applications and

content,

integrated together and hosted on a single shipboard server. It can be

categorized

as a shipboard intranet web-based information system used to support, collect,

distribute, and display information in a shipboard environment. NIAPS hosts an

intranet

that maintains information such as: training courses, maintenance documents,

data

collection, and morale and welfare information. NIAPS provides content and

information

to the user during times that network access external to the ship is

unavailable. NIAPS

will be phased out in the FY20-24 timeframe and will be replaced by other

services

providing hosting, monitoring, and replication for afloat applications. These

services will

have to be developed, tested and supported on several different Navy networks.

In

addition, current Navy applications require modernization to take advantage of

these new

services.

This proposed single award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ)

cost-plus-fixed-

fee (CPFF) pricing arrangements is the result of the previous Seaport-E task

order. These

requirements are ongoing and are expected to continue into the foreseeable

future. The

anticipated period of performance is a 5-year ordering period. Orders will be

placed

pursuant to the ordering process at FAR 16.505(a). The North American Industry

Classification System (NAICS) Code is 541330 Engineering Services ((Except (a)

Military and Aerospace Equipment and Military Weapons)) and the Small Business

Size

Standard is $38,500,000. The Product Service Code (PSC) for this contract is

J070 "Maintenance, Repair and Rebuilding Of Equipment: Automatic Data

Processing

Equipment, Software, Supplies and Support Equipment. The Facility Clearance

Level will
