Team Awareness Kit-Interior (TAK-I) Entrps Srvr (BIL Radio)

The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center is seeking cloud hosting and technical support for a Team Awareness Kit (TAK-I) Enterprise Server solution. The procurement aims to establish a cloud-based server infrastructure capable of supporting 18,000 concurrent users with stringent security requirements, including FISMA High standards, NIST 800-53 Rev 5 controls, and FedRAMP High compliance. Key contract objectives include developing a robust cloud hosting architecture with high availability, resilience, and integrated identity and access management capabilities. The evaluation will focus on vendors' ability to provide a comprehensive solution with sub-second latency, automated scaling, multi-factor authentication, and a 99.9% uptime Service Level Agreement. Interested vendors must submit their responses to Contracting Officer Matthew Mosellen and Contract Specialist Maura Donovan by April 22, 2025, at 1:00 PM Eastern Time, with the government planning to issue a formal solicitation in Fiscal Year 2025.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designations for this opportunity, making it open to a broad range of potential contractors. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the complex technical requirements suggest a significant investment in cloud infrastructure and ongoing support services. The project is structured across four distinct phases: architecture design and security review, system implementation and configuration, security authorization, and ongoing operations and maintenance. Vendors will be expected to provide monthly status reports and conduct quarterly risk assessments throughout the contract period. The procurement falls under the NAICS category 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and PSC category DA10 (IT and Telecom - Business Application/Application Development Software as a Service), indicating a focus on advanced cloud-based technical solutions for the Department of the Interior's Office of Wildland Fire.
