About this opportunity
The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) is seeking contractor support for a complex systems migration project involving the transfer of four critical financial systems from a Unisys OS2200 mainframe platform to a Linux environment. The project requires a comprehensive "lift and shift" approach for GAFS-BL, CPAIS, HQARS, and UPVM systems, with specific technical requirements including maintaining COBOL 74 programming language, creating GUI front ends, implementing file transfer capabilities, and developing new user access and reporting functionalities. DFAS will host a virtual Industry Day on December 18, 2024, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. to provide potential contractors with detailed information about the migration requirements, acquisition strategy, and contracting approach. Interested vendors must contact Danielle Head no later than December 17, 2024, at 11:00 AM to participate in the event. The opportunity is classified under NAICS category 541512 for Computer Systems Design Services and is currently in the pre-solicitation phase.
The contract opportunity is not designated with a specific set-aside, indicating it is open to all qualified contractors. While no incumbent contractors are explicitly named, the project involves migrating legacy systems with significant code bases, including 879,354 lines of COBOL code for GAFS-BL and 771,000 lines for HQARS. The work will require comprehensive technical capabilities, including program management, software programming, system analysis, testing, and implementation, all while adhering to DoD and DFAS cybersecurity requirements, including Zero Trust architecture. Contractors will need to provide regular reporting, including weekly status reports and monthly performance reviews. The migration project represents a significant technological transformation, moving critical financial systems from a proprietary mainframe platform to a more modern, flexible Linux environment hosted in DISA's Linux Virtual or Linux On Premise infrastructure.

The potential project is for a “lift and shift” of four systems from a Unisys OS2200 mainframe platform to Linux platform. This Industry Day will be conducted virtually on Wednesday, December 18, 2024, from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Additionally, the Government may request to conduct in person meetings with Industry following the December 18th event, but any follow-on with industry is not to be construed as a commitment by the US Government to form a binding contract or agreement.
This Industry Day is issued for the purpose of discussing in more detail the DFAS IT requirements on migrating four systems from Unisys to a Linux platform. Participation to the Industry Day is voluntary and will not affect any contractor's ability to submit a proposal if, or when, a solicitation is released. The Industry Day does NOT constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that a procurement action will be issued.
This event provides industry participants with the opportunity to receive information, ask questions in real-time, and partake in engagement with DFAS IT service support and DFAS Contracting Directorate and increase their understanding of the Unisys to Linux migration requirements, acquisition strategy, and contracting approach. The forum is intended to improve dialogue, provide acquisition forecasting, and provide more insight into the IT service support’s requirements.
