- Description
- The Government is seeking sources that can provide highly specialized professional services and capabilities to perform high end engineering services with core competencies in massive data entity resolution for near real time and historical (extant) data sets, automated unstructured text entity extraction for trillions of records, three dimensional geospatial visualization, user interface design, custom digital media forensic tool integration, custom biometric tool integration, cyber analytics, cyber forensics, cyber security and online identity management. The highly specialized professional services require in-depth knowledge of mission specific, operational requirements for several intelligence disciplines leveraged in multiple geographical locations both CONUS and OCONUS. The Government requires continued support to resolve massive near real-time and historical (extant) data sets and to perform automated entity extraction of unstructured text for trillions of records. The Offerors will have proven experience over the past 6 years in automated entity resolution and automated entity extraction for massive amounts of data. Specific systems engineering and services / capabilities required: Analyze motion dynamics of moving sensor feeds in order to determine which sensors belong to the same physical platform Perform identity recognition (i.e., name disambiguation or the comparing of many instances of similar names in order to characterize them as unique entities) and relationship detection (e.g., does any entity have a verifiable relationship with another) Immediately match multiple platforms in the same place at the same time from various sources Provide capability to disambiguate names, places, dates, times, activity and organization Provide capability where data and information are automatically structured as concepts and relationships to reduce discovery time and improve ability to understand content Improve ability to visualize data relationships Ability to add context from relevant sensor and non-sensor-derived data Identify or allow user specification of associated patterns of activity, in order to provide sense making of very large amounts of information in support of decision making Immediately fuse data from sensor groups and output the resolved sensor feed feeds Geostatistical entity resolution and fusion of disparate data feeds with overlapping representations of physical platforms The Government requires continued support for a multi-touch, common operational picture (COP) able to present time-synchronized, multi-source intelligence (multi-INT) data products, including full motion video, on a three dimensional, geospatial visualization of [map data types]. Offerors will have proven experience developing, extending and enhancing multi-touch COP software and plug-in frameworks from inception through testing and evaluation of software solutions at official Department of Defense test events. Offeror's will have a proven track record of a minimum of 3 separate contracts over the past 5 years working multi-touch COP software. The COP software shall utilize industry best practices of framework/plug-in software architecture and include a library of already developed tools and plugins that are available to the Government. The COP must provide users with the ability to view all time-synchronized data products at a past period of time and enable playback at various speeds allowing for derivation of enemy combatants' intent. Offeror(s) must demonstrate with 4+ years of experience in user focused design and development for Department of Defense user requirements. The user centered design process must be internally detailed and documented as well as applied, documented, and delivered on a minimum of one past and one current Department of Defense contract. Offerors must have past experience developing and deploying data visualization software, common operational picture software with multi-touch, and desktop and mobile applications solutions tailored based on design artifacts from user interaction studies. The offeror must have delivered and demonstrated high value solutions based on significant user adoption rates, and meet or exceed Department of Defense small business goals. The will be delivered with no less than Government Purpose Rights. The Government requires continued support building and distributing three dimensional geospatial products. Offerors will have a proven track record of a minimum of 8 years of experience in Google Earth Fusion and building and distributing World Wide Google Earth globes that are built with high-resolution imagery and elevation data. Specific systems engineering and services / capabilities required: Customized / tailored high performance compute cluster (HPCC) Petabyte(s) of specialized storage (data warehouse) The producing and updating of geographically separate and domain unique world-wide appliances Implementing custom algorithms to rapidly produce imagery tiles in mass / parallel across the entire HPCC A capability using a topological data structure with data primitives on closed networks Mapping services provided for mobile computing Specialized processes and algorithms to integrate high resolution imagery, terrain, and mapping data (GIS information) into various web and client based applications Terrain/Elevation services, conversion, interpolation, mosaicking LiDAR compression, GPR NITF to LAS translator A capability using a topological data structure with data primitives on closed networks Mapping services provided for mobile computing A distributed, parallel imagery processing cluster & software with low response time/high through-put imagery translation The Government requires continued support in custom digital media forensic tool integration, custom biometric tool integration, cyber analytics and cyber forensics. Offerors must have a minimum of 5+ years integrating digital media forensic and biometric tools, such as forensically sound data capture, extraction, triage, categorization and classification, and data visualization technologies. Offerors must have demonstrated proficiency in applying advanced exploitation tools and techniques to rapidly derive actionable intelligence from all types of media. Specific systems engineering and services / capabilities required: Image-content-based video storyboarding Custom algorithm's to implement streamlined business / workflows and handle massive amounts of data to accurately capture, extract tag load, store, entity extract, and augment, entity resolve data into both specialized and legacy USG systems Custom bootable Linux tool that is designed to extract information from computers and create reports A platform that remotely accesses media from any global location and forensically examining the contents while providing real-time support for follow-on operations. Enables examiners to access media, triage files, identify files of interest and provide details directly to multiple stakeholders Speaker and language ID application on a mobile computing device include audio segmentation and suppression for multi-channel and speaker samples Media compression algorithm integrated to identify common drive content (e.g. MS Office Applications, DLL files, Windows system files) and replaces it with hashes that link back to the original content allowing for later decompression Highly specialized tools and processes to quickly scan Wide Area Networks and Local Area Networks (WANs / LANs) in order to quickly triage data holding, capture various types of metadata and be able to access network shares, folders, MS Outlook PST files, etc Real-time behavior-based identification of previously unknown network threats to combat advanced network cyber threats, targeted attacks, and evolving malware Processes raw network traffic at backbone speeds (40Gbps+) Distinguishes ingress/egress and client/server roles to go beyond source and destination data De-duplicates, fuses, extracts, and centralizes metadata to create a holistic view across network sensors Performs metadata extraction to provide service detection, HTTP headers, RDP metadata, and x509 certificates Augments network data via enrichment data: threat data, registrar and passive DNS, IP netblock owners, IP geo-location Data Scale out cluster-based distributed system running on commodity hardware Analytics-based system for rapid discovery and analysis via intuitive web interface with full drilldown and data pivot features The Government also requires the offerors to provide specific systems engineering and services / capabilities for Identity Search & Analysis Platform, Automated Data Collection, Entity & Relationship Extraction, Identity Resolution & Quality Assurance and Identity Analytics. less than BR greater than THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL.
