- **NO QUESTIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR THIS RFI** 1.0Purpose of this RFI This Request for Information (RFI) is to obtain information regarding the availability and capability of all qualified sources to assume management of and further mature the Defense Health Agency Global Service Center (DHAGSC). The DHAGSC is the integrated service center supporting all centrally managed Military Health System (MHS) medical information systems and associated communications and computing infrastructure (C&CI). The purpose of this RFI is to determine various industry partners' ability to meet the requirements outlined below. Both small and large businesses are encouraged to respond. The information gathered as a result of this RFI will aid DHA in moving forward with a Request for Proposal (RFP) for DHAGSC support. DHA anticipates contract award for this requirement in spring, 2015. 2.0Background The DHA Health Information Technology (DHAHIT) delivers and manages health care operations through design, development, test, evaluation, and deployment of healthcare information systems worldwide. The Chief Information Officer (CIO) is responsible for Infrastructure and Operations (I&O) directorate who integrates C&CI requirements. DHAHIT captures and analyzes end-to-end performance data for C&CI components and MHS systems including Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology Application (AHLTA) and Composite Health Care System (CHCS), the military's electronic health record. DHAHIT uses the results of the analyses to optimize network and end-user system performance. DHAHIT provides and manages the following C&CI products and services: •Network Protection •Wide Area Network (WAN) Connectivity •Circuit Management •Local Area Network (LAN) •End User Devices (EUDs) •Computing Center Operations •Capacity Management •End-to-End (E2E) Performance Measurement and Monitoring •Hardware/Software Maintenance and Sparing (HSMS) •DHA Global Service Center (DHAGSC) formerly the MHS Service Desk (MHSSD) oMHS Application Support (Tier 1 and Tier 2) oMHS Common Infrastructure Support (CIS) oMHS Blades Systems Administration (BSA) formerly Enterprise Blade Server (EBS) •Network Security Operations Center (NSOC) The DHAGSC formerly called the Military Health System (MHS) Service Desk (MHSSD) serves as the entry point into the MHS information technology (IT) customer support structure. It provides toll-free, worldwide access to identify, log, asses, analyze, escalate, track, report and resolve incidents for centrally-managed MHS Applications and Systems, 24 x 7 x 365 for over 9 million worldwide customers, including Active Duty, Guard, Reserve, Dependents, Retirees and other beneficiaries of the Military Health System. Currently the DHAGSC averages 27,000 calls per month and logs 32,000 incidents. Analysts are collocated in government facilities primarily in San Antonio, Texas with a secondary site in Falls Church, Virginia. The DHAGSC also provides comprehensive around-the-clock support and monitoring of the network infrastructure components and security suites deployed to Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) and other MHS data centers. In addition to network and monitoring services, the DHAGSC manages all aspects of the current development and production Server Virtual Hosting Environment (SVHE) that runs MHS applications for the MTFs. This includes remotely maintaining all blade frames in a standard configuration, all aspects of the underlying blade architecture (SAN and SAN switch fabrics), monitoring and managing the blade environment, back-up, and the distributed applications hosted at the twenty MHS Application Access Gateway (MAAG) sites through a central operations center.
