- Request for Statement of Capability PWS OGF OED Support DLA Energy Post THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF SOLICITATION ISSUANCE. This is a Special Notice that includes a Request for submission of Statement of Capability (SOC) addressing the capability to provide Oracle Support for Business Systems Modernization-Energy (BSM-E) Enterprise Level System. This Special Notice is issued solely for information and planning purposes - it does not constitute a Request for Quote (RFQ) or Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFQ or RFP in the future. This SOC does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. The information provided in the SOC is subject to change and is not binding on the Government. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals for the work described in the attached documents. Responders are advised that the DLA will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in responding to this SOC. Request for Statement of Capability The purpose of issuing this Statement of Capabilities (SOC) under SP4706-14-SOC-BSME-DCSOE is to identify potential contractors and assess their capability to provide Information Technology (IT) services to Energy Applications, DLA Information Operations, Defense Logistics Agency, to continue sustainment and provide decommissioning support services for the Business Systems Modernization-Energy (BSM-E) Enterprise Level System. These services include project management, infrastructure and configuration management, product upgrades, application maintenance, Information Assurance (IA) validation of application security controls for the BSM-E Enterprise Level System, 24x7 On-Call Support, Tier 2 helpdesk support, testing, database administration, and decommissioning services to support DLA Energy. The BSM-E Enterprise Level System consists of Oil Enterprise Downstream (OED/OEDA), Reporting Data Store (RDS), Oracle Government Financials (OGF), Discoverer, Redwood Cronacle Enterprise Job Scheduling Software applications and Locally-Developed Products and Extensions that provide additional functionality. The Performance Work Statement entitled: "Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Information Operation Sustainment and Decommissioning Support of the Business System Modernization - Energy (BSM-E) Enterprise Level System" is provided for information and reference in order to facilitate the ability to respond to the SOC response areas detailed below (see attached PWS) 1. Provide a brief narrative discussing your capability to provide Information Technology (IT) services for maintenance of operational capabilities, sustainment and decommissioning for the BSM-E Enterprise Level System based on OED Version 6, a software application used exclusively and solely by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) worldwide within the BSM-E system of systems. The narrative discussion shall address the capability to provide sustainment and decommissioning without OED having the benefit of a product support organization upon which to rely as an informational and training resource; with OED code "wrapping" and inaccessibility which prohibits making changes to the code; the complexity of the BSM-E Enterprise Level System architecture which requires the movement of data between multiple databases based on a proprietary data transfer framework [Replicated File System (RFS), Workgroups, and sequence numbers]; the necessity to create data manipulation scripts to provide work arounds to OED "bugs' and limitations; and maintaining the more than one-thousand Redwood jobs performed in the daily and nightly schedule runs; the ability to analyze, cleanse and migrate OED data and ability to develop an application/database environment retirement strategy and a recovery capability strategy. The narrative shall set forth an implementation plan for sustainment and decommissioning services highlighting and detailing resources, experience, knowledge, certifications, and past performance as it relates to a world-wide enterprise information technology system for commodity management and financial accountability. 2. Provide a brief narrative discussing your capability to provide Information Technology (IT) services for operations, sustainment and decommissioning of the BSM-E Enterprise Level System based on the knowledge, experience and the ability to interpret DOD Policy, Manuals and Instructions; DLA-specific Policy, Manuals and Instructions; DLA Energy Business Rules, processes, procedures and regulations for standard accounting policy and procedures; and the application of these policies while performing efforts which facilitate and support the sustainment and decommissioning of the BSM-E Enterprise Level System. The narrative shall demonstrate possession of the required knowledge and experience, and provide examples of the application of this knowledge and experience via the business accounting and inventory functions as it relates to DLA's system of record for DLA Energy's financial and inventory data. The narrative shall describe and demonstrate the capability to leverage existing legacy and up-to-the-minute subject matter expertise to provide analysis of tables, fields, data elements and financial relationships within the BSME-E Enterprise Data System and for applications interfacing with BSM-E to contractors supporting Energy Convergence. In order to perform this effort, the capability to provide subject matter expertise regarding the BSM-E business processes, DLA standard accounting procedures and financial impacts are necessary. The contractor shall include a discussion on the capability to provide recommendations and alternatives to DLA Energy if specific tables, fields or data elements are not retained for migration and needed after decommissioning in order to maintain DLA Energy's financial policies and the ability to develop an application/database environment retirement strategy, a recovery capability strategy and ability to shut down the applications and perform project close out. The contractor will provide resources at the staffing level assigned within the scope of the contract. 3. Provide a brief narrative discussing your capability to provide Information Technology (IT) services for maintenance of operational capabilities, sustainment and decommissioning of the BSM-E Enterprise Level System based on code that has been locally developed around various COTS applications which are at the "heart" of the BSM-E Enterprise Level System. The narrative discussion shall address the capability to provide maintenance and sustainment of locally developed code that has increased in size and criticality as a result of added functionality which consist of products and extensions listed in Section 3.5 of the PWS. The discussion should include the capability to maintain local code that impacts the COTS application interfaces, reports in the report repository and bug fixes within OED that due to code "wrapping" and inaccessibility require development of processes to support Energy Convergence rollouts by geographical areas and data cleansing activities by DLA Energy. The extensions, consisting of 2.6 million lines of code, contain complex business rules and require the sustainment and maintenance of DLA Energy's business rules. The narrative shall demonstrate a plan for maintenance and support to troubleshoot technical and functional issues, recommendations and alternatives on proposed business processes and/or system defect workarounds, code development and maintenance of existing code that interfaces with OED, development of specifications, development of test documentation and training guides, and maintenance of code required for data migration as a result of decommissioning. 4. Provide responses to the SOC response area detailed above based on the following required formatting: a. Four pages or less for each question b. Times New Roman 12 Point Type c. White space and conventional paragraphing are required for readability Please see the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS) for requirements: The deadline for submission is Not-Later-Than (NLT) April 15, 2014 at 0600 P.M. Eastern Time. The Contractors' SOC must include their Company Cage Code, TIN, DUNS number, and Point of Contact Information.
