- Description
- INDUSTRY DAY Description The Department of Defense (DoD), Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), Chief Acquisition Executive (CAE), Program Management Office Mobility, Fort Meade, Maryland, in coordination with DISA's Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO), will host Industry Day on Tuesday August 12, 2014. The purpose of this unclassified conference is to enable the Department of Defense (DOD) representatives to obtain information from industry experts on the need to provide an enterprise solution that will provide Mobile Applications utilizing the best commercial practices. Additionally the conference will allow DoD Mobility to ascertain how industry might best meet DoD Mobility Applications needs, and to better understand industry's ability to support a core set of MAS user needs and user-selectable enhancements. Background This Industry Day is a continuation of the Request for Information (RFI) that was posted to Federal Business Opportunities website on June 20, 2014 under the solicitation identification of “Mobility-RFI-APPS”. The DoD Mobile Device Enterprise Service Initiative delivers enterprise unclassified and classified mobile communications services, ensuring interoperability, secure access to information, and reliable service for DoD personnel. This Initiative is comprised of a mobile networking infrastructure that delivers third generation (3G)/fourth generation (4G), and in the future fifth generation (5G) capability. Additionally, this Initiative provides other advanced mobile protocol cellular services to extend enterprise e-mail services, Unified Capabilities (UC), DoD Internet Access Points (IAP), and access to approved mobile applications/databases. Access is provided via the Defense Information System Network (DISN) mobility gateways and the Global Information Grid (GIG) transport where possible. This Initiative will also include enterprise-enabled Mobile Device Management (MDM) systems that provide application layer confidentiality, integrity, authenticity and mobile device configuration management, and an enterprise Mobile Application Store (MAS) that will host government approved applications for multiple mobile operating systems. Specific contracting opportunities are not available and will not be discussed at this conference. This conference's purpose is for the Government to better understand the ability for the Applications industry to support DoD users' capability needs. Therefore, the conference agenda is primarily allocated to government questioning. The Mobility Industry Days for Applications will be held on August 12, 2014 at the MITRE Corporation-Annapolis Junction (Meade). The address is 300 Sentinel Drive, Room 6FD127, Annapolis Junction, Maryland 20701 ( http://mitre.org/about/locations/md_annapolis_junction.html ).
