INTRODUCTION Document Type: REQUEST FOR INFORMATION Reference Number: RIK-OTA-18-R-GTSCMIS Title: Global Theater Security Cooperation Management Information System (G-TSMIS) Prototype Posted Date: 19 JAN 2018 - 3 PM EST Response Date: 12 FEB 2018 - 12 PM EST This Request for Information (RFI) is for planning purposes only. The information obtained from responses to this notice may be used to inform a future acquisition strategy and solicitation, should one be issued. The intent of this synopsis is to promote opportunity with potential vendors. Participation in this RFI is recommended but does not preclude future participation. II. DESCRIPTION A. Project Overview To support Security Cooperation (SC) reform efforts mandated in the FY17 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the Global Theater Security Cooperation Management Information System (G-TSCMIS) will be further developed to provide the Department of Defense (DoD) an improved enterprise web-based solution to comprehensively plan, administer, forecast, monitor, report, evaluate (assess), and execute SC programs and activities around the globe. The G-TSCMIS prototype will be used as a resource allocation decision support tool to enable the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy USD(P), in conjunction with the Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE) Director, to make informed SC resource decisions during the President's Budget Recommendation process. The Government anticipates that G-TSCMIS prototype solutions will include range from Cloud offerings to Commercial off the Shelf solutions. These solutions need to address cyber security, leveraging of available software or platforms, interoperability of services, analysis for business intelligence, and ingestion of data from various sources. For more details on Security Cooperation, please consult: Joint Publication 3-20, 23 May 2017 ( http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/new_pubs/jp3_20_20172305.pdf ). B. Background Respondents to this Request For Information (RFI) should be aware of standard cybersecurity regulation: Department of Defense Instruction 8500.01 (8500.01, March 14, 2014) Department of Defense Instruction 8510.01(8510.01, March 12, 2014) Department of Defense Instruction 8115.01 (8115.01, October 10, 2005) National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-53 (800-53, April 2013) Defense Information Systems Agency Application and Development Security Technical Implementation Guide (Version 4, October 27, 2017) Defense Information Systems Agency Cloud Security Requirements Guide (Version 1 Release 3, March 6, 2017) Please reference the attached G-TSCMIS Statement of Need dated 10 January 2018 (Attachment No. 1) for additional background information. C. Discussion Responses to this RFI shall include recommendations and descriptions of a cloud service provider offering. Where possible, the responses should leverage existing, available software, platforms, technologies, and products to provide a cost effective and technologically mature solution. The response will need to address Identity Management and Access Control (meeting the Instructions listed in paragraph B, "Background"). Please reference the attached G-TSCMIS Statement of Need dated 10 January 2018 (Attachment No. 1) for additional description of requirements and system architecture. D. Mission Impact The Global Theater Security Cooperation Management Information System (G-TSCMIS) supports the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Military Departments (MILDEPs), and other organizational entities within the Department of Defense (DoD) in DoD Security Cooperation (SC) events, activities, and products. The G-TSCMIS prototype will provide a more efficient and effective way for decision makers to articulate Return on Investment (ROI) impact and associated risks and recommendations for current and future DOD SC programs and activities. III. AGREEMENT STRUCTURE The Government is considering establishing a prototype project under the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Open System Acquisition Initiative (OSAI) Other Transaction Agreement for Prototypes No. FA8750-16-9-9000 with SOSSEC, Inc. Prototype projects may be awarded by a Firm Fixed Price project level agreement under the aforementioned agreement. The period of performance is estimated to be six (6) to twelve (12) months. Total funding for the G-TSCMIS prototype is estimated to be approximately $1,000,000.00. For additional information on the OSAI Other Transaction Agreement for Prototypes No. FA8750-16-9-9000 with SOSSEC, Inc., a description of the program and its structure, metrics, and terminology, see Open System Acquisition Iniitiative (OSAI) Supplemental Information, dated 01 MAR 2017 (Attachment No. 2).
