The Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) intends to conduct a competitive, set-a-side for Small Business procurement for the Operational and Maintenance support services to the BMDO Information Systems Directorate. Contractor support shall be provided to both the BMDO Information Systems support facility (Pentagon) and the BMDO annex (Crystal City) locations. The BMDO Information Systems Support Facility is a classified computer operations center. Support shall be provided for communications, Management Information System (MIS), two Computer Information Centers (CICs), and future Information Sytem Architectural changes. Additional services shall include projected increase in personal workstation support for increasing BMDO staffing, management of ADP maintenance support, ADP acquisition support, and contractor assistance with periodic technology upgrades of the computer facilities. BMDO communications consist of a LAN and WAN. The BMDO LAN is a backbone network with dedicated local encrypted telecommunications lines. The LAN employs a NOVELL NOS (Ver 3.1) and is classified to the SECRET level. Three to five T-1 encrypted lines extend the network from the Pentagon to the BMDO Crystal City Annex using a communications router and KG encryption device. The BMDO network consists of approximately 350 personal computer workstations and 5 file servers. User workstations employ NOVELL's GroupWise (Ver 4.1A) for Windows, which include various COTS packages such as Dbase, MS Excel, Wordperfect, MS Word, and MS PowerPoint. The BMDO WAN, through use of some of it's T1 lines, serves as the EAST Coast Hub for the BMDO classified CONUS network. Support for the BMDO MIS includes the operation and maintenance of the MIS database/application servers residing in the Pentagon. The BMDO MIS resides on a Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) VAX 8820, a Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) VAX 3100, and Novell file servers. System software supporting the VAXs include VAX VMS operating system software Version 5.5 as well as system management tools such as Disk-Keeper and Dynaic Load Balancer. Two Computer Information Centers (CICs) support BMDO users at the Pentagon and the Crystal City Annex. The CICs provide many support services including access to the LAN, the MIS, assistance to LAN users, assistance to users in use of BMDO desktop software applications, coordination of problem resolution in the operations center and telecommunications network, and hardware maintenance. Support for future changes to the BMDO Information System Architecture will include migration from the local classified (SECRET) Novell network to a new LAN that will include both a classified LAN and an unclassified sensitive LAN. The network operating system (NOS) will be Windows NT and the workstations will operate using WIN 95. The desktop application software will be Microsoft Office professional with Access, MS MAIL, Scheduler+, and other COTS packages. This change is planned for 1996. In addition, the DEC VAX 8820 will be replaced with a DEC ALPHA Server 2100 running OPEN VMS AXP Distributed. This change is scheduled for early 1996. The operating system could possibly change to NT or DEC UNIX sometime in the near future. The contract will be a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee Completion contract with a Level of Effort (Task Order) line item. The contract will have a 2-year base period with two 1-year options. The planned contract award is in May 1996.
