D -- DMS TRANSITION HUB (DTH) SOFTWARE AND SYSTEMS ENGINEERING, AND AUTODIN TRANSITION SUPPORT SOL DCA100-00-R-4007 DUE 012700 POC Susanne Gannon, Contract Specialist (703) 607-6893 or Boyd Blevins, Contracting Officer (703) 607-6743 The Defense Information Systems Agency intends to negotiate a sole source contract with (DSA) Data Systems Analysts, Inc., 10400 Eaton Place, Fairfax, Va 22030. The contract duration is for one base year, beginning approximately 7 Mar 00, with options for four additional years. This contract will provide software and engineering support for the legacy and transitional portion of the DTH, AUTODIN transition support, DMS software engineering, and DTH operations technical support. This action provides the final acquisition to procure software maintenance and engineering for backbone legacy messaging service. The DMS Transition Hub (DTH) provides legacy Command and Control message capabilities not yet supported by DMS and also provides the capability for DMS users to communicate with users not yet transitioned from legacy messaging. The acquisition also provides transition engineering to fully support the transition of legacy users off AUTODIN. By the end of this acquisition, consistent with Joint Staff coordinated and OSD approved timelines for the closure of the AUTODIN legacy portions of the DTHs, no further contractual actions to support legacy messaging will be required. The scope of work includes: software maintenance and engineering of the AUTODIN legacy and DMS-MCS transitional components and support systems of the DTHs; on-site DTH programmer support at the Wahiawa, Hawaii and Pirmasens, Germany DTH sites; technical support for DTH and DMS operations; and engineering support to transition legacy users off AUTODIN. The Sic code is 7379. The basis for choosing Data Systems Analysts, Inc. is derived from the responses received from the Government's 16 June 99 sources sought synopsis. A careful review of the experience and qualifications statements received showed that DSA alone had adequate experience and resources for satisfying the Government's stated requirements. See Numbered Note 22. Posted 12/09/99 (W-SN407139). (0343)
