DIA ESITE III
Solutions for the Information Technology Enterprise III (SITE III)
This non-personal services contract delivers Solutions for the Information Technology Enterprise III (SITE III) to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). The Government will not exercise any supervision or control over the service contractors performing the services herein. Servicing contractors are accountable solely to the Contractor, who, in turn is responsible to the Government.
Background
The Chief Information Office (CIO) mission is to provide the full range of support required to plan, maintain, and sustain the global CIO organization. The CIO seeks to exercise broad responsibility and authority for planning and to manage its operations
and services.
This Statement of Work (SOW) describes the basic services contractors shall provide to support the DIA and NGA under the SITE III Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle. This IDIQ contract establishes the acquisition framework for delivering the full scope of information technology services and capabilities to support intelligence needs for the DIA and the NGA.
This contract vehicle provides participating organizations with comprehensive Information Technology (IT) technical support services. This vehicle leverages a mix of large and small prime and subcontractor businesses to satisfy mission requirements.
The SITE III multiple award contract vehicle qualifies selected contractors to propose solutions for ensuing TOs. The Government will provide a Performance Work Statement (PWS) or Statement of Work (SOW), Cost Volume, and a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) for each task order. Associated performance objectives, deliverables, and thresholds will be specified in the PWS or SOW in each TO as appropriate.
Objective
The DIA CIO’s primary objective with SITE III is to support warfighters, policymakers, and acquisition leaders across the Defense Intelligence Enterprise (DIE) by achieving an Information and Communications Technology advantage. SITE III provides strategic, technical, and program management guidance and support services to facilitate the operations and modernization of the agency’s infrastructure, systems, and applications. The SITE III contract is not intended for staff augmentation. Rather, the SITE III contract provides managed services directed towards improving integration, information sharing, and information safeguarding through the use of a streamlined information technology (IT) approach. The CIO expects innovation with common architecture, consolidated operations, and cloud environments in alignment with the Intelligence Community’s Information Technology Enterprise (IC ITE) as directed by the Director of National Intelligence (DNI). Task Orders issued under SITE III must comply with Industry Standards, IC, and CIO Directives, to include memorandums and directives issued by the CIO Technical Leadership Council (TLC).
Scope
The SITE III IDIQ contract vehicle addresses the evolving needs vital to the security of the United States. SITE III facilitates worldwide coverage for integrated IT intelligence requirements and technical support services to the DIA and NGA.
Contractors shall provide the full range of integrated strategic, analytic, and technical support services DIA may need to design and implement optimal Infrastructure, Systems, and Applications initiatives and ensure progress toward meeting requirements and objectives. The selected contractors shall have subject matter expertise and provide all resources necessary to perform the specific requirements as defined in individual task orders.
Contractors shall develop, maintain, and periodically update Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) plans at no cost to the Government. SCRM plans are intended to reduce performance and security risks of the products sold, installed, and maintained throughout the life-cycle. SCRM plans shall include sufficient detail for the Government to determine that the Contractor reasonably understands its supply chain and the associated risks. The Contractor shall ensure that genuine Information and Communication Technology (ICT) will be available under the contract and shall manage the risk to ensure counterfeit or illegally modified products are not shipped. SCRM plans shall describe the processes and practices ensuring Contractors can deliver genuine ICT.
The services and capabilities supported by the SITE III contract vehicle will provide responsive, secure, and timely solutions to participating organizations that meet current and future IT requirements. Technical requirements are defined in Section 5 of this document. The SITE III contract supports both classified and unclassified programs on multiple networks and security domains. Individual task orders will identify the scope of work required for networks, domains, and security.
It is not possible for the Government to determine the precise types or amounts of services it will require during the full term of the contract. The Government will make every effort to provide the Contractor with ample time to respond to new requirements. However, some task orders on this contract may require fast responses to address emergent requirements. Services performed will be non-personal and shall not include inherently governmental services. The Government reserves the right to designate selected task orders (TOs) as set-asides for competition among small businesses.
Requirements
The SITE III IDIQ contract vehicle streamlines the delivery and management of application and infrastructure services and functions for current and emerging requirements. Industry partners shall have relevant experience in essential IT services and the functions listed within this document. Task orders may contain requirements for one to many of the IT services and functions listed based on a participating Government organization’s requirements. Enterprise activities and services may be combined to maximize efficiencies, drive process improvements, eliminate service overlaps, evolve with leading-edge technology, and realize cost efficiencies at the task order level to provide strategic IT advantages to the US Government.
