Information Technology Support Services 5 (ITSS-5)   2

The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has a requirement for Information Technology (IT) Support Services covering the complete systems development lifecycle (SDLC) of the Department's IT systems. This includes IT Planning, Program Management, Systems Engineering and Development, Infrastructure Support, IT Security, Operations and Maintenance, and other IT related services. While the variety and scope of services that will be required is known, the specific tasks to be ordered over the coming years, and their distribution across the SDLC, are not clear. The continuing emergence and rapid adoption of new technologies by Government agencies strongly suggest that the very nature of IT support services tasks will not necessarily resemble that of prior years. Large-scale systems integration acquisitions, new applications within DOJ component organizations, and the integration of and modifications to current systems, which may include transmission into a cloud environment, will have significant impacts on future development efforts in DOJ agencies. The Department anticipates that the ITSS-5 contracts will be used to provide IT services that: go beyond sustaining and expanding use of current hardware, operating systems and software; will increase business effectiveness and automation through the effective use and adoption of systems by leveraging new technologies and applications, best practices, and software; create new applications and introduce new technologies as they emerge; provide expert assistance in configuring and managing computer hardware, software and networks, in training users, and in improving systems and network security; will facilitate business change and flexibility by architecting, designing, and developing solutions that enable the rapid realization of new or changed requirements; will protect the business by ensuring that systems, applications, data and practices are secure; and will measure and continually improve customer service and satisfaction.

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items/services prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

The Government intends to award a total of approximately 12 IDIQ contracts under two separate tracks: an unrestricted track and a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) track. Approximately 6 contracts will be awarded under each track.

The date and time set for receipt of industry questions and the date and time set for receipt of proposals is specified at RFP Section 24.3.3(b) and 24.3.3(c).
