Description (excerpt)
Announcement of Contract Consolidation Strategy for Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) and Fielding Support Agency: Department of Defense (DoD) / Department of the Army Program Office: CPE C2IN, multiple PMs Anticipated NAICS Code(s): 541330 (Engineering Services), 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) 1. Purpose and Intent The purpose of this Special Notice is to notify industry partners of an upcoming acquisition strategy realignment within the Command, Control, and Information Network (CPE C2IN) portfolio. To optimize mission delivery, eliminate functional redundancies, and drive operational efficiencies across all subordinate Project and Product Management offices, CPE C2IN is initiating a phased consolidation of portions of more than twenty (20) disparate legacy SETA and fielding contracts. These support requirements will be structured into three (3) distinct, enterprise-level contract vehicles: Business/Operations/Administrative Support Fielding, Property, Field Support, and Training Product Support This announcement is intended for planning purposes and early industry engagement. It does not constitute a Request for Proposals (RFP) or an invitation for bid. 2. Operational Background & Strategic Rationale Modern Command and Control (C2) modernization requires interoperability, agility, and synchronicity across multi-domain operational environments. Historically, individual program offices under CPE C2IN maintained dedicated, standalone SETA and service contracts. While effective for localized program execution, this decentralized model created operational silos and administrative friction. Modern C2 operations depend on a deeply integrated, layered architecture comprising: Infrastructure Layer: Physical and virtual compute, tactical hardware, command post shelters, platform integration, and power systems. Transport Layer: Line-of-sight, satellite, and tactical network transport capabilities ensuring high-throughput, survivable communications. Applications Layer: Common operating environment tools, mission command warfighting applications, and tactical service microservices. Data Layer: Unified data fabrics, tactical data management, ingestion, analytics, and security services. To ensure seamless support across this layered C2 architecture, cross-functional lifecycle support must transcend individual product boundaries. Consoli …
