DOD - Global Decision Support System - Market Research

The Airspace Mission Planning Division at Hanscom AFB in Massachusetts has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for Global Decision Support System (GDSS) Support Services. The GDSS is the primary Command and Control (C2) system for the Mobility Air Forces (MAF) within the United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM). It provides near real-time data to combatant commanders for mission management and information sharing across classified and unclassified domains. The GDSS supports over 19,000 users at 250 worldwide locations and interfaces with various Department of Defense systems. The current contracts providing support services for GDSS are set to expire on December 31, 2024, and August 31, 2024, respectively.

The tasks under the current contracts include enterprise IT policy and planning, integrated solutions management, market research and prototyping, custom application development, asset management, security engineering certification and accreditation, and operations support fielding support. The government is exploring the possibility of consolidating these efforts into one contract as a total small business set-aside. The anticipated period of performance for the new contract is from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2029.

Interested potential sources are requested to submit white papers addressing three specific sections: administrative information, requested information, and additional information.
