The Contractor will be required to reengineer the software package in order to perform all duties and functions necessary to deliver comprehensive Software Maintenance Support. This includes Quarterly Patches/STIGS delivery, Bi-Weekly Telecons, Meeting Minutes, standard software fixes and upgrades including emergency software releases (if required) and Yearly Software Baseline releases to include up to 8 standard fix requests from users, JTE Hotline telephone/email support (to include SW and HW troubleshooting). Contractor shall verify the integrity of Firmware updates and provide support for implementation of Firmware updates to the JTE fleet and associated IUID. Additional Software as needed task orders to include: First Article Testing (FAT), Site Integration Testing (SIT), and software install/setup across the entire fleet, and Bi-weekly field support/software release status meetings.
