The US Coast Guard (USCG) Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, and Intelligence Service Center (C5ISC) Engineering Service Division Application Services Branch (ESD-APP) is looking to award either a BPA or an IDIQ for Low Code Application Platform (LCAP) licenses.
This BPA/IDIQ shall provide the C5ISC with its primary source of LCAP licenses and supporting license maintenance required for sustainment of existing systems, support system modernization and upgrade projects, and support new capabilities implementation to address future IT needs and known IT capability gaps.
Solutions available under this BPA/IDIQ shall be pre-approved and certified at Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Impact Level (IL) 2, 4, and 5 for implementation within the USCG on-premise data center, or the USCG Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Azure Clouds.
The USCG will consider solutions to be hosted in the vendor’s Cloud, however it is the Government’s preference to procure solutions to be hosted either in the USCG managed and controlled data center or Cloud hosting environments. All vendor-hosted solutions shall meet the DISA IL requirements and conform to Department of Defense (DoD) cloud security and architectural standards as detailed in the DoD Cloud Computing Security Requirements Guide (available at: DoD Cloud Computing Security – DoD Cyber Exchange) to allow for secure interconnectivity to the USCG network.
This BPA/IDIQ is intended primarily for use by C5ISC personnel, however BPA/IDIQ solutions will be made available to other USCG IT entities, such as the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), based on Chief Information Officer (CIO) and Chief of the Contracting Office (COCO) approval and direction.
The intent of this BPA/IDIQ is to procure software licenses and supporting maintenance services only, to include troubleshooting, helpdesk, and backend support for the selected LCAP solutions. Implementation services related to the development and deployment of specific USCG applications and IT capabilities is not in scope of this BPA and will be managed by USCG personnel.
The RFP is tentatively expected out in mid May on GSA MAS.
