1. BACKGROUND:
NAVMISSA is Navy Medicine’s center for Information Management and Information Technology (IM/IT). NAVMISSA’s mission is to provide and coordinate the operation and centralized control of integrated automated information systems (AIS) on a world-wide basis, as directed by the CIO BUMED and higher authority; to cooperate with other government agencies in AIS matters; and to collect, analyze and provide health care and other related data in support of the Naval Medical (NAVMED) department requirements.
2. SCOPE:
This statement of work is for the procurement of a vanity 1-800 number to include: one (1) 1-800 number that can be ported to any number of NAVMISSA’s choosing and is transferable upon request.

It is understood that this vendor is not responsible for setting up “hunt-lines”, but only to provide the requested 1-800 number and port (“piggy-back”) the number when requested by NAVMISSA’s IT Department Head. The vendor will also provide an online account for tracking purposes as well as the ability for NAVMISSA IT department to switch the number themselves.

Limits on the 800 number will only be bound by the limits of the local number that it is ported to. (i.e. number of hunt lines and connectivity). The service of the actual 800 number will not lessen whether it is a “Hard-Line” or a VoIP number that it is ported to.

After the initial fee, the number will be the property of NAVMISSA; this is not a leased number.

3. REQUIREMENTS:
• The contractor shall provide the 800 number as well as any assistance (when needed) with porting and transferring the 800 number to phone numbers of NAVMISSA’s choosing.

Description: Statement of Objectives (SOO)
For NESDIS Satellite Ground Services
To Provide Independent Review Service 1INTRODUCTION

NESDIS manages NOAA’s operational geo-stationary and polar-orbiting environmental satellite programs. Their objective is to provide the spacecraft, launch services, and ground systems necessary to maintain the uninterrupted flow of remotely-sensed environmental data required to protect life, property, the environment, and to promote economic well-being. NESDIS is responsible for defining user requirements and the development of conceptual/detailed engineering design of future satellite systems to meet those requirements.

The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) mission is to provide and ensure timely access to global environmental data from satellites and other sources to promote, protect, and enhance the Nation’s economy, security, environment, and quality of life. NOAA/NESDIS acquires and manages the Nation’s operational environmental satellites, provides data and information services to numerous end users, and conducts related research.

NESDIS is actively looking at ways to strengthen its satellite programs and better fulfill its mission. To this end NESDIS initiated internal and external review teams to analyze its organization and recommend steps to achieve more successful satellite programs. These teams issued recommendations and NESDIS has taken a number of steps to strengthen both the satellite and data management sides of the organization, specifically increasing emphasis on systems engineering and common ground services, as well as consolidating the three NESDIS data centers.

One step NESDIS is taking is to create an Office of Satellite Ground Services (OSGS) which will provide a Service Catalog developed using projects end products such as the common ground Level 0 and Level 1 requirements definitions, documented “as-is” architecture, defined “to-be” architecture states (intermediary to end state), “to-be” transition plans, etc. NESDIS is also taking steps to develop a Governance framework using these same end-products.

To assist NESDIS with the steps to strengthen the satellite programs, a contractor skilled with in-depth expertise in systems engineering as an independent reviewer is needed to support the strategic and transition planning to develop a NESDIS common ground services.
