Public award description

THIS SOW REQUESTS MICROSOFT CONSULTING SERVICES AND EXPERTISE RELATED TO EVALUATION, PLANNING AND DESIGN OF MICROSOFT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES THAT ARE USED WITHIN THE TSA NETWORKING ENVIRONMENT. THESE SERVICES WILL ENABLE THE TSA TO OPTIMIZE CURRENT AND FUTURE SERVICES THAT ARE COMMON ACROSS DHS AND WILL ENABLE SEAMLESS INTEGRATION IN CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AREAS. ALL DEVELOPMENT WORK REQUIRED AS PART OF THE DESIGN PROCESS WILL BE PERFORMED AT THE CONTRACTOR%U2019S SITE. TSA REQUIRES THE CURRENT MICROSOFT ENVIRONMENT WITHIN THE TSA NETWORK TO BE UPGRADED TO ALIGN WITH THE DHS REQUIREMENTS OF EACH OPERATIONAL ELEMENT (OE) WITHIN DHS TO JOIN IN THE DHS ONENET. TSA REQUIRES THE ANALYSIS AND REDESIGN OF ALL MICROSOFT PRODUCTS USED WITHIN THE TSA NETWORK. THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION DOESN%U2019T UTILIZE THE VARIOUS COMPONENTS IN THE MOST EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE MANNER. THIS INEFFICIENT CONFIGURATION PRESENTS UNNECESSARY VULNERABILITIES WITH RESPECT TO SECURITY AND RELIABILITY ACROSS THE TSA NETWORK. THESE INEFFICIENCIES TRANSLATE INTO EXCESSIVE OPERATIONAL COSTS AND THE POTENTIAL INTERRUPTION OF NETWORK SERVICES. LARRY BESTERMAN LBESTERMAN@TWD.COM 703.820.9777
