OPPORTUNITY QUALIFICATION SUMMARY

BACKGROUND

The Master Contract provides all Federal government agencies and other eligible entities the ability to perform all current, leading edge and/or emerging integrated Information Technology (IT) services to satisfy all IT services requirements anywhere and anytime worldwide. IT services and solutions within scope of this Master Contract include new, leading edge and emerging technologies that will evolve over the life of the Master Contract as supported by the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA).

The Master Contract leverages the existing Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) and the Department of Defense Information Enterprise Architecture (DoD IEA) version 2.0 as the basis of its IT scope. Task Order requirements under the Alliant 2 Scope are broken down into reportable Product Service Codes (PSCs) which will be met by industry through the use of standardized Labor Category Codes (LCATS) taken from the Department of Labor (DOL) Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

REQUIREMENTS

The Master Contract scope includes any and all components of an integrated IT services-based solution, including all current leading-edge technologies and any new technologies which may emerge during the Master Contract period of performance.

The intention of the Master Contract is to allow maximum flexibility in acquiring an IT services-based solution for any conceivable IT services-based requirement while simultaneously incorporating standardization through the use of standardized LCATs and Product Service Codes (PSCs) to improve reporting and metrics.

This design contributes toward driving government savings through efficiencies and improved reporting data with greater integrity while maintaining an “Anything IT Anywhere” philosophy. By nature of the alignment to FEA and DoD IEA, the Master Contract is capable of appending scope to include any and all emerging Information Technology components and services as they arise. Because technological advances over the term of this Master Contract are inevitable, the government anticipates that some of the items listed above might become outdated (resulting in legacy systems), while others, unknown at the time of contract award, may eventually or suddenly emerge into the federal marketplace. Therefore, the scope of this Master Contract takes into consideration that Task Order Requirements are permitted to include any future information technology services as they arise during the term of this contract.

The scope of the Master Contract includes every conceivable aspect of Information Technology Services known today, including but not limited to:

• 3-D Printing Integration
• Agile Development
• Artificial Intelligence
• Biometrics /Identity Management

LABOUR CATEGORIES

Alliant 3 provides the following three (3) types of LCATs:

1. Standard IT Service LCATs
   This labor category type includes the defined IT Service LCATs (refer to attachment J-3). Each of the defined Standard IT Service LCATs is further stratified to include four (4) skill levels. These may be modified through the term of this Master Contract to accommodate emerging IT Service LCATs as defined by the market. The Contractor shall utilize the Standard IT Service LCATs to the maximum extent possible. Additional Standard IT Service LCATs may be added over the term of this contract if the GSA GWAC Program is approved and appended to the contract via modification by the GSA GWAC PCO.
2. Non-Standard IT Service LCATs
   This labor category type includes any IT Service labor category that is not listed within the Standard IT Service LCATs. A Non-standard IT Service LCAT must be approved by the OCO at the Task Order level.
3. Ancillary Service LCATs
   This labor category type includes ancillary labor support and does not include any of the defined Standard IT Service LCATs or Non-Standard IT Service LCATs. Ancillary Service LCATs may be used only when the principal purpose of the Task Order is to furnish IT services-based solutions.
