Acquisition Executive Statement on the Solutions for the Information Technology Enterprise Draft Request for Proposal

Washington D.C. - August 1, 2008

“The Defense Intelligence Agency released today a draft request for proposal (RFP) for industry comment. The Solutions for the Information Technology Enterprise (SITE) will be DIA’s enterprise contracting vehicle covering information technology (IT) requirements across the Defense Intelligence Enterprise and greater Intelligence Community. It is the second indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle DIA is using to bring acquisition excellence to DIA. The agency released its first such contract vehicle, Solutions for Intelligence Analysis Support (SIA), last December.

The SITE contract will consolidate several existing DIA IT service contracts and also will incorporate at least one major service contract for the operation of its intelligence IT infrastructure. It is designed to enable quicker execution, simplify purchase requests, standardize acquisition documentation, improve enterprise program management for customers, provide better reporting capability, improve contracting performance, improve contracting data integrity and make overall processes more efficient.

The contract will have a ceiling of $1.2 billion per year over five years and, although managed by DIA, also will incorporate IT requirements from customers across the Defense Intelligence Enterprise. DIA under the SITE contract, will award four IDIQ contracts based on full and open competition, and approximately four additional IDIQ prime contracts as a small business set aside.”

ACQUISITION EXECUTIVE

DIA is the nation’s premier all-source military intelligence organization.

It provides the nation’s most authoritative assessments of foreign military intentions and capabilities. The agency’s four core competencies -- human intelligence, all-source analysis, counterintelligence and technical intelligence -- enable military operations while also informing policy-makers at the defense and national levels.

DIA’s mission is unique and no other agency matches its military expertise across such a broad range of intelligence disciplines.
