All information submitted in response to this announcement is voluntary and the Government will not pay for information requested nor will it compensate any respondent for any cost incurred in developing information provided to the Government. F2VVJ63306AC01 shall be used to reference any written responses to this sources sought. 6th Contracting Squadron, MacDill Air Force Base has a requirement for maintenance of the COMSEC Accounting Reporting and Distribution System (CARDS) software suite known as Coalition Electronic Key Management System (CEKMS) in support of United States Central Command. The North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code proposed is 541511. The size standard for NAICS is $34,000,000.00 The United States Central Command/CCJ6 has a requirement for intensive system repairs, software maintenance and CARDS training to maintain the current system which requires qualified personnel familiar with the CARDS system operations and maintenance. Prologic Inc. (Ultra) is the only company to ever develop both the hardware and software for the proposed equipment. Capability: The CEKMS/CARDS is the only system accredited and approved by the National Security Agency for the delivery of electronic COMSEC material to USCENTCOM's coalition partner COMSEC accounts. The CEKMS system allows for the secure automated one-way transfer of key from a regional network to a Coalition network. Once the key has been transferred to the Coalition Network, the destination client account is able to download the key from the isolated Coalition Network only. This prevents the client account from being able to access the Regional or Coalition Network or to do anything but download key from their Coalition Network.

The government requests interested parties submit a brief description of their company's business size (i.e. annual revenues and employee size), business status (i.e., 8(a), Historically Underutilized Business Zone, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, woman-owned small business, veteran-owned small business, or small business) anticipated teaming arrangements, and a description of similar services offered to the Government and to commercial customers.
