Publication Date: 2012-02-16
The Department of the Army, Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) has a requirement for a Global Intelligence (GI) Services Contract acquisition for Intelligence Collection and Analysis Support, Operations Support to include Logistics and Facilities Management, Research and Development to include Systems Engineering Support, Administrative Support to include Force Management and Requirements Analysis, Information Technology development to support Intelligence and Training.
BACKGROUND:
The U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) is a Direct Reporting Unit (DRU) to Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA), G-2, and conducts dominant intelligence, security, and information operations for military commanders and national decision-makers. Charged with providing the warfighter the actionable intelligence needed to understand the battlefield and to focus and leverage combat power, INSCOM collects and maintains intelligence information in all intelligence disciplines. INSCOM also conducts a wide range of services, including but not limited to analysis, imagery exploitation, and science and technology intelligence production. INSCOM and its Mission Partners have major responsibilities in various areas: to include, but not limited to counterintelligence and force protection, electronic warfare, information warfare, information operations, and support to force modernization and training. Headquartered at Fort Belvoir, VA, INSCOM is a global command with ten Major Subordinate Commands (MSCs) and responsible for coordinating Army-wide use of intelligence assets. The command synchronizes the intelligence operations of all INSCOM elements to ensure multi-discipline intelligence support to theater/component warfighters, the Intelligence Community (IC), and other national agencies which have established a mission partnership with INSCOM. In addition to INSCOM’s 10 MSCs, the command exercises management control over a variety of smaller units with more than 11,000 personnel dispersed over 180 locations worldwide.
The purpose of this acquisition is for INSCOM to provide more responsive acquisition of services for current and future Army Intelligence, Security, and CYBER requirements and related support services. These services will supply resources that support a breadth and depth of various missions to include but not limited to: intelligence analysis, electronic systems, Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Systems, security systems, Quick Reaction Capability (QRC) systems, prototype intelligence hardware/software suites, and facilities that are developed, deployed, maintained and repaired at the highest state of readiness consistent with Army directives and standards.
