12 June 2024 Amended

1. Changing the name of the requirement from: MDA Integration & Operations for Enterprise Solutions (MIOES) to: MDA IT Operations & Engineering Solutions (MIOES).

2. Posting May and June MIOES Monthly Exchanges with Industry slides tiltled "MIOES Industry Monthly Chargeback Showback - May" and "MIOES Industry Monthly CSSP - June"

9 April 2024 Amended

Posting current IRES PWSs (not MIOES) and slides from the February and April MIOES Monthly Exchanges with Industry meetings (No slides were presented at the March meeting). 

The scope from the following IRES task orders will be included in the MIOES contract and it is expected that at approximately 80% of the scope will be similar under MIOES: 1500, 3100, 4100, 5900, 7300, 8004, 8600, 8900.

The scope for task order 8002, under the MIOES contract, will only include scope for the MDIOC Systems Engineering and Integration requirements. All internal Program Integration currently identified under the IRES contract will continue to be a separate MIOES task order or become part of each individual task order under the MIOES contract.

The basic scope for IRES task orders 8003 and 8700 will be similar. However, the requirements will be split into multiple task orders and the objectives and outcomes will look different. It is also expected that all common core IT requirements currently under IRES task order 8003 will transition to DISA over the life of the MIOES contract. It is expected the common core requirements will be identified in a MIOES task order when the contract begins but will transition incrementally over a period of time. This is a DoD mandate. MDA is currently in the planning phases of the migration with DISA.

Note: The above information is subject to change.

Some of these meetings will include technical SMEs to discuss some of the technical requirements of the program. In order to receive a link to attend these meetings, please email mdamioes@mda.mil

5 April 2023 Amended

Updated the list of industry POCs

Added IRES Attachment J-01, Enclosure 1, HLO Capabilities. Industry said the embedded file at the end of J-01 could not be opened. Please remember, the High Level Objectives (HLO) were specifically organized for IRES and may not be indicative of how MIOES will be organized.

3 January 2023 Amended

Amended to update the list of industry POCs for additions

10 November 2022 Amended

Amended to update the list of industry POCs for errors and omissions.

The Government is posting a listing of the companies and POCs from our recent market research industry day. We hope this helps companies interact and develop working relationships as we engage in the acquisition strategy.

Additionally, a common theme during our discussions with industry was to provide as much information early in the process. With that in mind, we are providing the conformed solicitation from the current IRES contract. This was previously available on SAM.gov under solicitation H95001-15-R-0001 in 2016 but the documents were controlled. This release will include the full conformed (amendment 8) solicitation with the exception of the bidders library and property list, both are severely outdated. If you are seeking additional documents from the original solicitation or any of the 7 amendments, please contact mdamioes@mda.mil.

Obviously, the IRES solicitation was posted after MDA developed an acquisition strategy and the documents reflect that strategy. MDA has not determined an acquisition strategy for the MIOES effort and we are diligently reviewing all of the submitted capability statements. The scope of MIOES may be similar, but not identical to the IRES scope. Please do not infer the release of the IRES solicitation is indicative of the Government's intended acquisition strategy nor exact scope.
