Voice, Video and Data Contracts Awarded
-ViViD-
By David Mullins
The Naval Information Systems Management Center (NISMC), under the Navy
IT Umbrella Program, awarded two Voice, Video and Data (ViViD) contracts
on 29 July 1997. The ViViD contracts are the largest, most comprehensive
communications contracts to ever be awarded by the DON. Cumulatively the
contracts have a ceiling of $2.934 billion. These Indefinite Delivery,
Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contracts will provide the products and services
to modernize, enhance, operate and maintain the Navy's Base Level Information
Infrastructure (BLII), both afloat and ashore, as well as provide local
access and usage (dial tone). They can also assist the Navy in its implementation
of the IT-21 initiative.
Awards were made to two contractors, Lucent Technologies and GTE Government
Systems Corporation. Lucent Technologies received a full award providing
for modernization and local access and usage. The GTE ViViD contract is
limited to modernization. The GTE award excludes local access and usage
services.
The contracts have one base year with nine option years, for a 10-year
ordering period and are available on a limited basis to other DoD agencies
and the Coast Guard. They include a wide range of products and services
to implement integrated voice, video and data solutions. ViViD provides
products for OCONUS support including voice switches, routers, multiplexers
and concentrators.
Today's information technology contract vehicles must serve two distinct
categories of Navy customers:
End users who require solutions that will allow them to meet organizational
missions and increase productivity.
Technology managers who must make the proper IT choices to satisfy
end user needs. The challenges these customers face in meeting their information
technology requirements include:
Sorting through the avalanche of product information and ongoing standards
battles to find optimum solutions for end-users.
Fielding solutions that are interoperable at all levels (organization,
Navy-wide, and ideally, DoD-wide) and meet the goal architectures of the
Base Level Information Infrastructure (BLII) guidelines and IT-21.
Meeting current budget constraints and minimizing the potential future
cost of technology obsolescence.
The ViViD umbrella contracts have been designed to meet these challenges
and satisfy the requirements of both the end-user and technology managers.
These 10-year contracts have the scope of products and services necessary
for the modernization of base-level communications from the organizational
LAN up through campus-level backbone and transport systems, including cable
plant.
In addition ViViD provides data networking equipment (ViViD is intended
to compliment the PC-LAN+ contract, N68939-95-D-0018) and telephone switches,
adjunct products necessary for a full network solution such as microwave,
SONET transmission, network security and management products, and standard
pierside fiber connectivity devices are included.
The ViViD awardees are offering market-leader products in each of the
aforementioned categories, with the added value of extended warranties
included, as well as technical support assistance throughout the life of
the contract. Technology insertion will keep the hardware and software
offerings current, as well as assure that the contracts continue to provide
all network elements necessary for a full and complete communications solution.
Paired with the product offerings on ViViD is a full communications
life-cycle approach. Along with the contractor support services offered,
this approach will provide design and requirements planning, project implementation
and operation and maintenance of all or part of a network.
The contracts include lease and lease-to-own alternatives for procuring
all hardware and software offered, which not only allows an IT manager
to create an acquisition plan consistent with an Operations and Maintenance
(O&M) budget, but also reduces risks inherent with new technology introductions.
Customized outsourcing packages that can be provided through the ViViD
contracts will combine the cost of amortizing equipment purchases across
multiple years with the labor services needed to operate, maintain and
meet end-users' functional requirements with this equipment into one monthly
fee, or as otherwise negotiated. Using this fee- for-service offering,
customers can obtain complete solutions (e.g., from point of presence to
the desktop).

Why Use ViViD?
ViViD can be used as a means to procure IT products and services at
prices competitive with other existing contract vehicles. More importantly,
ViViD allows industry to partner with the Navy to fine tune requirements
and develop a complete solution for the migration of a network to the voice,
video and data environment needed to support the demands of the BLII, DII
guidelines and IT-21.
ViViD's design approach focuses on building for and seamlessly accommodating
new technologies as they evolve to the point where incorporation makes
financial sense to an individual organization or base. The ViViD awardees
will be held to a standard of assuring interoperability among all equipments
provided, as well as with existing Navy-owned equipment.
The ViViD awardees stand ready to assist technology managers and end
users with design support, budgetary proposals to scope planned projects
and help sorting through the information overload that is facing those
involved in the planning and procurement of IT infrastructure and services.
Vexing questions that IT professionals face, such as those below, can be
resolved using the ViViD contracts.
How will my voice network overlay onto a planned ATM backbone?
Will the introduction of new standards such as MPOA (Multi-protocol
over ATM) require the scrapping of existing network assets in order to
realize its benefits?
How and when will ATM to the desktop become a viable solution for my
power- users?
ViViD has the scope, financing alternatives and industry partners to
assist in managing the migration of an IT infrastructure through constantly
changing shifts in priorities, funding, user growth and technology changes.
HOW TO USE ViViD

For equipment, have a warranted contract officer issue an SF 1449.
For services, have a warranted contract officer: - Issue statement
of requirements to contractor and solicit proposal. - Negotiate if necessary.
- Issue the order.
