Software Sustainment Services for the Deployable Power Generation & Distribution System (DPGDS) Power Unit, MEP-PU-810C/D

Amendment / Modification

This amendment addresses two key questions:

• Requirement Type: The government clarifies that this is a new requirement and not a follow-on to an existing contract. They will not be providing the Contractor Name and Contract #.
• Scope of Work Clarification: The government clarifies that the requirement is not to change out all MEP 803's controls and software. Instead, the potential need is to acquire contractor services for the management, maintenance, scanning, and security of the software sustainment configuration management for the MEP-PU-810D fleet on an annual basis. Bidders are asked to describe their approach to technology forecasting and obsolescence management for long acquisition lifecycle systems, including how they would proactively identify, plan for, and execute technology refresh or modernization activities to ensure the system software and cybersecurity remains sustainable and secure through FY38-FY47.

This amendment clarifies the nature of the requirement and the scope of services related to MEP 803 controls and software sustainment.

Bidders should adjust their understanding of the requirement based on this clarification, particularly regarding the scope of services and the long-term technology refresh and cybersecurity strategy.
