Air Force Network-Centric Solutions Contract
Abstract
Who Should Read This Report and Why? This report should be read by all who are responsible for and involved in the implementation and execution of indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts. The report addresses contracting, information assurance, small business, and oversight issues that require management attention to ensure Government contracts are sufficiently planned and implemented. Background. This report is the first in a series of reports concerning the Air Force Network-Centric Solutions (NETCENTS) contract. The Air Force NETCENTS contract is a multiple-award, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity product, service, and total solutions contract. It has a $9 billion order ceiling and a base contract term of 3 years with two 1-year options. The contract provides the Air Force, DoD, and other Federal agencies a primary source of networking equipment and system engineering, installation, integration, operations, and maintenance. We initiated this audit based on a request from the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks and Information Integration/DoD Chief Information Officer to determine whether the Air Force NETCENTS contract contained the required contracting and information assurance requirements. The Air Force Chief Information Office issued an action memorandum stating the Air Force is required to use the NETCENTS contract for all networking and information technology products and service requirements.
