Statement of work, as posted

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) is responsible for leading the engineering of DHS’ Digital Transformation by providing knowledgeable and innovative insights into technology products or services across all Information Technology (IT) portfolios, strengthening cybersecurity, IT acquisition, IT security, executive oversight, and promoting the use and deployment of best of breed technologies using a unified framework for collectively managing IT investments. The OCIO provides enterprise technical architectural planning and delivery of enterprise IT services. In addition, OCIO is the DHS lead for Cloud based computing, in the private, hybrid and public Clouds. OCIO manages multiple, unrelated IT projects in the design, development, testing and staging phases. OCIO seeks to provide innovative business solutions, lower costs through shared services, and reduce the time spent marketing for new capabilities. As the foundation for customer-centric service delivery, OCIO establishes a secure utility computing environment where innovation, re-use, and quality are core principles. OCIO promotes the adoption of standardized solutions and services across the department. DHS has identified several requirements for new business applications that will support improved integration and overall efficiency of headquarters business units. Additionally, DHS needs to modernize several of its existing business applications to migrate off unsupported platforms and improve the efficiency of OCIO’s application delivery functions. OCIO’s intent is to build these applications based on a suite of reusable services. The objective of this requirement is to provide support to the Data Services Branch (DSB), which includes support and management of, and operations and maintenance for platforms and applications in cloud environments. This includes support of the current technology stack and additional tools/services that may be added to the stack to support growing customer needs (including Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning tools).
