AFLCMC Cloud Productivity Suite Pilot CSO

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) is seeking white paper submissions from vendors for the AFLCMC Cloud Productivity Suite Pilot (CPSP) Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO). The goal of the CPSP is to provide an integrated productivity suite/cloud tenant/operating system offering to the Department of the Air Force (DAF) IT enterprise. The CSO is looking for innovative solutions that fill capability needs related to secure cloud instances, a comprehensive productivity suite, and hardware solutions like laptops that support seamless integration for DAF-wide adoption. The CSO will assess the alternative solution against the incumbent capability based on technical capability areas and constraints. Key areas of interest include secure collaborative and productivity platforms, IL5 accreditation and zero trust security architecture, and enterprise integration, scalability, and data portability. Some of the key evaluation metrics include: * Assessing feature parity between the alternative client and the Microsoft Outlook client * Testing for direct interoperability between alternative chat/conferencing capability platforms and Microsoft Teams * Critically assessing if the alternative file sharing system is a viable option * Verifying the depth and reliability of interoperability between proposed solution and existing Outlook use case * Testing the fidelity and reliability of interoperability between office software productivity suites Proposals should identify innovative solutions that meet these requirements and provide a comprehensive approach to providing an integrated productivity suite/cloud tenant/operating system offering to the DAF IT enterprise.
