The Air Force is conducting market research for the Depot Maintenance Applications Consolidation (DMAC) 3 effort, which will consolidate two existing service contracts into a single IDIQ‑type effort. The work focuses on sustainment, operations, and surveillance of three major system groups – the Depot Maintenance Systems Integration (DMSI) client/server applications, the Depot Maintenance Consolidated Operational Database (DMCODB) Oracle environment, and the Depot Maintenance Legacy Systems (DMLS) including a COBOL‑based mainframe application and cloud‑hosted tools. The contractor must provide 24 × 7 × 365 system availability (≥ 98 % uptime), perform database administration, software development, system integration, cybersecurity compliance, and produce extensive documentation and monthly status reports. Key performance milestones include a 60‑day transition plan and staffing completion within 30 calendar days of award, with optional six‑month surge‑team augmentations. The effort is limited to SBA 8(a) firms with NAICS 541511 certification and requires Secret‑level clearance for personnel.
• Sustainment, operations, and surveillance of DMSI, DMCODB, and DMLS (Oracle, mainframe, Azure).
• Required expertise: Oracle PL/SQL, COBOL, Java, C, Perl, Unix/Linux admin, Agile/Scrum, configuration‑management tools, and DoD cybersecurity (STIGs, NIST 800‑171).
• Performance metric: ≥ 98 % system availability and 24 × 7 response to batch‑job interruptions.
• Contract structure: IDIQ with basic labor CLINs, optional six‑month surge CLINs, firm‑fixed‑price labor, and cost‑reimbursable travel.
• Period of performance: 12‑month base plus up to eight six‑month options and one additional six‑month option (potential total 5 years + 6 months).
