Solers awarded the Cross Domain Solutions Planning, Program Management, and Development & Integration Support contract from the Defense Information Systems Agency.

April 27, 2011 - Solers was recently awarded the Cross Domain Solutions (CDS) Planning, Program Management, and Development & Integration Support contract from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). This contract will assist DISA with all aspects of implementing enterprise cross domain solutions that will be used across the Department of Defense (DoD). As the United States continues to increase its reliance on support from our coalition partners and operations at multiple security levels, this new CDS contract is an important aspect of ensuring effective information sharing across security boundaries.

The CDS contract contains two major components: Cross Domain Program Management/Customer Support, and Cross Domain Development/Integration. The first component, Program Management/Customer Support, is responsible for assisting new customers with cross domain information sharing needs to navigate the challenging process of assembling, deploying, and accrediting new cross domain information flows. The Development/Integration component is responsible for designing and developing next generation cross domain solutions that reduce the time from concept development to a fully accredited and deployed solution.

The CDS contract should generate approximately $27 million in revenue for Solers over five years. Solers' teammates on this effort include Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC) and Tresys Technology, both of whom bring a wealth of cross domain expertise to the team.

Solers awarded Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) Messaging contract

Solers will provide operations and maintenance support for the NCES Messaging service. This new contract will take the Messaging capability from a portion of the NCES program to a Department of Defense (DoD)-wide shared Enterprise Service. It includes the consolidation of two DISA messaging services (M2M Messaging and Joint User Messaging) into a single capability.

The Messaging contact will generate approximately $20 million in revenue for the core tasks over the next four years.

Solers awarded NOAA contract

August 30, 2010 – Solers was awarded a contract from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for development of the Environmental Satellite Processing and Distribution System (ESPDS) which initially consists of two Work Assignments and an overall Enterprise task. The ESPDS is an effort run by NOAA’s National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) division to provide enhanced system development and integration support for the Office of Satellite Data Processing and Distribution (OSDPD). This effort encompasses both legacy as well as next generation satellite missions such as the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R (GOES-R) Series and NOAA’s next polar-orbiting satellite series. The support will also cover the areas of IT Security, communications, enterprise data access and distribution, system tool development, and migration of the current OSDPD collection of individual product systems to an enterprise architecture. See http://www.osd.noaa.gov/ground/index.htm for more information.

Solers won this effort in an open competition under the GSA Alliant Small Business Indefinite Duration/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract vehicle. As awarded, ESPDS will generate approximately $40 million in revenue for Solers over 7.5 years with the potential to add additional work assignments as requested by the customer. Solers’ team members include Lockheed Martin, Arctic Slope Research Corporation (ASRC), Innovim, I.M. Systems Group (IMSG), and SM Resources Corporation (SMRC).

Air Force Awards Solers Contract for C2IS

October 22, 2009 – the Electronic Systems Center Air Force Material Command has awarded Solers a new delivery order contract through ENCORE II to support the Command and Control Information Services (C2IS) Risk Reduction Effort (RRE). For this effort, Solers has established a fully integrated team with General Dynamics and Artel to evaluate data storage and data management technologies and identify an extensible architecture for sharing and managing data within the Air and Space Operations Center Weapon System (AOC WS) infrastructure. C2IS is intended to be a virtually integrated database of air operations data that is accessible through Web Services with minimal degradation in Disconnected, Interrupted, and Low-bandwidth (DIL) operations. In addition, C2IS will be the data-services component of the Command and Control Air and Space Operations Suite (C2AOS).

JUM provides a SOA infrastructure with machine-to-machine messaging for the enterprise and a capability to send messages based on templates created or customized by end users. The underlying messaging service is based on a commercial product from Seros called the Information Distribution Service (IDS). Solers will work with the National Senior Leadership Decision Support System (NSLDSS) initiative, Global Force Management, and other applications to use and integrate the JUM capability.
