Office of Information and Technology (OIT) has partnered with the Veterans Health Administration s (VHA) Office of Connected Care (OCC) to establish a VA Mobile Infrastructure (VA MIS) platform currently hosted by Booz Allen Hamilton and International Business Machines (IBM) Terremark. The VA MIS is a General Support System (GSS) in Assessment and Authorization/Authority to Operate (A&A / ATO) terminology, and acts as an umbrella for sharing common controls and management across multiple enclaves and major applications (apps). The Government

requires a VA Mobile Application Cloud Migration (MACM) solution that will be comprised of three environments, Development, Staging and Production, hosted in the VA Enterprise Cloud (VAEC). For this effort the Contractor is required to utilize the VAEC-Amazon Web Service environment for its platform. There will be approximately 20 - 30 mobile responsive web applications hosted in the MACM in addition to the services needed to support these applications. The Contractor shall implement, operate, and maintain the VA MACM including all cloud services required to support VA MACM operations. Additionally, VA requires the implementation, phasing in, and migration of mobile applications and supporting services into an operational VA MACM. The Contractor shall provide VA MACM platform development and application migration; mobile environment support; operations and maintenance (O&M) support of all VA MACM cloud environments as well as the infrastructure software contained within each environment; security operations and monitoring and management; disaster recovery and continuity of operations support; monitoring and alerting support; engineering technical support; configuration management; and tier 4 helpdesk support. The Contractor shall provide all software and support required to create and maintain an operational VA MACM. OIT s ultimate goal is to achieve a Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment platform through hosting technologies within VAEC.
