The third industry day session on the Navy’s plans to recompete the Next Generation Enterprise Network (NGEN) contract has been scheduled for Jan. 25 in Tysons Corner, Va., according to a notice published in FedBizOpps.
The first industry day for the contract was held in November 2015, and the second occurred in May 2016. One or two more industry day meetings will follow in the third or fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017.
“The reason for hosting multiple industry days is the large size and technical complexity of the $3.5 billion NGEN recompete offer,” a spokesman for the Navy’s Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information Systems (PEO-EIS) told Defense Daily Jan. 18. “As the recompete matures and changes toward a [request for proposals], the team is working to provide industry with the latest updates at each session.”
The current NGEN contract, held by Hewlett Packard [HPQ], runs out in 2018. NGEN is the Navy Department’s current enterprise-wide information technology services contract. The Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) represents about 70 percent of the department’s IT operations.
