PROGRAM BACKGROUND. GCSS-MC/LCM Family of Systems (FoS) is the technology centerpiece for logistics modernization in the Marine Corps. It provides accurate, near real time integrated logistics information and enterprise-wide visibility of logistics data, enabling Marines to make informed decisions about the logistics chain commensurate with the operational tempo. GCSS-MC/LCM Increment 1 began full sustainment in December 2015. The term “system” will be used interchangeably with GCSS-MC/LCM Increment 1 throughout the body of this document to refer to GCSS-MC/LCM Increment 1, inclusive of its software, hardware, firmware, and hosting environment. The term “application” refers to the Oracle Enterprise Business Suite (EBS) and other software components of the system. PDSS activities required to support the system are consistent with Defense Acquisition System Operations and Support activities, Milestone C Phase, and are listed in the following table: System and Database Administration System Integration Interface & Data Management Application Sustainment/Development Information Assurance/Cybersecurity Configuration/Change Management Defect Management Engineering Change Proposals Asset Tracking Training & Training Devices Management GCSS-MC/LCM Increment 1 provides the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) and Supporting Establishment with an integrated, distributed logistics capability to plan, manage, execute, and monitor logistics business processes and sub-processes as depicted in Figure 1 below. Specific functions include asset visibility, supply, maintenance, readiness, task organization, request tracking, and financial information. It supports over 22,000 enterprise users from over 75 worldwide locations in both ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and deployed environments. GCSS-MC/LCM Increment 1 is the first system in the portfolio and serves as the starting point for addressing several key shortfalls impacting the logistics community, including: multiple entry points for submitting and managing requests, a lack of enterprise asset visibility, inefficient capacity management and enterprise-wide standard processes, and the inability to monitor asset availability and maintain situational awareness. Figure 1 depicts current logistics business processes and sub- processes supported by GCSS-MC/LCM Increment 1.

EATO provides Marines the ability to create task-organized units that can execute logistics chain management functions. MFS provides a GCSS-MC user the ability to perform limited supply and maintenance functions in the absence of a network connection. However, this functionality is not currently being utilized. The Tactical WAN optimization solution is comprised of a suite of Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Riverbed Steelhead Appliances and Steelhead Mobile Controller hardware that is integrated into the GCSS-MC/LCM system architecture to optimize deployed GCSS-MC user sessions and reduce latency caused by poor tactical network connections. In addition, GCSS-MC/LCM Increment 1 was configured to support advanced warehouse management functions. This capability will be fully fielded in 2QFY19 and the Offeror will be responsible for the sustainment after fielding.
