Virtual Industry for DFAS Unisys Migration

DFAS Contracting Directorate is releasing this Industry Day announcement on behalf of DFAS IT service support. DFAS IT is hosting an Industry Day for a systems migration project. The potential project is for a “lift and shift” of four systems from a Unisys OS2200 mainframe platform to Linux platform. This Industry Day will be conducted virtually on Wednesday, December 18, 2024, from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Additionally, the Government may request to conduct in person meetings with Industry following the December 18th event, but any follow-on with industry is not to be construed as a commitment by the US Government to form a binding contract or agreement.

This Industry Day is issued for the purpose of discussing in more detail the DFAS IT requirements on migrating four systems from Unisys to a Linux platform. Participation to the Industry Day is voluntary and will not affect any contractor's ability to submit a proposal if, or when, a solicitation is released. The Industry Day does NOT constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that a procurement action will be issued.

This event provides industry participants with the opportunity to receive information, ask questions in real-time, and partake in engagement with DFAS IT service support and DFAS Contracting Directorate and increase their understanding of the Unisys to Linux migration requirements, acquisition strategy, and contracting approach. The forum is intended to improve dialogue, provide acquisition forecasting, and provide more insight into the IT service support’s requirements.
