1.2 Overview of Organization
The Airports Authority operates and maintains Washington Dulles International Airport, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (the Airports), Dulles Toll Road, and the construction of the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project. The Airports Authority’s mission is to develop, promote and safely operate the airports, while continually striving to improve efficiency, customer service, and the level of air service offered.
The Airports Authority employs approximately 1450 people in a structure that includes central administration, airports management and operations, and police and fire departments. The Airports Authority operates from two major locations: Washington Dulles International Airport (Dulles) and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (National).
The Airports Authority Workstation and Servicedesk service support is provided by the IT Operations & Services Department 610). This department works closely with the other IT Information Systems (MA-600) departments to provide total IT services to the Airports. For additional information, about the Airports Authority Offerors are encouraged to visit the Airports Authority’s website at http://www.mwaa.com.
1.3 Existing
Technical
Environment
The existing information systems environment is composed of a standard tiered network that uses level three switching. This environment primarily utilizes CISCO switches. Across the network, multiple Windows 2008/2003 domains provide a variety of application services to Airports Authority users. Most desktop computers run Windows XP or Windows 7, although several continue to run earlier versions of Windows, due to legacy software that has not yet been modified to allow compatibility with newer platforms.
This continually evolving environment is currently managed and maintained by the Airport Authority’s Information Systems Departments, through a collaboration of Airports Authority and Contractor personnel. The current contracting company, AECOM, provides close to 80% of IT support and services to the Airports Authority. In this capacity, AECOM’s functions include Server, Database, Network, Website, Service desk and
End-user desktop support. This solicitation calls for a new contracting company to assume responsibility of the IT Service desk and End-user desktop support functions.
The Information Systems Department’s management and technical personnel, made up of both Airports Authority and Contractor personnel, from the IT TECHNICAL GROUP. This entity meets once every week to review and resolve technical issues that affect the Airports Authority’s network environment.
Routine updates and maintenance activities that require any services to be taken off-line are planned in advance with coordination and notification provided to the affected users. The third weekend of each month is reserved for such off-line activities.
Further information on the existing technical environment has been provided in Appendix 3 – Labor Categories and Skills for Proposed Staff.

Desktop Hardware Environment
Applications are typically web enabled, with a web browser on the desktop and a web server/application server on the backend. For non-web based applications, a 3-tier architecture is traditionally used, with a client desktop software component, an application server and a database server. The Airports Authority is moving towards web based application architecture Desktop Environment.
The Airports Authority has adopted a standard hardware and software configuration for all desktops. Dell hardware has been adopted as the standard hardware. The minimum PC hardware specifications supported by the Airports Authority is a PIVMHz CPU with 512MB RAM (there are fewer than 20 PCs at this configuration level). All new desktop PCs procured in the future will have the following minimum specifications: a second generation Intel® Core™ vPro™ processor family and 2GB to 4 GB RAM, Intel Integrated Gigabit, 10/100/1000 w/Alert Standards Format, cd/dvd writer and 80+ GB HD. Minimum laptop specification will include
Intel®CoreTMi5, 4 GB RAM, Gigabit nic, 80+ GB HD and DVD+RW burner.
All Airports Authority desktops are configured using a set of SOPs developed by the in-house COTS Test lab and approved by the Technical Committee. SOPs detail how each PC is to be configured including all network, security, and application parameters.
The Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) v2007 is used for enterprise desktop systems management. SCCM provides software distribution, patch management, H/W and S/W inventory, and application metering across the Airports Authority environment. SCCM currently provides reporting on more than 1,900 PCs in the environment.
The Airports Authority currently utilizes the McAfee Enterprise Security Suite Software products. These products are used to manage real-time anti-virus and anti-spyware services in the production environment.
Specifically, McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator, McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise, and McAfee Anti-Spyware Enterprise are fully implemented in the production environment.
The majority of desktops are connected to the Airports Authority Local Area Network at 100/1000 Mbps.
Network based IP printing is the standard printer architecture. There are approximately 280 network printers deployed throughout the Airports Authority. Network printers include b/w and color multi-function printers, Copier printers, and standard laser printers. Local printing is also common and supported. The Airports Authority manages printer repair through a 3rd party vendor.
Desktop Software Environment
The Airports Authority has adopted a standard inventory of desktop software packages approved for use on Airports Authority desktops. Microsoft Office 2003 is the currently the standard productivity suite used for word processing, spreadsheet documents, presentations, E-mail (Outlook 2003), and small database development. The Airports Authority is deploying all new computers with Windows 7 OS and Microsoft Office 2007 suite. Aside from the business applications described in the Database and Application document, the Airports Authority uses a number of other standard software applications to perform a variety of functions. Below is a list of the core software that is available on Airports Authority desktops:
1. Windows XP and Windows 7 OS 2. Office 2003/2007
3. Internet Explorer v6.0-8.x 4. McAfee Anti-Virus Software 5. Acrobat Reader 6.x-8.x 6. PowerZip 7.x
