Interface Management. Interface Management is responsible for identifying, implementing, and maintaining the internal and external interfaces necessary for system operation. Interface Management ensures a common interface definition and efficient use and compliance among the system elements as well as with other systems. GCSS-MC/LCM Increment 1 exchanges information via more than 30 interfaces across 20+ external parties in all GCSS-MC environments. The current list of interfaces can be found in SDE Technical Data Package. This frequently involves extensive global coordination. The Contractor shall execute full lifecycle management (implement, support, maintain, modify, enhance, and decommission) for GCSS-MC/LCM Increment 1 interfaces. The Contractor shall define, control, and communicate the information needed to enable unrelated objects (i.e., systems, services, equipment, software, and data) to interoperate cohesively. The Contractor shall support the control measures (Configuration Management) to ensure that all internal and external interface requirement changes are properly documented. The Contractor shall define, design, and manage the physical and logical interfaces, both internal (communications between system elements) and external (communications between the system and other systems), to ensure the interfaces perform correctly. The Contractor shall support the definition, implementation, and testing of internal and external interfaces, including any associated dependencies, to ensure that systems operate as designed and meet stakeholder requirements throughout the life cycle. The Contractor shall work closely and cooperatively with internal and external organizations and agencies to manage agreements between GCSS-MC/LCM Increment 1 and other systems owners. The Contractor shall follow established processes and procedures, as documented in Interface Control Documents (ICDs) that capture the technical agreement between the GCSS-MC PMO and the partner system owner, including interface design, data integrity, network, and infrastructure. The Contractor shall organize and lead the monthly GCSS-MC Systems Integration IPT (SI IPT) and provide status and system integration information, as requested, to support PMO briefs. At the SI IPT, the Contractor shall identify, communicate, discuss, plan, and execute approaches toward avoiding or resolving issues related to interfaces between GCSS-MC/LCM and external systems. The Contractor shall deliver Meeting Minutes and Action Items capturing IPT highlights and action items.
