Project Overview:
The U.S. Army Signal Regional Network Enterprise Center (NEC) requires Information Technology services to provide Command, Control, Communication, and Computer Information Technology (C4/IT) Enterprise Management Services. Fort Sam Houston is part of a Joint Base and C4/IT support is a key component affecting the readiness and sustainability of critical DoD and other tenant activities across the installation. In addition, NEC Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) will be undergoing changes due to regionalization restructuring. The Army and the Network Enterprise Technology Command (NETCOM) are in the process of transforming the DoD Information Network – Army (DODIN-A). Some of the local network functions are moving to the enterprise. The most recent service that moved to the enterprise was Email. The NEC supports some Major Army Commands and some Direct Reporting Units (DRU) such as the Army Medical Command, Army South, Installation Command and its subordinate commands, and Medical Education & Training Campus. The overall strength of these organizations along with the other tenants on the installation surpass a population of twenty-five thousand three hundred fifty (25,350) Military, Civilian, Contractor, and Non-Appropriated Funds (NAF) personnel.
