- Description
- This document serves as a formal Pre-Solicitation Notice for SSA-RFP-03-0539. On January 2, 2003 the Social Security Administration published an Initial Public Announcement for an A-76 Full Cost Comparison Study for Information Technology Help-Desk Services In the FedBizOps forum (Reference Number: SSA-A76-HELPDESK), and on July 27, 2003 SSA published a modification to this Initial Public Announcement. The Help-Desk services under study support all SSA users of information technology, specifically in the identification, diagnosis, and resolution of problems involving information technology hardware and software. The incumbent service provider currently performing the activity under study is the Social Security Administration/ Office of Systems. The activity under study is currently provided at the Social Security Administration?s headquarters in Woodlawn, MD and at six Remote Operations Communications Centers located in: Philadelphia, PA; Richmond, CA; Birmingham, AL; Jamaica, NY; Chicago, IL; Kansas City, MO. At the time of this announcement the number of Government personnel (FTEs) performing the activity is sixty-eight (68) These incumbent Government service provider FTEs are augmented by private sector contractor staff numbering forty-seven (47) persons. All of the Government FTEs and contractor personnel identified herein are subject to this A-76 study. SSA anticipates release of a formal solicitation/ Request For Proposals, SSA-RFP-03-0539, for this A-76 Standard Competition in the FedBizOps forum on or about July, 17, 2003. The Social Security Administration anticipates awarding a one year firm-fixed price contract, with four option years for Information Technology Help-Desk Services. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 541519, ?Other Computer Related Services?, with a size standard of $21,000,000.00. SSA?s market research and analysis has identified multiple potential small businesses, either solely or in partnership arrangements, that appear capable of meeting the Government?s requirements. As a result of this analysis, this procurement will be a 100% small business set-aside, as prescribed at FAR 19.502-2. (See Number Note 1) Additional information regarding this study, specifically a DRAFT copy of the Performance Work Statement (PWS), is contained as an attachment to this pre-solicitation announcement (file name: DRAFT SSA A-76 Help-Desk PWS.doc).
