This synopsis is issued for informational and planning purposes only! The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) is seeking qualified companies with the expertise to provide comprehensive services for the Acquisition planning and management implementation of GPO?s Future Digital Systems (FDsys) Companies are hereby requested to submit a capability statement (10 pages or less and no marketing material) that addresses their ability to perform the service described below and company points of contact and GSA Schedule number (if applicable). All responses should be sent via e-mail to: lferezan@gpo.gov or mail to the Government Printing Office, 732 North Capitol Street, NW, Washington, DC 20401, Mail Stop: CSAS/LF. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE PHONE CALLS! This announcement is a request for information only and does not obligate the GPO in any way. This is not a request for proposal and the GPO will not pay for any information submitted or for any expenses associated with providing information. BACKGROUND GPO?s mission includes both printing government documents and disseminating them to the public. Under the public printing and documents statutes of Title 44 of the U.S. Code, GPO?s mission is to fulfill the printing needs of the federal government and to distribute those printed products to the public. All printing for the Congress, the executive branch, and the judiciary?except for the Supreme Court?is to be done or contracted by GPO except for authorized exemptions. The Superintendent of Documents, who heads GPO?s Information Dissemination Department, disseminates these government products to the public through a system of nearly 1,300 depository libraries nationwide (the Federal Depository Library Program), GPO?s Web site (GPO Access), telephone and fax ordering, an on-line ordering site, and its bookstore in Washington, D.C. The Superintendent of Documents is also responsible for classification and bibliographic control of tangible and electronic government publications. The proposed future system will ingest, preserve and provide access to electronic content of all three Branches of the U.S. Government. The proposed future system is envisioned as a comprehensive, systematic and dynamic means for preserving electronic content free from dependence on specific hardware and/or software. The system should automate many of the electronic content lifecycle processes and make it easier to deliver electronic content in formats suited to customers? needs. GPO's future system will allow the federal government to create content, and for GPO to subsequently receive, preserve, and provide access to electronic information. GPO's future system will be an integrated process that provides maximum efficiency and value for users. GPO has taken a lifecycle management of content approach to managing and preserving content. This approach promotes more effective and efficient processes by sharing relevant data and seamless transition from one phase to another. The proposed future system will support GPO?s end-to-end lifecycle management processes, including the creation of content, schedules, transfer, and archival description, for all content, i.e., electronic and non-electronic. The future system will be built using the OAIS reference model framework. 2.0 OBJECTIVE To provide the type of support, as needed, to the cross-functional team developing FDsys requirements: 3.0 SCOPE The services needed will encompasses the planning of an overall acquisition strategy, including determinations regarding appropriate procurement vehicles, writing Statements of Work (SOW) based on the defined requirements (process ongoing) and conducting sound procurements based on Federal government standards and policy, to meet our October, 2007 full system implementation deadline.
