- The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) contemplates acquisition of Gartner (GS-35F-5014H) EXP Premier Membership subscriptions. However; TSA invites small businesses under GSA IT schedule 70, standard item number 132-51 (information technology services), to submit proposal/quotes for an alternate commercial solution that provides independent IT research, unlimited access to the research and also provides access to IT professionals for consulting. TSA requires interested small businesses to submit a proposal/quote to the contract specialist no later than 3:00pm Eastern time on Friday, August 12, 2005. No proposals/quotes will be accepted for consideration after this deadline. Following are the minimum required elements for 2 users of the subscription at TSA: On Demand Inquiry Services with a dedicated point of contact. Periodic Research Reports from IT analysts. Symposiums and roundtables for the exchange of information with other IT Management professionals. Dedicated account POC who will meet with the CIO and OCIO staff to assess needs. Access to daily research updates through either a website or an e-newsletter. The subscriptions shall be for 1 year in duration. The service proposed should identify possibilities in future IT trends and assess the likelihood of these possibilities. Companies should discuss the past accuracy of these assessments. Companies should discuss whether or not there is a peer review process in place for research provided to customers. Any third party review of the information should also be discussed. If there are any company proprietary tools used to provide the items above they should be clearly identified and the company should discuss their uses. Submissions/quotes will be evaluated on the ability of the firm to supply these services outlined above. If TSA considers other offers it will conduct a best value analysis to determine the company that will provide the service. Technical approach to providing the above services will be the most important factor in TSA?s decision. This sources sought notice does not obligate TSA to purchase services from any vendor.
