- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. The Solicitation Number for this notice is NBCR08023 and is issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Department of Interior, National Business Center Integration of e-Recruitment Systems. The Government intends to award multiple Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contracts for a period of One (1) Year along with Four (4) Option Periods, in which Task Orders will be issued as Fixed-Price, Performance-Based, and/or Labor Hour. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation and a written solicitation will not be issued. This document incorporates provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-24, effective February 28, 2008. The North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS Code) is 541612 (Human Resources Consulting Services), business size standard of $6.5 million in annual receipts. BACKGROUND: The National Business Center (NBC), Department of the Interior (DOI), is one of four federal payroll providers and one of five federal HR Shared Service Centers (SSC). The NBC provides personnel action processing and payroll processing to its customers using the Federal Personnel and Payroll System (FPPS). Currently NBC provides services to 40 federal agencies using FPPS. Many of the agencies have contracts with providers of automated staffing solutions such as Avue's "Staffing Module", Monster Government Solutions's "Hiring Management" (also known as QuickHire), and OPM's "USA Staffing". The NBC intends to implement interfaces between the above systems and the FPPS and any other automated staffing solution currently used by FPPS customers. Furthermore, the NBC will establish an interface from FPPS to the vendor's hosting site. REQUIREMENTS: FPPS customers utilize the automated staffing systems based on contracts they have directly with the automated staffing vendors. The NBC itself does not have direct contract with the automated staffing vendors. The NBC intends to establish a contractual basis for an interface with each vendor currently hosting an automated staffing solution used by FPPS customers. The NBC's intent is that automate staffing solution providers interface with FPPS through a standardized interface, rather than through proprietary, vendor unique interfaces. These interfaces are to be real to near-real time using web services, e.g. SOAP based messaging. The Government has already determined that Avue, Monster Government Solutions, and OPM are qualified to participate in the solicitation phase for this interface work. However, any Offeror shall be determined qualified to participate in the solicitation upon meeting all of the following criteria: 1) is the developer and supplier of an automated staffing solution; 2) hosts the automated staffing solution at the vendor's location; 3) has a current contract with an FPPS customer agency; 4) and the contract period of performance is current and will be in effect in federal fiscal year 2009 (October 1, 2008 - September 30, 2009).
