- Description
- Through the Treasury Department's Office of Financial Innovation and Transformation (FIT), the Federal government will assist Federal agencies in adopting shared services by identifying and piloting common, automated solutions for processing financial transactions. An initial focus of this initiative will be the activities associated with intra-governmental financial transactions. These activities include, but are not limited to, the signing of an Interagency Agreement (IAA), receivable and payment management, IAA reconciliation, and IAA order closeout. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to acquire market information about commercial off-the-shelf software that the Federal government could potentially use to process intra-governmental transactions. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation for goods and services. Please note that no solicitation document is available at this time. In responding to this RFI, please address the following questions: 1. What is the name of the product your organization provides for processing intra-governmental transactions and what is the most recent version of the product (month, year)? Please provide commercially available descriptions of your product and its capabilities. 2. Is the product available as part of a larger suite (e.g., Enterprise Resource Planning system) or a standalone product? a. If the software is part of a suite, is it capable of being implemented as a standalone capability (i.e., does not require that supporting modules from the Enterprise Resource Planning system also be implemented)? b. If yes, has it been implemented as a standalone capability and by whom? 3. Is the software Internet, client, or mainframe -based? 4. Do you offer Software as a Service? If yes, please describe your offering. 5. Which types of intra-governmental actions does your software support (i.e., buy/sell, fiduciary, non-expenditure transfers*)? 6. For buy/sell transactions, does the software support the full lifecycle of an IAA (i.e., from order to settlement)? If not, what areas of the lifecycle does it target? 7. For buy/sell transactions, if the software is implemented by a Seller (servicing agency), does it allow the Buyer (requesting agency) access to the software (e.g., account login and password) to conduct some or all of the activities associated with intra-governmental financial transactions? 8. On what basis is the software priced (e.g., seat, transactional volume, site license)? a. Are there fees (e.g., annual maintenance fees) involved with maintaining and operating the software and, if yes, what are these fees? b. Who is responsible for paying these fees (i.e., the organization implementing the software, suppliers, both)? c. What is the estimated cost for implementing the proposed solution? Please provide a range (e.g., high, medium and low) based on your experience. 9. Is the software available on a Federal schedule? If yes, which schedule(s)? 10. Identify your business size classification (i.e., small, HUBZone, SDVOSB, 8(a), Woman-owned). This request is based on NAICS 541512 which has a business size standard of $25 million. 11. Who is a point of contact at your organization (i.e., name, phone, email address) that we can contact for further information? At the Government's option, we may schedule in person meetings to discuss or clarify information provided in response to this RFI or to request demonstrations of the proposed product(s). The Government may use a contractor to prepare a business case analysis related to this process. If a Contractor provides these services, the information gathered in response to this RFI will be provided to the Contractor unless the individual or company providing the response requests that it not be shared. The Government will require that any Contractor employees preparing or reviewing the business case analysis sign non-disclosure statements before receiving the information. Your response should be sent to psb3@bpd.treas.gov no later than 2:00 p.m. on Aug 13, 2010. In your response, please reference RFI-FIT-10-0078 in the subject line. The following file extensions are not allowable and application materials/data submitted with these extensions cannot be considered:.bat,.cmd,.com,.exe,.pif,.rar,.scr,.vbs,.hta,.cpl, and.zip files. Microsoft Office compatible documents are acceptable. Any questions related to this request for information shall be directed to the Contract Specialist or Contracting Officer in this notice. No contact shall be made to FIT staff. *Buy/sell: Intra-governmental exchange transactions related to goods and services rendered, accounts receivable/payable and other liabilities, advances, prepayments from/to, and deferred credits. Fiduciary: Intra-governmental transactions that consist of Bureau of Public Debt investments and borrowings, Federal Financing Bank borrowings, Department of Labor Federal Employee Compensation Act transactions, and Office of Personnel Management employee benefit transactions. Non-expenditure transfer: A transaction between appropriation and fund accounts that does not represent payments for goods and services received or to be received but rather serves only to adjust the amounts available in the accounts for making payments. Interested offerors may register at http://www.fedbizopps.gov to receive notification when the solicitation and any amendments are issued and available for downloading. Please note that the General Services Administration provides the notification service as a convenience and does not guarantee that notifications will be received by all persons on the mailing list.
