- Sources Sought Department of Homeland Security (DHS), United States Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS), Office of Human Capital and Training Workers Compensation Claims Management System (WCCMS) 1 PURPOSE USCIS desires a web-based case management system to identify and track trends, make an analysis of workplace injuries and illnesses, conduct effective case management, and generate reports for the Department of Homeland Security and USCIS Senior Management annual reporting requirements. USCIS desires to purchase commercial or non-developmental software or commercial software that could be modified to meet USCIS requirements. USCIS desires to also know to what extent USCIS would need to modify USCIS requirements to meet commercially available software specifications. This synopsis is for informational and planning purposes and is not to be construed as a solicitation or a commitment to issue a solicitation. It is issued for the purpose of conducting market research in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 10 to determine industry capabilities, including those of small businesses, to meet the Government's requirement. No solicitation is being issued at this time and the Government makes no assertion that a solicitation will be issued. The Government is not obligated to, and will not pay for, any information received from potential sources as a result of this notice. 2 BACKGROUND The USCIS Office of Human Capital and Training (HCT) provides oversight and management for the overall USCIS Workers' Compensation Program (WCP). Currently, the processing, analyzing, compiling, and generating of reports is performed manually. 3 SCOPE USCIS contemplates purchasing six tasks using a fixed price contract as follows: Task Description 1 Provide COTS (commercial off the shelf product) 2 Install COTS software 3 Implementation of COTS software 4 Train USCIS Personnel 5 Project management 6 Maintenance and Support The USCIS Workers' Compensation Program requires a software package to track and manage all stages of the workers compensation program claims process. The WCP application must have the capability to accommodate at least 50 concurrent users. Options for additional users may be purchased. Designated USCIS WCP personnel, supervisors, and injured employees will be the primary users of this system. The software application must have the capability to submit and receive claim data to the Department of Labor and interface with the National Finance Center Payroll and Processing Center. USCIS desires a system that offers a case management feature that will allow USCIS worker compensation personnel access to real-time injury/illness claim data specific to their location for purposes of: • compiling and generating reports to meet annual reporting requirements, • identifying and tracking trends to make an analysis of workplace injuries and illnesses, • providing status on day-to-day activity to allow effective case management, and • allowing the WCP Manager access to USCIS-wide claims data to allow program oversight The vendor shall deliver the software 30 days from award and provide installation support of the software on a central server, and will use Oracle or SQL as its database source. The server shall allow multiple USCIS employees to use the software simultaneously. It is anticipated that the software and database will reside on a server hosted by the Government and USCIS users will access the software from "client" computers through a web browser. Also required will be software maintenance, installation support, technical support, system administration manuals, user manuals, and training for functional users and administrative users. 4.
