- Description
- Request for Information US Government Accountability Office Request for Information Design and Deployment of “Cloud” Services The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is requesting information regarding the design and deployment of “cloud” services from vendors with experience and offerings in this field. GAO is requesting this information to help in its assessment of alternatives for addressing current challenges. As with other federal agencies, GAO needs to continue providing effective information technology in support of the mission and work of the agency while facing the possibility of significantly fewer resources, now and in the next few years. This situation is the key impetus and driver for a strategic reassessment of how GAO provides and pays for its information technology and, more particularly, for this request for information. In facing both an expected decrease in resources and the impending end of life for major elements of its existing infrastructure, GAO is looking for avenues to not merely maintain the existing environment but to take steps to transform it into an environment that is more cost-effective, sustainable and aligned with future business needs. These factors present both a difficult challenge but may also be an occasion for possible change. This Request for Information is being issued consistent with and in the spirit of an exchange of information with industry as per Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 15.201. This RFI is prepared for planning purposes only and is issued with the intent of obtaining price, delivery, other market information, or capabilities and is not being issued with the intent of awarding a contract. The Government will neither award a contract solely on the basis of this synopsis nor will it reimburse the contractor for any costs associated with preparing or submitting a response to this notice. This synopsis does not constitute a Request for Quotation, Request for Proposal (RFP) or an Invitation for Bid (IFB).
