- Department Drawing Management SystemSolicitation Number: R12SS80097AAnnouncement Type: Request for Information This is a REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. This is not a solicitation announcement for proposals and no contract will be awarded from this announcement. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this announcement or any follow-up information requests. No telephone calls will be accepted. After review of the responses submitted regarding this potential acquisition, a determination will be made whether or not to continue with the procurement under a separate solicitation announcement utilizing Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOps). This procurement was previously announced under Sources Sought Announcement R12SS80046, IInterior's Drawing Management Solution and R12SS80097, Department Department Drawing Management System. The Department is looking to replace its current drawing management systems under a single award Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract arrangement. The objective is to obtain software, software licenses, software maintenance, and support services such as configuration, implementation, and training support related to Drawing Management on a Task Order (TO) basis. This RFI is to request input from industry on the pricing schedule descriptions, quantity discounts, labor categories, and prevailing wage determination labor rates. Since the place of performance could potentially be at any Department or Bureau location within the United States and its territories, this RFI is to obtain input from the industry as to how to best determine labor rate pricing for such diverse locations. The inclusion of each and every prevailing wage determination may be overly burdensome to incorporate and to manage. Therefore, this RFI is to look for other innovative ways of pricing the applicable labor categories. One option that has been suggested is to add a percentage to the prevailing wage determination for each applicable labor category. For example: For a Computer Programmer I performing work in Lakewood, Colorado the pricing would be $17.81 based on Wage Determination 2005-2081, Revision 11 plus an additional 10%. This would allow the percentage to be applied to each individual labor rate for the Computer Programmer I no matter where the place of performance will be. Under this pricing scheme, offerors could conceivably propose different percentages for different labor categories. In additions, vendors are also invited to provide comments on the anticipated CLIN structure for the software, software maintenance, storage, and additional bandwidth for the SaaS solution. The current pricing structure is as follows: _______________________________________________SECTION B -- SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICES B.1PRICING SCHEDULE DESCRIPTIONS The following descriptions describe the responsibilities and qualifications for each labor category.
