- Base Notice: USAC Request for Information: SharePoint Upgrade Migration Tool - USAC-IT-2013-2-08 INTRODUCTION The Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) is requesting information from software publishers, NAICS code 511210, capable of providing the services set forth herein inclusive of small businesses, including disadvantaged, woman-owned, HUB-zone, veteran-owned, and service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses, (collectively, "small businesses"). The Federal Communications Commission (Commission or FCC) appointed USAC the administrator of the Universal Service Fund (USF) and the universal service support mechanisms - High Cost (HC Program); Low Income (LI Program); Rural Health Care (RHC Program), including its pilot program; and Schools and Libraries (SL Program), also referred to as E-rate, as set forth in Title 47, Part 54, Section 701 of the Code of Federal Regulations. USAC administers, subject to FCC regulations, directives and oversight, the USF and the Programs. This request for information (RFI) pertains to a future requirement for a tool that will enable USAC to migrate from SharePoint 2007 (WSS 3.0) to SharePoint 2010/2013. USAC may conduct a competitive procurement to contract with a software publishing vendor that will recommend/implement a solution that will allow USAC to migrate from SharePoint 2007 (WSS 3.0) to SharePoint 2010/2013. USAC desires a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)-based solution that requires little to no customizations that USAC will maintain and operate after deployment. USAC contemplates awarding a single firm-fixed-price contract for one year with options of up to two and three-year durations. USAC will use also the information received in response to this RFI to determine the potential for small business participation in the competition for this contract. USAC is not a federal agency, a government corporation, a government controlled corporation or other establishment in the Executive Branch of the United States Government. USAC is not a contractor to the Federal Government. The contract awarded as a result of the RFP will not be a subcontract under a Federal prime contract. However, USAC conducts its procurements in accordance with the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding with the FCC, which requires USAC, as a general matter, to apply designated provisions of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), including requirements for full and open competition. SCOPE OF SERVICES The migration tool solution should include, but is not limited to the following primary functions: 1) Migrate individual sub-sites, lists, libraries one at a time, as they are ready to be migrated. 2) Migrate components as frequently as necessary until the migration is error-free to our satisfaction. 3) Synchronize migrated components with the original server until we are ready for end users to use the newer version. 4) Migrate the contents of custom applications (including those built by the web team as well as the "Fab 40" application templates distributed by Microsoft but NOT supported in 2010 / 2013) while leaving out the incompatible parts, allowing us to recreate the functionality if we desire without losing the content 5) Migrate workflows created by SharePoint Designer along with the lists with which they are associated 6) Rename components during migration 7) Split large sites into multiple smaller sites, or combine small sites into single sites, or even split our single farm into multiple farms if desired 8) Have some sites live on the new server, and some sites live on the old server 9) The product (either included in the tool or related) will allow us to move content, sites, webparts, workflows, and other components from Development to Test to Production. 10) The product should also moving content between libraries, lists, and sites, without changing the "last modified date" or "modified by" fields. Changes and moves can be scheduled. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS TO BE MET Firm must demonstrate experience in providing a similar migration tool solutions supporting a medium sized company.
