Description

At the request of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Office of Managing Director (OMD), and to ensure wide exposure of the Universal Service Administrative Company's (USAC) solicitations, the FCC is alerting the public that USAC has posted on its website, the Request for Information (RFI) for a search engine for USAC's public website. The RFI is available electronically at http://www.usac.org/about/tools/procurement. The closing date for information submittals is April 1, 2013 at 5:00PM Eastern Time. This announcement constitutes only the RFI. No additional notification will be issued by the FCC. ALL COMMUNICATIONS IN REFERENCE TO THESE OPPORTUNITIES SHALL BE THROUGH USAC'S Contracting Office. The RFI describes the services requested and provides instructions on how to respond. BACKGROUND: USAC is a not-for-profit Delaware corporation. The FCC has appointed USAC as the permanent administrator of the Universal Service Fund (USF) and the universal service support mechanisms (Support Mechanisms): High Cost (HC), Low Income (LI), Rural Health Care (RHC) and Schools & Libraries (SL) as set forth in Title 47, Part 54, Section 701 of the Code of Federal Regulations. As part of its administrative function, USAC performs, subject to FCC oversight, the billing, collection, and disbursement functions associated with the USF and the Support Mechanisms. Additional information concerning USAC and its administration of the USF and Support Mechanisms can be obtained from USAC's website located at: www.usac.org. USAC is requesting information from website search engine providers who can recommend/implement a solution that will allow USAC to procure a new search engine for its public website. The new search engine can be either a server solution (COTS, or otherwise) implemented and hosted by USAC, or a "cloud" offering as the data the search engine handles is public and related to the public website. 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. All information submittals must be received no later than April 1, 2013. The RFI describes the services requested and provides instructions on how to respond. THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT BY A FEDERAL AGENCY, GOVERNMENT CORPORATION, GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED CORPORATION OR OTHER ESTABLISHMENT IN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. THE CONTRACT AWARDED AS A RESULT OF THIS RFQ WILL NOT BE A SUBCONTRACT UNDER A FEDERAL PRIME CONTRACT TO USAC. Complete information must be submitted to Mr. Aaron Hamm, USAC Contracting Office, no later than the date and time set forth in the RFQ. Quotes must be submitted by e-mail (rfp@usac.org), mail, courier or hand delivered to: Universal Service Administrative Company Attn: Mr. Aaron Hamm, 2000 L Street, NW, Suite 200. Washington, DC 20036.
