- Description
- Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), a federally funded research and development facility (FFRDC) conducting research in fusion energy and the science of plasmas, seeks firms interested in providing consulting services to identify process improvements and strategic planning for the purpose of conducting a comprehensive Fit/Gap assessment of PPPL's current state processes to that of a future state ERP environment consisting of PeopleSoft 9.2, configured similarly to other DOE Office of Science laboratories similar in nature to PPPL, including a recommended implementation plan and budget. The Laboratory is operated by Princeton University under contract to the US Department of Energy, and is located on Princeton University's James Forrestal Campus in Plainsboro, New Jersey. It has a staff of approximately 450, including physicists, engineers, administrators, support personnel, graduate students and visitors. Its annual budget is approximately $80 Million. PPPL's existing business management system is based on Microsoft Great Plains Enterprise 6.00g33 and Microsoft SQL Server 2000, and provides integrated Accounting (general ledger and AP), Procurement (requisitioning, purchase orders, PCard log), Receiving, Asset Management and Budgeting functions. The outcome of the contemplated work effort will be a clearly articulated Fit/Gap plan resulting in documented "gaps" between current ('as-is') processes and the target PeopleSoft environment (to-be') for each functional area. Based on the outcome of the Fit/Gap, the Offeror shall submit a fully detailed project plan including resources and budget for the implementation of the recommended PeopleSoft environment, as discovered at the conclusion of the Fit/Gap phase. Statements of interest from qualified parties shall be sent to Usha Patel at upatel@pppl.gov by Monday, 14 April 2014. The statement must include company name; DUNS Number; name, e-mail address and phone number of company's point of contact; description of company's previous experience in providing services of this nature, including client and contact name, with telephone number and email address; and whether or not the company qualifies as a Small Business. The applicable North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this work is expected to be 541512, "Systems integration design consulting services, computer". Those submitting statements of interest will be notified via e-mail of any RFP posting; and the RFP will also be available on PPPL Procurement website at http://procurement.pppl.gov/Procurement%20Opportunities.HTM. This Request for Expressions of Interest (RFI) should not be construed as a commitment by PPPL to issue a solicitation or to ultimately award a contract. Neither unsolicited proposals nor any other kinds of offers will be considered in response to this RFI. This RFI is in no way binding on PPPL, and PPPL will not pay for any information submitted in response to this request. Information submitted will be used to facilitate acquisition planning. No proprietary information shall be submitted in response to this RFI. The determination of an acquisition strategy, based upon comments submitted by interested parties in response to this RFI, is solely within the discretion of PPPL.
