The Government reserves the right to reject, in whole or in part, any contractor's input resulting from this RFI. No contract will be awarded from this announcement. Data submitted in response to this RFI will not be returned. Information is being requested in order to develop the final acquisition strategy. The purpose of this Sources Sought / RFI is twofold: first, to determine the acquisition strategy regarding small business participation and contract vehicles and methods to acquire the services, and second, to obtain industry comments on the scope and requirement outlined below.

MBS Operations Services: Perform data collection, validation and reporting of the collateral held in Ginnie Mae's MBS programs; MBS data disclosure reporting; MBS regulatory and compliance monitoring and reporting. This work is essential to the day to day administration and management of Ginnie Mae's MBS portfolio. Issuers are required to report to Ginnie Mae loan and pool level data for all of its outstanding securities. Ginnie Mae uses the data to administer the program and manage both its programmatic and individual Issuer risks. B. Information Technology Services: Provide operations and maintenance (O&M) services for Ginnie Mae's systems and applications; software enhancements; Help Desk support and data integration services with Ginnie Mae's MBS Pool Processing Agent/Central Paying and Transfer Agent (PPA/CPTA) contractor and other key business partners. Ginnie Mae is highly dependent on information technology to administer its programs. Consequently, a significant part of this work involves the maintenance and enhancement of its applications and systems. In 2017, Ginnie Mae will require the Contractor to support the migration of existing applications as it moves from its existing Data Center contractor to its new Information Technology Consolidated Program contractor. In addition, Ginnie Mae anticipates high levels of collaboration on integrated technology and software enhancements initiatives. C. MBS Analytics & Risk Services: Provide state-of-the-art, innovative and robust web-based risk analysis tools and services to effectively manage risk. Perform risk analysis for Ginnie Mae's MBS loan, pools and securities portfolio across all program types; Issuer analysis of the companies and banks making the loans; analysis of Ginnie Mae's programs and products; complete new Issuer applications, and support special projects. These capabilities will enable Ginnie Mae to rapidly assess the mission-critical information it needs to manage ongoing portfolio and enterprise level risks. Included in the scope of this procurement is a requirement to support and comply with Ginnie Mae's policies and federal regulatory requirements for IT security, Disaster Recovery (DR), Continuity of Operations (COOP), Standards of Attestation Engagements (SSAE), training support and records retention. 2.2 BACKGROUND: Ginnie Mae's MBS programs help to channel funds from the nation's capital markets into the housing market. The U.S. Government's full faith and credit guarantee makes MBS securities widely acceptable to capital markets investors which choose to invest in primary mortgages because of the guarantee. Issuers that receive funds through the sale of MBS securities can use the capital to make additional residential and other types of mortgage loans. Through this process, the MBS program increases the overall supply of credit available for housing and helps to ensure that credit is available at reasonable interest rates. Ginnie Mae guarantees that investors in bonds guaranteed by its programs will receive the timely payment of principal and interest. Ginnie Mae is a wholly owned corporate instrumentality of the United States located within the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Its powers are prescribed by Title III of the National Housing Act, as amended (12 U.S.C. 1716 et seq.). Through its MBS programs, Ginnie Mae guarantees privately issued securities that are backed by pools of mortgages insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Rural Development (RD) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and HUD's Public and Indian Housing program (PIH). If borrowers fail to make timely payments on their mortgages, the Issuer of the MBS must make the timely payments to the registered holders, using the Issuer's own resources. The Ginnie Mae MBS Program is governed by guaranty agreements entered into by Ginnie Mae and Issuers according to the terms of the Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide 5500.3, Rev. 1 ("MBS Guide"). The MBS Guide is available on Ginnie Mae's website at http://www.ginniemae.gov Currently, Ginnie Mae procures the services outlined in this RFI through the Mortgage Backed Securities Administration (MBSA) contract. Ginnie Mae awarded the MBSA contract to Deloitte on July 31, 2012; it will expire on August 1, 2017. The MBSA contract has a six-month transition-out period. The new MBSOA contract will have similar requirements as the existing MBSA contract. However, the new MBSOA contract will not include the development of new applications and modernization services. Ginnie Mae will acquire these services through a separate procurement vehicle. The MBSOA Contractor will perform application maintenance; software enhancements to existing Ginnie Mae applications, and integrate new systems or applications with legacy systems. The new MBSOA contract will streamline Ginnie Mae's data collection and reporting functions. It will also enhance Ginnie Mae's risk management, data analysis and reporting capabilities. In executing the requirements of this contract, the MBSOA Contractor will work closely with the PPA/CPTA Contractor (currently Bank of New York Mellon); the Managed Data Center Contractor (currently NaviSite); the IT Consolidation Program Contractor (to be awarded) and other key business partners. Ginnie Mae's Reporting and Feedback System (RFS) is the centralized data collection and processing system for Ginnie Mae's monthly Issuer reporting and related functions included in this MBSOA RFI. It is the single point for electronic reporting of monthly pool, loan and other MBS program data in support of the business tasks included in the contract. A.
