- SSA-RFI-17-1023 ATTACHMENT A SF18 - SSA-RFI-17-1023 REQUEST FOR INFORMATION(RFI): SSA-RFI-17-1023 TITLE: SSA PLATFORM AS A SERVICE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES SECTION 1 -- INTRODUCTION: This is a REQUEST FOR INFORMATION, Reference Number SSA-RFI-17-1023. Refer to this Reference Number when responding to this announcement. This is a REQUEST FOR INFORMATION(RFI) only, and is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The Social Security Administration (SSA) is conducting market research to identify potential vendors capable of providing Platform as a Service (PaaS) software/products and support services. SSA requires an application Platform-as-a-Service (aPaaS) environment, where SSA developers and businesses will publish and host both datasets and data-driven applications, and make them accessible to consumers in a cross-platform manner. Platform as a Service (PaaS) follows the guidelines in NIST SP 800-145, and is defined for this acquisition as follows: The solution shall provide the Government to deploy onto the cloud infrastructure Government-created or acquired applications created using programming languages, libraries, services, and tools supported by the provider. This capability does not necessarily preclude the use of compatible programming languages, libraries, services, and tools from other sources. The Government may or may not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems, or storage, but does have control over the deployed applications and possibly configuration settings for the application-hosting environment. SSA will deploy the software in private data centers and on a public cloud infrastructure as a service, and self-manage it. We require licenses that we can deploy on-premises and in an off-premises cloud. SECTION 2 -- REQUIREMENTS: Please see the attached document for background information, requirements, and information requested from vendors: "SSA-RFI-17-1023 Attachment A.docx" SECTION 3 -- INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSIONS: Please submit one (1) electronic response by 5:00PM EASTERN, JANUARY 09, 2016.

This RFI notice is for informational purposes only and does not obligate the Government in any way. This RFI shall not be construed as a commitment on the part of the Government to award a contract, order, cooperative agreement, or grant, nor does the Government intend to directly pay for any information or responses submitted as the result of this notice. The Government will not reimburse respondents for any costs associated with the information submitted in response to this request. The Government will treat each submission as confidential when requested to do so by the respondent. Respondents will not be notified of the results of any evaluation of the information received, and submissions will not be returned to the sender. No telephone calls or emails requesting a quote package or solicitation will be accepted. Information gathered through response to this RFI may inform decisions on whether and how to proceed with future procurements. Vendors interested in responding to possible future solicitations for services similar to those described herein should monitor FBO and other Government resources for relevant SSA solicitation announcements and submit responses separately from this RFI. After reviewing information received in response to this RFI, SSA MAY: 1. Contact organizations individually to ask for clarifications; 2. Continue to refine the objectives of the requirement and/or associated tasks; 3. Solicit proposals to procure the requirement.
