The purpose of this sources sought synopsis is to gain knowledge of potential qualified small business sources and their size classifications (i.e., HUBZone 8(a), 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-owned, Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned, and Small Disadvantaged Business) relative to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 541690, "Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services" ($15.0 million size standard).

Project Title: Facility Management System (FMS) Administration and Data Management Background: In response to Executive Order 13327, Federal Real Property Asset Management, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) implemented an automated Facility Management Systems (FMS) to track facilities and report to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) quarterly. U.S. population growth and demographic trends continue toward an increasingly aged and longer-lived population with attendant increasing health care expectations and needs. Consequently, the volume and scope of FDA services continues to increase. FDA staff increases to meet these needs continue to grow year after year, with the immediate cause being user fee legislation and other drivers. Simultaneously, government policy in the interest of budget limitation, space use efficiency, and environmental stewardship limit the FDA's ability to acquire additional space to house staff. FDA relies on the FMS data to support requests for additional space and for daily space management in existing facilities. The current FMS is ARCHIBUS. FDA currently uses the following ARCHIBUS modules: Real Estate Portfolio Management, Space Planning & Management, Building Operations, and Extensions & Frameworks. FDA may implement additional modules in the future. The FMS has become the system of record for personnel location and is an integral part of facilities strategic planning for the Agency. ARCHIBUS has a 2-way information flow with FDA's enterprise personnel system. FDA is currently using version 21.3 in ARCHIBUS Smart Client, ARCHIBUS Web Central, and the Smart Client Extension for AutoCAD. After the award of this contract, FDA may upgrade to new versions as they are released. Project Description: The contractor will be required to provide support services in the form of system administration, software installation and implementation, data maintenance, user guides, user training, and continued implementation of an automated facility management system (i.e., ARCHIBUS); support project teams involved in space planning, alteration, construction, and repair projects for facilities owned and/or operated by FDA; provide the computer-aided design (CAD)/computer-aided facility management (CAFM) administration for FDA; and provide helpdesk support to end users. Summary of Requirements: The contractor will be required to work in coordination with and under the direction of Office of Facilities Engineering and Mission Support Services OFEMS staff to: Provide continual FMS administration and support with minimal system lag; meet FDA information technology (IT) system and reporting requirements; ensure accurate and timely responses to Federally mandated reporting; provide real-time end-user assistance, trouble shooting, and any requested data; communicate system changes and provide training; provide comprehensive project plans for FMS solutions; and complete additional FMS tasks as required.
