- Description
- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is seeking information from industry to assist with the development and planning of a potential new requirement. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) NOTICE ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP). NO SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. •1. Overview/Purpose/ Description of Procurement The Department of Defense Office of Inspector General (DoD OIG) is seeking information from potential sources capable of planning, developing, and delivering user training for the Defense Case Activity Tracking System (D-CATS) application. A version of D-CATS is currently in use with the DoD OIG and the next version is currently being developed as an enterprise-level system for use by Inspectors General (IGs) of the Military Services and other Department of Defense (DoD) components. The enterprise version of D-CATS will be web accessible and provide for the collection, storage, exchange, and tracking of a large volume of case, contacts, complaints and investigation records. It will also allow for seamless coordination among DoD Component IGs. An estimated 3,750 new users located across the globe will require training prior to their adoption of the system. •2. Scope of Effort The contract referenced above is for services to further develop D-CATS and transform it from its current configuration as a stand-alone system for 125 users in a single location into an enterprise system supporting ~3,750 users in numerous locations world-wide. Current users trained themselves on the stand-alone version, and the referenced software development contract does not include training services. The Government requires contracted services for training all users on the enterprise version now under development. •3. Technical Characteristics In support of DoD OIG and approximately 3750 projected new D-CATS users, the requirement is for a training program plan, to design and develop training materials, and to deliver both initial 'pre-launch' and follow-on recurring 'new-user' training in accordance with the approved training program plan. Planning, design, and development will occur in the base contract year, in conjunction with the software development effort now in progress under the task order referenced above. Design and development will be finalized and training delivery will begin by the end of the base contract year, when software development is complete and the D-CATS Program Manager obtains the authority to proceed to production with the enterprise version of D-CATS. New user training must be completed in the first option year (if exercised), prior to DoD Components adopting the system for operational use. The training program and package must be kept up to date following delivery of new user training and system adoption. The PM will require refresher training and additional new user training in the years following the enterprise system's initial release. •4. Requested Information Based upon the PWS and required capabilities, are there foreseeable issues that may drive costs upwards? How can adjustments to the requirements reduce these issues without reducing the training program quality and effectiveness? Does the PWS provide adequate information to form a future proposal? If not what is lacking? Response Guidelines : Interested parties are requested to respond to this RFI with a white paper. Submissions shall not exceed six (6) pages, single spaced, 12-point New Times Roman font with at least one-inch margins on 8 1/2" X 11" page size. The response shall not exceed a 5 MB e-mail limit for all items associated with the RFI response. Responses shall specifically describe the contractor's capability to meet the requirements outlined in this RFI. Oral communications are not permissible. FedBizOpps will be the sole repository for all information related to this RFI. Companies who wish to respond to this RFI shall send responses via email no later than 10/4/2017 at 4:00 PM central standard time to Grant M. Greer at Grant.m.greer.civ@mail.mil. Industry Discussions: DISA representatives may choose to meet with potential offerors and hold one-on-one discussions. Such discussions would only be intended to obtain further clarification of potential capability to meet the requirements, including any development and certification risks. Questions: Questions regarding this announcement shall be submitted in writing by e-mail to Grant.M.Greer.civ@mail.mil. Verbal questions will NOT be accepted. Answers to questions will be posted to FBO. The Government does not guarantee that questions received after 9/14/2017 at 4:00 PM central standard time will be answered.
