- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to negotiate a contract on a sole source basis with Ignyte Group Inc., Washington, DC. The purpose of the contract is for the contractor to conduct a Robotics Processing Automation (RPA) Pilot for NIH Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI). RPA is the use of software bots or "Digital Workers" to automate rule-based work. In today's agile and budget-constraint environment, there is a need to implement technology that will improve customer experience and operational excellence through increased efficiency, performance and agility to obtain an immediate return on investment (ROI). In the past year, the Office of Human Resource (OHR) at NIH engaged Ignyte to test and assess the benefits and ROI of RPA for a set of tasks. OHR found considerable ROI and increased efficiency. Based on OHR results, EDI plans to conduct a similar pilot project to assess feasibility and applicability of RPA for three EDI approved tasks. The EDI tasks to be tested with RPA would involve accessing databases that are maintained by the OHR unit. The performance period of the OHR's contract for the pilot has expired, however, the software license (i.e., Appian/BluePrism) that is part of project, and supplied by Ignyte, is still active until November 1, 2019. The software license is a critical part of the pilot project. EDI intends to make use the remaining licensing period to conduct this pilot project. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (25-JUL-2019); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE. PLEASE CONTACT 877-472-3779 or fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
