D -- AUTOMATED FACILITIES MANAGEMENT SYSTEM SOL OPM-RFI-95-OCAS01 POC Denise Haizlip-Harrod, Contracting Office Manager, 202/606-4116. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is seeking information from organizations with the capability and experience to provide an on-line interactive Facility Management System (FMS). The system(s) may be integrated or be composed of independent stand-alone modules. The system is envisioned to include at a minimum the following major functional capabilities: (1) real estate management, (2) building systems life cycle management, (3) personal property management, and (4) space management. The system sought must be able to operate in a multi-location (nationwide) environment and provide simultaneous multiple user access. The system should be easy to operate and clearly understandable by individuals who do not possess a background in computers. It should be substantially parameter driven. Other capabilities required include: (1) on-line editing and validation to ensure data integrity; and (2) on-line help and query capabilities for FMS operators, OPM employees and managers. OPM is particularly interested in systems that can function using networked PC's in a Novell LAN environment connected to a Wide Area Network (WAN). OPM is also interested in learning about systems that can use a workstation as a server as long as the workstatation can be easily integrated into the PC environment. The Government has determined that this requirement is classified under the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Manual 7373 and any concern having average annual sales or receipts for the previous three fiscal years, not to exceed $14.5 million per annum, is classified as a Small Business Concern. Firms that have done the type of work described are encouraged to submit information as well as suggestions about the methods of procurement used in the industry. The following information should be included: (1) A description of the system that potentially meets or exceeds the functionality sought above, including information which clearly states which parts are off-the-shelf (OTS), off-the-shelf but must be modified (MOTS), or custom-developed software, (2) the potential offeror's qualifications and experience; (3) information and/or recommendations concerning the type of contract vehicle(s); (4) approximate gross estimated costs to implement such a system; (5) identification of any major issues that OPM must consider; (6) size of business, small or large and; (7) statement as to whether or not the company is certified as 8(a) or is women-owned. Useful additional information would be the names of any firms that have participated in similar projects with Fedeal agencies and the names, phone numbers, contact points at these agencies. Because of budget uncertainties, OPM requests that companies responding to the Request for Information provide cost estimates broken down by element. This is for planning purposes only, and would allow OPM managers to consider revision to the requirements should available funds be incompatible with anticpated costs. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. OPM is under no obligation to take further steps beyond the Request for Information. All information should be submitted to the Office of Personnel Management, Procurement Division, Attn: Denise Haizlip-Harrod, 1900 E Street, N.W., Room SB-427, Washington, DC 20415 and received no later than 30 calendar days after the publication of this notice. If a solicitation is issued, no additional synopsis will be issued. (0103)
