70 -- HUMAN RESOURCES & PAYROLL INFORMATION SYSTEM SOL n/a DUE 072897 POC No telephone calls WEB: USPS Purchasing Opportunities WEB Page, http://www.usps.gov/business/wantad.htm. E-MAIL: Contracting Officer, tdowner@email.usps.gov. HUMAN RESOURCES & PAYROLL INFORMATION SYSTEM The U.S. Postal Services (USPS) intends to pre-qualify sources for the purchase and implementation of a federalized version of a COTS Information System to provide Payroll, Human Resources and Benefits functionality that will support the current needs of the Inspection Service and the Inspector General's office. Initially the system must accommodate a maximum of 3,000 employees, interact with multiple host-based, in-house legacy information systems, and other government agencies. A solution extensible to include other elements of the Postal Service is highly desireable, but not required. In the event such a solution is proposed, USPS reserves the right to exercise a potential Phase 2 implementation of the solution which would provide the capability to support as many as 850,000 active employees and approximately 4,000 concurrent users. This would include complex union contract administration, web enablement technology, and self service. For more information about this opportunity and instructions for submitting a pre-qualifications package, go to USPS' s web site entitled "USPS Purchasing Business Opportunities," at: http://www.usps.gov/business/wantad.htm, and within it access the item entitled "Human Resources & Payroll Information System."
