V -- TRAVEL AGENT SERVICES SOL OAM-96-N-0018 POC Harold Miles (Contract Specialist) 202/512-5102 The U.S. General Accounting Office is amending its RFP and CBD notice (dated July 19, 1996) for no cost travel management services for the Agency at its headquarters in the Washington DC metropolitan area, 10 field and 8 sub-offices located throughout the continental United States. Services are to include comprehensive transient travel services, management reporting and basic meeting arrangements. This requirement will be awarded in the aggregate. However, GAO will consider offers that are team arrangements, joint ventures, or involve subcontracting arrangements, under a single, prime contractor management team. In addition, GAO is requesting that offerors include an optional requirement that would be exercised at the Agency discretion, for travel management software (single package or a choice of packages) for which offerors would provide licensed ownership, technical support for implementation and continuing maintenance and upgrade support for the life of the contract. The software must operate on a Novell platform and have the capability to generate travel orders and vouchers in accordance with the Federal Travel Regulations (FTR) and transfer the data to American Management System's (AMS) Financial Management System (FMS) (also known as AMS Federal Finaincial Systems (FFS). This contract will be effective from the date of contract award (base year FY-98), plus four option periods (FY-99, FY-2000, FY-2001, and FY-2002). Requests for the RFP must be in writing and should reference Solicitation No. OAM-96-N-0018. Firms currently on the mailing list for this requirement will not be required to re-submit a request. Firms may send their request electronically via facsimile (202/512-2879). GAO issued Solicitation No. OAM-96-N-0018 on February 7, 1997, and Amendment No. one was issued on March 17, 1997. The Next Amendment (No. 2) will be issued on or about September 12, 1997. (0230)
