70 -- ENHANCEMENTS TO WORKWORLD SOFTWARE DUE 031299 POC JOE TANZI, 410-965-9470 WEB: Download Solicitation when/if available, http://www.ssa.gov/oag. E-MAIL: Contracting Officer, SSA/OAG, JOE.TANZI@ssa.gov. The Social Security Administration (SSA) intends to negotiate on other than a full and open competition basis with Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) for additional enhancements to an existing software application called WorkWORLD. The proposed contract is anticipated to have a base year plus 4 one-year options. The WorkWORLD package was developed exclusively for SSA by VCU as a software support decision tool useful in looking at alternative work incentive features of SSA's disability programs. This proposed acquisition would provide continuing development of WorkWORLD at the Federal and State level of benefits, technical support for product testing, and training packages for users. WorkWORLD allows users to test alternative policies and demonstrates the complex nature of interaction among various States and Federal benefits. Respondents should refer to the WorkWORLD Software Enhancement project. This is not a request for proposals. The Government does not intend to pay for any information provided and will not acknowledge receipt of any information received. See Note 22. Posted 01/25/99 (D-SN290967). (0025)
