70 -- FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE AND SERVICES SOL RFP# S-LC99029 DUE 051899 POC Joan McCoy Fitts, Contracting Officer The Library of Congress (LC) requires a financial management system to serve its FEDLINK interagency program. FEDLINK is a nationwide cooperative of federal libraries, information centers, and other federal offices purchasing library and information services through contracts negotiated centrally by LC. This procurement is to acquire: (1) financial management system software and ancillary software, and (2) technical services such as maintenance, training, installation, implementation assistance and data conversion support. The FEDLINK financial system shall consist of "off-the-shelf" software (i.e., programmed and tested software, available for demonstrations, commercially available as of March 1, 1999 and Y2K compliant) which meets standard, federal government-wide financial management requirements as well as general LC requirements. GSA SCHEDULE is preferred. LC/FEDLINK's approach is to acquire and install a comprehensive, coordinated software package -- one that requires little or no customizing for effective use. The package, or packages, must be efficiently linked or integrated to meet such requirements as single point of entry and automated reconciliation, control and audit. A standard external interface capability must be available and easily accomplished and maintained within the system. The system needs to be flexible enough to accommodate changes in FEDLINK program requirements. FEDLINK is receptive to creative solutions and alternative methods to processing its transactions. FEDLINK may re-engineer its processes to optimize the efficient use of the replacement financial management software. The contractor may team with a partner to provide the products and services described in the solicitation package. The solicitation will be issued on or about April 8, 1999. Information about the FEDLINK program may be obtained from the LC/FEDLINK website: http://lcweb.loc.gov/flicc. Interested parties may fax written requests with GSA schedule numbers and product information to: Joan McCoy Fitts, Contracting Officer, LC/FEDLINK, at (202) 707-0485 or email to: jmccoy@loc.gov, clearly identifying the subject as RFP#S-LC99029. No telephone requests will be accepted. Posted 03/19/99 (W-SN310491). (0078)
