D -- DEBT COLLECTION IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 1996 COMPLIANCE DUE 041000 POC Aaron A. BoBo (202) 307-1940 The Department of Justice, using Simplified Acquisition Procedures, FAR Part 13, intends to issue seperate sole -- source purchase orders to Wilbert Briggs and Joyce Brewer, both in the Washington, D.C. vicinity, to provide additional technical support services to recommend/perform an approach to the design, development, testing and implementation of various financial applications on PC,LAN and Mainframe platforms interfacing to FMIS in the Teradata environment. The work consists of maintenence, user support, redesign and enhancement of the Debt Collection Module. It is critical to the Department in order to comply with the mandates of the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 and it's own Five-Year Plan, to retain the services of contractors with detailed knowledge of the FMIS, the processes supported by the Debt Collection Management Module, the actual code comprising the modules, and the multitude of modules supporting other payment, accounting and management reporting activities which comprisethe services provided to the other organizations by the Finance Staff. This follow-on will be the final phase of work previously performed. The cost and time to develop the requisite technical capabilities within other contractors would result in substantial duplication of cost that is not expected to be recovered through full competition. Furthermore, this would delay the completion of the new systems and seriously jeapordize meeting deadlines. Briggs and Brewer are uniquely qualified to perform this service by their years of experience with the FMIS, including specifically the development of the Debt Collection Management Module.
