Description

The Corporation for National Service is seeking a vendor to provide and house an on-line system to ease communications between one of its programs (AmeriCorps) and that program's constituents (i.e. an e-community). This e-community will give the Corporation the ability to contact AmeriCorps Members and alumni, access data and information on-line, and administer Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved forms. Since the Corporation for national Service is a federally funded executive agency, it cannot endorse or support non-government services or materials. Therefore, it cannot allow advertisements, promotions, or other endorsements on the e-community or endorse the vendor as part of a contract. The proposed start date for this on-line system is October 1, 2001. The vendor will be expected to provide the following services: a secure, Oracle base or compatible on-line database of 200,00+ e-community members; seamless transition from the AmeriCorps web site to the contractor's site; ability to adapt and post customized forms that meet OMB standards; varied access levels for administrators, staff and e-community members; monthly reports on site and page usage, user demographic profiles and visitation rates; ability for e-community members to register, update and release or suppress information; customizable interest profiles for e-community members; targeted and broadcast e-mail capabilities to e-community members; ability to design, develop, and administer surveys and questionnaires on an as needed basis; on-line job postings; matching system for mentors or housing-match interest profiles by member identified preferences; ability to create multiple discussion groups on issue specific topics searchable by keyword, subject, and/or date, etc; ability to provide short and long-term discussion groups or chats; and the ability to adapt and post Corporation designed tutorials or interactive training. Interested persons must provide to the POC listed in this notice a capability statement demonstrating its ability to perform this requirement with references. This information must be submitted NLT June 29, 2001. In addition to regular or express mail, information may also be submitted via e-mail or fax.
