Full Description

Under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation, Part 6, Subparts 6.301 and 6.302, the U.S. Census Bureau intends to contract with Amgraf, Inc., a small business, on a sole source basis to satisfy user requests for enhanced OFDP functionality and training and support for the OFDP software. Background - The Forms and Mail Management Branch (FMMB) of Administrative and Customer Services Division (ACSD) began their use of Amgraf, Inc. software in 1991 to design questionnaires.

At that time, it was determined that the most efficient approach would be for Amgraf, Inc. to write the software, which would provide interface - the means of information transfer - between the Amgraf software and IBEAM. The project to create the interface between One Form Designer Plus (OFDP, Amgraf software) and the IBEAM system was successfully completed. Future Requirements - Since the initial phase of the extended project, Amgraf, Inc. has been successfully called upon to provide similar services for the past two years on this critical phase of the project, and the expertise of this proven team of experts remains needed through 2011. The continuing use of their expertise and past experience of Amgraf, Inc. on this project, will help ensure its success.

In doing so, interested sources must submit technical capabilities, pricing , and other information that demonstrates their ability to meet the Census Bureau's needs.
