AI Contract Overview

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) plans to issue a solicitation for the FirstSource III requirement, following up on a prior message from the DHS Chief Procurement Officer. This procurement will be executed as a small business set-aside with five separate tracks targeting various socio-economic categories including 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), and a general small business set-aside. The objective is to award a limited number of Department-wide Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts. This effort builds on the success of the previous FirstSource II contracts and is designed to support DHS by providing access to advanced IT commodities, operations and maintenance services, IT service delivery including configuration, installation and training, as well as comprehensive managed IT services. The acquisition scope focuses on enabling the Department to procure not only IT products but also related services that ensure proper deployment and support. While the current notice does not solicit formal feedback on the draft scope document, multiple engagements are planned to involve industry. Key upcoming dates include the release of Industry Day registration and draft requirements by late June 2020, an Industry Day event planned for late July 2020, and a comment period opening in early August 2020. Interested parties are invited to participate in this engagement process to better understand and prepare for the FirstSource III solicitation. The contracting office overseeing this procurement is the Departmental Operations Acquisition Division I, based in Washington, DC.

Full Description

Dear Industry Partners, This notice is a follow-up to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Chief Procurement Officer's (CPO's) message to Industry on August 19, 2019 regarding FirstSource III. The DHSCPO in partnership with the Acting Chief Information Officer (OCIO) provides the following information regarding a planned solicitation for the DHS FirstSource III requirement. The DHS Office of Procurement Operations (OPO) intends to issue the FirstSource III solicitation as a small business set-aside with five (5) separate set-aside tracks to include the four (4) small business socio-economic contracting programs: (1) 8(a); (2) Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone); (3) Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB); and (4) Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB). Track 5 will be set-aside for all small businesses (which includes all small businesses and socioeconomic designated small business concerns). The Department anticipates the award of a limited suite of Department-wide Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts from the solicitation. As you may be aware, the FirstSource III procurement is the follow-on effort to the highly successful DHS-wide FirstSource II IDIQ contracts. Attached for your review is the draft scope document. This document outlines the preliminary scope of the FirstSource III acquisition which is focused across three key areas. First, the acquisition is designed to continue to provide DHS with the ability to acquire cutting-edge information technology (IT) commodities and related operations and maintenance (O&M) services. In addition to the purchase of IT commodities and O&M, this acquisition is intended to allow for the purchase of other IT services for delivery, configuration, installation, and training directly tied to the IT commodities acquired through the vehicle. Finally, this acquisition will enable the purchase of the full range of managed services for IT commodities. At this time, DHS is not seeking feedback or comments on the Scope document. This notice is intended to be the first of several industry engagements. For your planning purposes, the following is a near-term high-level timeline of upcoming events: - Industry Day Registration Information Provided: on or before June 29, 2020 - Draft Requirements Document & Evaluation Factors: on or before June 29, 2020 - Industry Day: Late July 2020 - Comments due from Industry: Early August 2020 As always, we thank you for your interest and we look forward to your participation throughout the FirstSource III industry engagement process.
