AI Contract Overview

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) plans to award a sole source purchase order to the Western States Arts Federation (WESTAF) under simplified acquisition procedures. WESTAF is the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency’s requirement due to its existing GOTM system, which houses NEA-specific data and exclusively serves NEA and its clients. This system supports the electronic application review platform NEA-GO, a critical component managed within the overall GOTM infrastructure. The contract involves configuring and maintaining a dedicated environment tailored solely for NEA’s use, including development, staging, and live domains, with continuous monitoring and regular backups to ensure system stability and optimal performance. The scope includes continuing support for existing funding categories such as Art Works and Challenge America, the planned addition of Literature Fellowships, and expansion to cover Our Town and Research: Art Works programs beginning in 2013. Given the proprietary nature of the data and the Contractor’s unique expertise, timely engagement with WESTAF is essential. This notice is strictly informational and not a solicitation for competitive proposals; however, interested parties may express their interest to assist the Government in determining whether to pursue a competitive procurement. The contract is centered in Washington, D.C., with Latonca Harris as the point of contact for inquiries.

Full Description

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) intends to issue a sole source commercial item purchase order, using FAR Part 13.105(b) Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR 5.101(a)(2), with only one responsible source that will satisfy the agency's requirement with Western States Arts Federation (WESTAF) who has a pre-existing database GOTM system that contains only data for the NEA and would serve only requests for the NEA and NEA clients of the GOTM system. The Offices of Information & Technology Management and Guidelines & Panel Operations requires this indispensible Contractor that contains the government's proprietary information to complete the next phases and to provide services for the electronic application review system, NEA-GO. NEA-GO is one element of the entire GOTM System. The GOTM System as it exists now is hosted on a managed dedicated environment. The GOTM System in this environment contains data and serves requests for all clients of GOTM. WESTAF would configure, monitor, and tune an environment for optimal performance for the NEA only GOTM System. This environment would hold all development, staging, and live domains for the NEA so that new functionality as well as resolutions for bugs could be properly tested and subsequently resolved within this single stand-alone environment. The environment would be backed up every two hours and monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition to continuing use of the GOTM System for Art Works and Challenge America and adding Literature Fellowships in calendar year 2013 as already planned, NEA would expand use of the GOTM System for two other funding categories, Our Town and Research: Art Works.
