RECOVERY - Red Hat Design and Engineering Services

The Social Security Administration (SSA) plans to issue a firm fixed-price task order under a General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule (GSA FSS) contract for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Design and Engineering services. Funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the contract aims to facilitate the consolidation and migration of SSA's infrastructure from the National Computer Center (NCC) to the National Service Center (NSC). This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 541519 and is only available to holders of GSA FSS contracts. The contract is managed through the SSA Office of Acquisition Grants, located in Baltimore, Maryland, which also serves as the place of performance. Key points of contact include Terry Hemming and Contracting Officer Kevin P. Muniz, who are available for inquiries. The solicitation, posted in April 2014, is purely informational, and contractors are advised not to respond. The focus of this effort is to deliver expert RHEL design and engineering services critical to modernizing and streamlining SSA’s IT infrastructure.
