AI Contract Overview

In September 2008, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of the Secretary, Risk Management Services (RMS), awarded a contract to Executive Information Systems, LLC for the procurement of SAS business intelligence and statistical analysis software tools, along with related support services. These tools are used to assist RMS in conducting enterprise risk management (ERM) activities focused on evaluating potential risks associated with Education Department grantees and their grant portfolios. The supplied SAS software has been integral in developing the Decision Support System (DSS), which facilitates data-driven risk analysis by integrating information from multiple existing data sources such as the Grants Application Processing System, Federal Audit Clearinghouse, and proprietary data from Dun & Bradstreet. The DSS analyzes financial indicators, audit findings, and compliance with internal controls, providing the foundation for enhanced monitoring capabilities within the Office of Inspector General (OIG). The DSS operates within the OIG Data Analytics System (ODAS), an advanced data warehouse designed for proactive data mining and detection of internal control deficiencies across Education Department and Federal Student Aid systems. ODAS is maintained in a separate, secure IT environment called the ITACCI lab. Continued development of the DSS relies on the use of SAS Web AppDev Studio, which interacts with the SAS ODAS backend infrastructure and the JBoss application server hosting the SAS Portal. This contract opportunity anticipates awarding a firm fixed-price delivery order under the existing GSA Contract GS-35F-0170K for the procurement of this software and development tools. The Department of Education manages this contract through its Contracts and Acquisitions Management office in Washington, DC, with Gabriella I. McDonald and Sherese Perrin Lewis serving as the primary points of contact.

Full Description

THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. THIS OPPORTUNITY IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO EXECUTIVE INFORMATION SYSTEMS, LLC UNDER GSA CONTRACT GS-35F-0170K/ED-OIG-09-O-0070. In September 2008, the U.S. Department of Education, Office of the Secretary, Risk Management Services (RMS) awarded a contract to Executive Information Systems, LLC for the procurement of SAS business intelligence and statistical analysis software tools and support services to assist RMS in determining potential risk with the ED grantee and grant portfolio as part of the ERM analysis activities. SAS services have assisted the RMS and the OIG in creating and implementing a robust system to enhance monitoring by allowing data-driven decisions and creating complex applications using the aforementioned statistical analysis software tools. The RMS system, the Decision Support System (DSS), analyzes important financial management information, including audit findings, excessive drawdown reports, financial health indicators, and internal controls compliance. In formulating risk reports, this data derives from existing data sources as input (Grants Application Processing System (GAPS), Federal Audit Clearinghouse, Audit Accountability and Resolution Tracking System, EDFacts, and proprietary data acquired from Dun & Bradstreet). The DSS resides on the OIG Data Analytics System (ODAS), an intelligent data warehouse that provides proactive data mining capabilities and identifies internal control issues within ED and Federal Student Aid (FSA) systems. ODAS is housed in the OIG's Information Technology Audits and Computer Crime Investigations (ITACCI) lab and is connected to an independent network separate of ED's operating environment. Further work on the DSS requires the usage of the SAS AppDev Studio's advanced development environment which leverages a tightly coupled connection to the SAS ODAS backend infrastructure and the JBoss application server, which is where the SAS Portal resides. The Department expects to obtain this software by issuing a firm fixed price Delivery Order under GSA Contract GS-35F-0170K/ED-OIG-09-O-0070 with Executive Information Systems, LLC.
