The Social Security Administration is seeking a small business contractor to provide software support services for the National Vendor File, which is used to manage data for disability providers and vendors. The primary objective is to maintain and optimize the system's critical search functionality, which relies on the open-source software packages Solr and Lucene. The scope of work includes two main functional areas: software maintenance for applying patches and bug fixes, and engineering services to assist in the design and optimization of the search feature. All work is to be performed remotely, as the contractor will not have physical access to agency facilities. This acquisition, identified by RFP Number SSA-RFP-12-1048, is set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS Code 541511. The intended contract structure is a single purchase order with firm-fixed price elements, consisting of a base year and four one-year option periods. The procurement is governed by FAR Parts 12, 15, 17.2, and 19, with the agency aiming to have the contract finalized before the end of the fiscal year.

Full Description

Show more
The Social Security Administration (SSA) intends to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the competitive acquisition of software support services for the agency's National Vendor File (NVF). The Agency uses the NVF to support its disability processes and applications by cataloging standardized data about disability providers and other vendors that support the agency. This data includes information for the agency to request medical evidence; schedule medical/vocational exams; and process vendor (provider) payments. A critical feature of NVF is the ability for SSA personnel to search for specific information about disability providers and other vendors. SSA intends to use the open source software packages Solr and Lucene within NVF to support this critical search feature. The Agency requires support under two functional areas to support NVF. First, SSA requires software maintenance to apply patches/bug fixes as discovered by SSA and others in the Solr/Lucene open-source community. Second, the agency requires engineering services to assist in the design and optimization of the NVF search feature. The Agency does not require support on-site, and the Contractor may not have physical access to SSA facilities. We anticipate conducting a competition exclusively amongst small business firms pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.2, Full and Open Competition After Exclusion of Sources, and Subpart 19.5, Set-Asides for Small Businesses. Our intent is to award a single Purchase Order consisting of firm-fixed price elements, spanning over a base year and four one-year option periods. We intend to have a contract in place before the end of the Fiscal Year. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 541511, Custom Computer Programming Services, with a size standard of $25 million. The applicable FAR references that we believe will govern this proposed acquisition include FAR Part 12, acquisition of commercial items; Part 15, contract by negotiation; Subpart 17.2, options as a special contracting method; and Part 19, small business programs. We intend to issue a solicitation for these services under RFP Number SSA-RFP-12-1048. Release is imminent within the upcoming days. Interested parties must respond to the RFP in order for the Agency to consider them for any resultant contract. Once available, we will make the RFP and any related documents for this procurement available to interest parties through electronic media for downloading via the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOps) website, located at http://www.fbo.gov. THE AGENCY WILL NEITHER MAKE HARD COPIES OF THE RFP AVAILABLE, NOR ACCEPT ANY TELEPHONE CALLS IN REFERENCE TO THIS PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE.
