U--Base Award - USAB - Webinar Support

This action is a sources-sought notice issued by the Department of the Interior’s IBC Acquisition Services Directorate to assess marketplace capabilities for webinar 508 support and administration services, and it is not a solicitation for award. The requirement, identified by solicitation number 140D0426Q0521 and NAICS code 611710, seeks a contractor to own and operate a webinar platform, manage course registration, administer Continuing Education Units (CEUs), and deliver a total of 16 annual webinars—ten ADA/ABA webinars on the first Thursday of each month from February through December between 2:30 pm and 4:00 pm ET, and six Section 508 webinars on the last Tuesday of each month from January through November between 1:00 pm and 2:30 pm ET. The contractor must provide all necessary infrastructure including servers, software, internet connectivity, and support systems, and ensure full compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, Revised 508 Standards (36 CFR Part 1194), and WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility criteria, including the provision of American Sign Language video via a scalable, adjustable window and verification of sound quality for participants who are hard of hearing. All systems must comply with federal security and privacy laws, including FISMA, OMB Circular A-130, the Privacy Act of 1974, and NIST guidelines, with mandatory submission of an IT Security Plan for COR acceptance within 30 days of award and annual recertification thereafter. Personnel with access to USAB systems must undergo appropriate background screening and receive annual IT security training, and immediate notification is required upon termination of any such employee. The contractor is responsible for IT security across all systems connected to the US Access Board network, regardless of location, and must maintain archived webinar sessions and registrant databases for transfer to the government at contract closeout. Work may be performed at the contractor’s facility due to limited space at the USAB office in Washington, DC, though government-furnished equipment may be provided for presenters. Responses must include company name and SAM UEI, business size status for the $24 million size standard, documentation of SBA-certified socioeconomic designations, a capabilities statement addressing Section 3.1 of the Statement of Work, and point of contact details, all submitted by email to the designated POC by the June
