Person Profile
Contracting officer information and contact details
The Government Accountability Office is soliciting software that provides construction cost data and estimation capabilities, requiring the offering to be equal to or better than RSMeans Online by The Gordian Group, Inc., as mandated by FAR 52.211-6. The software must deliver online subscription access to comprehensive construction cost datasets organized under MasterFormat and Uniformat standards, covering commercial, residential, and facilities construction categories, along with AI-powered generation of cost estimates and unlimited monthly chat support for users. Performance is to be delivered under a Firm Fixed Price contract spanning from July 2026 through July 2031, with options structured by year in three-year increments up to five separate periods. The place of performance is Washington, D.C., and delivery is FOB destination, meaning the contractor is responsible for transportation and risk until receipt at the GAO's address. The evaluation will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach, where quotations must first meet all technical requirements—including proof of authorized reseller status for brand-name products or a detailed comparison against Attachment A’s salient characteristics for comparable solutions—before price is considered, with the lowest-priced technically acceptable offer selected.
The solicitation includes mandatory clauses covering small business subcontracting, labor standards, employment eligibility, Buy American and Trade Agreements, privacy, and security, alongside specific requirements for contractor personnel. All employees must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents and undergo at least a Low Risk Public Trust background screening to access GAO facilities, with higher-risk roles requiring additional investigations. Contractors are responsible for all screening costs and must ensure all personnel sign Non-Disclosure Agreements before accessing sensitive materials. Invoicing must be processed electronically through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), with a waiver available only for those unable to comply. The contract includes provisions for extending services up to six months at a time under FAR 52.217-8 and for extending the overall contract term to a maximum of 66 months under FAR 52.217-9. No specific contract value is provided as pricing fields are blank, and while socioeconomic set-asides for small businesses, WOSB, SDVOSB, EDWOSB, and 8(a) firms are permitted, no set-aside is formally applied. The deadline for response is July 27, 2026, and submissions must be emailed to designated contracting officers.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is soliciting bids under RFQ 05GA0A26Q0053 to secure Brand Name American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) services or services equal to those offered by ARIN for the protection and management of its Class B IP address block and Autonomous System Number (ASN). The contract, set to run from August 7, 2026, to August 6, 2027, requires the contractor to provide Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) and Internet Registry (IRR) services that ensure the secure allocation and administration of IPv4 and IPv6 resources, maintain accurate public Whois/RDAP databases, and support cryptographic validation of BGP routing to prevent route hijacks and leaks. Compliance with NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-171, FISMA, CMMC, and ARIN’s Number Resource Policy Manual is mandatory, and the contractor must guarantee 99.9% system availability, process IP/ASN change requests within five business days, notify GAO of policy changes within 48 hours, and manage Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs) in alignment with IETF standards.
The award will be made using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, meaning all submissions must first meet minimum technical acceptability thresholds before pricing is considered. For vendors proposing ARIN’s brand name services, proof of authorized reseller status is required; for those offering “equal” services, a detailed comparison demonstrating compliance with Attachment I’s Salient Characteristics must be submitted. All proposals must include pricing for CLIN 0001, submitted exclusively via email to GAO contracting personnel by 10:00 AM Eastern Time on July 24, 2026. The contract is Firm Fixed Price with no options, and payment will be processed exclusively through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform (IPP); WAWF is not acceptable. Contractors must ensure all personnel are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, undergo GAO-determined security screening based on position sensitivity—including High Risk Public Trust roles—and sign indefinite Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), which must be flowed down to subcontractors and submitted to the Contracting Officer. All employees handling GAO data must pass background checks at the contractor’s expense, and the contract includes stringent clauses on whistleblower rights, anti-kickback procedures, labor standards, privacy training,
