Process Application Development IDIQ

Description

{"description":" Library of Congress \nProcess Application Development IDIQ \nExecutive Summary \n\n The Library has a continued requirement to license, maintain, configure, and support a \ncloud-based business management platform, which includes approximately 38 existing \napplications and integrations (see Attachment J3) for the Library’s various service units \n(see Attachment J2). The platform must provide a system that is compatible with the \nLibrary’s Enterprise Architecture and IT security directive. The existing system is the \nSolutions Business Manager Software (SBM) provided by OpenText. The Library will be \nutilizing FAR 11.104, Brand Name or Equal to communicate that the Library’s salient \ncharacteristics are firm requirements. Information pertaining to the Brand Name or Equal \nSalient Characteristics may be found in the Attachment J12 document and the Attachment \nJ3 Existing Applications and Integrations Descriptions and Diagrams. The existing \napplications and integrations document (J3) is provided to potential offerors who intend to \npropose a different solution than what is currently running at the Library. \n\n \nAny viable offer differing from SBM must address the development and transition of the \nLibrary’s existing service unit applications (Attachment J2). Due to the sensitivity and daily \naccess requirements, down-time would need to be at a minimum. The Library is open to \nreceiving offers that require a transition period, but this period should not exceed 6- \nmonths. An Implementation plan and project management plan describing the work, time, \nand effort (LOE) is required for any solution other than SBM Software. For any transition, the \nLibrary will work with the awardee to prioritize the existing workflows and application within \nthe existing system. A Labor-hour CLIN on Task Order 1 is provided to allow for the \ncommunication and fluctuation required for this type of unknown work. The contractor \nmust provide a reasonable estimation and cost for such an implementation. Costs for this \nCLIN will be compared to the existing software implementation (duration, and cost) \nescalated to present day to determine reasonableness. IDIQ labor rates and licensing \ncosts will be held firm for a 5-year procurement period with the option for an additional 5- \nyear period. \n\n Offerors must propose their recommended system for Task Order 1 for which the offeror is \nan authorized reseller and identify the original manufacturer of the offeror’s system \nsolution. Offerors must indicate whether they would accept an IDIQ contract award for \nPerformance areas 2 and 3 (Task Order 2), if offering the same system solution as the \nofferor awarded Performance Area 1. Performance areas are summarized below: \n\n Performance Area 1: Business Management Platform Licenses, Cloud Hosting, Upgrades, \nand Maintenance \nPerformance Area 2: Platform Application Configuration, Maintenance, and Enhancements \nPerformance Area 3: Platform Application Development \n\n The Library’s goal is to have a single or multiple Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) \ntype contracts that can support the licensing, hosting, platform upgrades and \nmaintenance, configuration enhancements, configurations/development, and support \nactivities which will be defined at the order level on a Firm Fixed-Price or Labor-Hour basis. \nThe Library looks forward to a healthy competitive environment and welcomes you to \nreview the solicitation attached. \n\n Interested contractors shall review all attachments and adhere to the solicitation guidlines, 030ADV26R0003. \n"} Solicitation Number: 030ADV26R0003 Type: Combined Synopsis/Solicitation Base Type: Combined Synopsis/Solicitation NAICS: 513210 Classification Code: 7A20 Response Deadline: 2026-01-22T14:00:00-05:00 Office Address: Washington, DC Place of Performance: Washington, District of Columbia, 20540 POC: Stefanie Fitte, sfitte@loc.gov, 2028936318 POC: Cristina Vega, crvega@loc.gov, 2028095481 {"description":" Library of Congress \nProcess Application Development IDIQ \nExecutive Summary \n\n The Library has a continued requirement to license, maintain, configure, and support a \ncloud-based business management platform, which includes approximately 38 existing \napplications and integrations (see Attachment J3) for the Library’s various service units \n(see Attachment J2).
