Process Application Development IDIQ

Executive Summary

The Library has a continued requirement to license, maintain, configure, and support a

cloud-based business management platform, which includes approximately 38 existing

applications and integrations (see Attachment J3) for the Library’s various service units

(see Attachment J2). The platform must provide a system that is compatible with the

Library’s Enterprise Architecture and IT security directive. The existing system is the

Solutions Business Manager Software (SBM) provided by OpenText. The Library will be

utilizing FAR 11.104, Brand Name or Equal to communicate that the Library’s salient

characteristics are firm requirements. Information pertaining to the Brand Name or Equal

Salient Characteristics may be found in the Attachment J12 document and the Attachment

J3 Existing Applications and Integrations Descriptions and Diagrams. The existing

applications and integrations document (J3) is provided to potential offerors who intend to

propose a different solution than what is currently running at the Library.

Any viable offer differing from SBM must address the development and transition of the

Library’s existing service unit applications (Attachment J2). Due to the sensitivity and daily

access requirements, down-time would need to be at a minimum. The Library is open to

receiving offers that require a transition period, but this period should not exceed 6-

months. An Implementation plan and project management plan describing the work, time,

and effort (LOE) is required for any solution other than SBM Software. For any transition, the

Library will work with the awardee to prioritize the existing workflows and application within

the existing system. A Labor-hour CLIN on Task Order 1 is provided to allow for the

communication and fluctuation required for this type of unknown work. The contractor

must provide a reasonable estimation and cost for such an implementation. Costs for this

CLIN will be compared to the existing software implementation (duration, and cost)

escalated to present day to determine reasonableness. IDIQ labor rates and licensing

costs will be held firm for a 5-year procurement period with the option for an additional 5-

year period.

Offerors must propose their recommended system for Task Order 1 for which the offeror is

an authorized reseller and identify the original manufacturer of the offeror’s system

solution. Offerors must indicate whether they would accept an IDIQ contract award for

Performance areas 2 and 3 (Task Order 2), if offering the same system solution as the

offeror awarded Performance Area 1. Performance areas are summarized below:

Performance Area 1: Business Management Platform Licenses, Cloud Hosting, Upgrades,

and Maintenance

Performance Area 2: Platform Application Configuration, Maintenance, and Enhancements

Performance Area 3: Platform Application Development

The Library’s goal is to have a single or multiple Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)

type contracts that can support the licensing, hosting, platform upgrades and

maintenance, configuration enhancements, configurations/development, and support

activities which will be defined at the order level on a Firm Fixed-Price or Labor-Hour basis.

The Library looks forward to a healthy competitive environment and welcomes you to

review the solicitation attached.

Interested contractors shall review all attachments and adhere to the solicitation guidlines, 030ADV26R0003.
