- The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has a continuing requirement for independent, objective, and expert Enterprise Architecture (EA) technical services and support. The estimated release date of the Request for Proposal (RFP) is January 22, 2002. Proposals will be due approximately 30 days after release of the RFP. The EA contractor will be expected to provide senior level technical expertise necessary to initiate, develop, facilitate, implement, and maintain a comprehensive EA methodology and structure at the USPTO. It is expected that the contractor will advise and assist the USPTO in evaluating and incorporating emerging technologies, standards, and products into the USPTO enterprise infrastructure and will evaluate and/or review technical architectures and designs for emerging automated information systems. The contractor will also be responsible for providing technical support specifically related to application architecture activities including the development of strategies for the institutionalization of component-based development, the identification of component development opportunities, and the development of strategies for the migration from Cool:Gen to Java and J2EE. The contractor must be able provide senior level technical architects in the following disciplines: Applications, Application Integration, Business, Infrastructure, Operations, Security, Data, Storage Management, Information Assurance, Presentation/User Interface, Desktop, Developer Tools/Integrated Development Environment (IDE), Distributed Computing, and Search Systems. This procurement will be conducted as a 100% HUBZone set-aside. The NAICS code is ?541519?Other Computer Related Services.? The USPTO expects to award a single contract as a result of this competition. The USPTO intends to award the contract with a base period of performance of one year with four (4) one-year option periods. It is anticipated that the contract will be a labor hour type contract with task ordering provisions. The anticipated annual level of effort for this requirement is 24,000 hours for each year of the contract (including options). Businesses will be required to be located within the Washington, DC, metropolitan area to respond to the Government's advance 30 minutes requirement for meetings at the USPTO in Arlington, VA. Due to the advisory and confidential nature of the services involved, the USPTO recognizes the potential of a significant organizational conflict of interest. Therefore, the USPTO intends to impose the following restrictions and restraints upon the EA contractor: These OCOI restrictions include the prohibition of the winning offeror, its parent, any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, or successors in interest, consultants, and subcontractors from participating (in any capacity) in any USPTO procurements, other than those activities in direct support of the EA contract, throughout the duration of the EA contract (including options) plus an additional five years. The EA contractor, its parent, any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, or successors in interest, consultants, and subcontractors (of any tier?) will be prohibited from using any proprietary information obtained in support of the EA contract for the duration of the EA contract (including options) plus an additional five years or until the information becomes part of the public domain, whichever comes latest. The EA contractor will be required to certify annually that it, its parent, any affiliates, subsidiaries, or successors in interest, consultant, and subcontractors are in compliance with the USPTO OCOI requirements.
