- Description
- The US Department of Interior, through its Franchise Fund activity GovWorks, will manage the following procurement action on behalf of the US Department of Agriculture Federal Crop Insurance Corporation and the Farm Service Agency. The FARM SECURITY AND RURAL INVESTMENT ACT OF 2002, commonly called the 2002 Farm Bill, requires the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to develop a comprehensive information management system to be used in implementing the programs administered by USDA?s Farm Service Agency (FSA) and the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC). The Farm Bill also requires USDA to utilize the services of a non-Federal entity to assist in the development of such a system, and requires that a preference be given to entities that have prior experience with the information and management systems of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, and that have collaborated with the Corporation in the development of the identification procedures required by section 515(f) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1515(f)). USDA expects the contractor to provide assistance to USDA in the development of a comprehensive information management system for FCIC and FSA Programs. This system is commonly known as the RMA/FSA Common Information System, or CIS. When the solicitation for this project is released, strong preference in the selection of the project Contractor will be given to Offerors who satisfy the Legislatively Mandated Criteria: (1) prior experience with the information and management systems of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation; and (2) collaboration with the Corporation in the development of the identification procedures required by section 515(f) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1515(f)). The Government anticipates that a level of effort contract in the range of $3.5MM to $4.5M will be negotiated to cover five program phases that will span the time period from mid-2003 until late 2006. Program details and proposal requirements will be provided with the solicitation.
