- Description
- The Social Security Administration (SSA) intends to lease six (6) copies of GEMINI Software for six (6) months from Policy Simulation Group, Inc (PSI), Washington, DC. Further, the GEMINI will interface with SSASIM Software [previously acquired through PSI] and allow SSA to perform more efficient policy valuations in retirement (OASI), disability (DI), and income assistance programs. PSI is the only known source with authority and expertise to provide and modify the GEMINI software as SSA requires. Any other vendor claiming to have requisite authority and expertise to provide or modify the GEMINI software must submit verifiable information that supports such assertion. Conversely, any other vendor that can provide comparable commercial off-the-shelf-(COTS) software must submit verifiable information (i.e., product literature, customer references, and product price) on the relevant capabilities and support for such COTS software. Any suggested COTS software package must be accessible to SSA for at least three (3) years, cost less than $10,000 per-copy-per-year, and satisfy the following requirements: Produce a dynamic microsimulation model for analyzing the lifetime implications of Social Security Administration policies for a large sample of people born in the same year from demographic and economic characteristics of historical birth cohorts that: 1. Utilizes the same kind of OASDI program logic (including individual accounts) as used in the micro model of SSASIM with most of all assumptions and policy parameters read from the SSASIM input database; 2. Produces output files that contain detailed information about the life events and annual OASDI program experience of each individual in the cohort sample used as input; and 3. Produces detailed output files for a cohort sample of 100,000 life histories (plus spouses and children) in less than ten minutes on a standard personal computer. Responses to this announcement must be received within fifteen (15) days after this publication date and should refer to synopsis number 04-1001.
