- Description
- THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS ONLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONDUCTING MARKET RESEARCH. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. REQUESTS OF ANY KIND FOR A SOLICITATION WILL NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE. The United States Government Printing Office?s (GPO) core mission, Keeping America Informed, dates to 1813 when Congress determined the need to make information regarding the work of the three branches of government available to all Americans. This is an inherent function of government which GPO carries out for Federal agencies on behalf of the public. The GPO is the Federal government?s primary centralized resource for gathering, cataloging, producing, providing and preserving published information in all its forms. GPO's authority is codified in the public printing and documents chapters of Title 44, United States Code. Since its inception, GPO has offered Congress, the courts, and government agencies a set of centralized services to enable them to easily and cost effectively produce printed documents according to a uniform set of Federal government specifications. In addition, GPO has offered these publications for sale to the public and made them widely available at no cost through the Federal Depository Library Program. Today, the GPO is at the epicenter of technological change as it embraces its historic mission while looking to the digital future. Today, many documents no longer require typesetting, printing, or binding and there is no tangible document to make its way to library shelves or to be preserved for the future. This evolution of document creation and dissemination has provided GPO with a significant challenge to its future relevance and viability. GPO is meeting this challenge by transforming into an entity capable of delivering Federal information products and services from a flexible digital platform. While the introduction of digital technology may change the way GPO?s products and services will be created and how they will look and function, GPO will continue to satisfy the Government?s changing information requirements, and accomplish its mission of Keeping America Informed. Please visit www.gpo.gov for more information. The GPO Office of Inspector General (OIG) provides leadership and coordination, recommends policies to prevent and detect fraud, waste, abuse and mismanagement, and promotes economy, efficiency, and effectiveness in GPO's programs and operations. The OIG offers an independent and objective means of keeping the Public Printer and the Congress fully informed about problems and deficiencies relating to the administration and operations of the GPO. To meet these responsibilities, in part, the OIG conducts independent audits and assessments of the management of GPO?s information technology (IT) operations and resources. The OIG periodically enlists the expertise and services of third-party entities for certain IT-related audits and assessments and is now conducting market research to assess the qualifications and capabilities of available and interested vendors. During the course of the next several years, the OIG will require the services of an organization(s) that can respond quickly to a broad range of independent IT audit and assessment needs. These needs include, but are not limited to: Full life-cycle independent verification and validation (IV&V). Audits and assessments of: - Network vulnerabilities (to include penetration testing). - Web server and application security. - Public Key Infrastructure. - Physical and logical access and identity management systems. - Security and intelligent document production and distribution. - IT acquisitions. All contractor personnel assigned to an IT-related audit or assessment at GPO must have, at a minimum, a National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) that has been favorably adjudicated by an appropriate government authority. IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE, ALL INTERESTED PARTIES must provide a capabilities statement which demonstrates their ability to provide the services described above, as well as a statement of relevant experience providing the services to other Federal government organizations. This sources sought synopsis is not a Request for Proposal; it is a market research tool being utilized to determine the availability and adequacy of potential sources. Any information submitted by respondents to this synopsis is strictly voluntary. The Government will not pay for any information submitted by respondents to this sources sought request. All documentation submitted shall become the property of the Government. This synopsis should not be construed as a commitment by the Government for any purpose other than market research. SUBMISSION INFORMATION: A written capabilities statement, including a statement of related experience in Federal government organizations and other supporting documentation, shall be submitted to and received by: US Government Printing Office Acquisition Services, Room A332 732 North Capitol Street, NW Washington DC 20401 TIME SPECIFIED FOR RECEIPT: No later than 4. p.m. (local) on July 18, 2006
