The OCC is headquartered in Washington D.C. and has one data center in Landover, MD. See http://www.occ.treas.gov for more information. The OCC intends to solicit and award, under full and open competition, multiple award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts. The acquisition strategy for this requirement will entail an advisory multi-step process in accordance with FAR 15.202. The procedures in FAR Part 15, contracting by negotiation, will be utilized.

The STARS integration services will support the Supervision PMOs major programs. The task order must to be awarded by the end of July 2007 to avoid slippage of that programs implementation schedule. A DRAFT of both the IDIQ Statement of Objectives (SOO) and the STARS SOO are attached hereto. Please note that these are drafts only and may be changed substantially. Individual task orders will be used to specify the requirements associated with defined tasks. The general types of support encompassed by this procurement include the following: Documentation Activities - Develop and document user and application and system development needs in terms of new functional capabilities. Hardware/Software/Network Engineering and Specification Activities - Research, recommend, architect, design, configure, prototype, install, test and maintain hardware/software solutions. Current and Future Logical Data Requirements Definition Activities - Define, update and assess data models and provide considerations regarding features such as the subject area, entity, attributes, and definitions. User Requirement Activities - Review user requirements and related business processes, verify related assumptions, and trace each requirement to its source. User Data Requirement Activities - Review user data requirements and determine the process, application, and database sources involved in data extraction. Operational Refinement Activities - Review the performance of applications, infrastructure, connectivity, databases and processes and recommend improvements. Planning Activities - Develop, submit for approval, and execute plans such as project plans, implementation plans, communication plans, test plans and other plans defined in the OCC systems development life-cycle (SDLC) methodology. Development and Design Activities - Develop and design network infrastructure and architecture elements and submit the designs and specifications. Development Maintenance Activities - Perform corrective, adaptive and perfective maintenance. Help Activities - Create and update the help files, user manuals, computer based training programs, and other related technical functionality. Technology Consulting Activities - Review and evaluate the specifications and capabilities of new or improved technologies and provide recommendations regarding the integration of these technologies.

Proof of Concept Activities - Demonstrate the technical viability of the recommended product or solution by developing a proof-of-concept sample. Prototype System Activities - Develop and construct a prototype of the recommended project solution that emulates performance in production.

Test Plan Activities - Develop test plans for approved releases of software. Integration and Testing Activities - Conduct testing activities to verify integration and suitability of products for production. Deployment Planning Activities - Develop planning documentation to support the deployment of the technology solution. Roll-Back Plan Activities - Develop a Roll-Back Plan for application package restoration. Deployment Activities Support deployment of the technology solution into production. Post Deployment Activities - Develop documentation such as as-built diagrams, specifications, operating manuals and descriptions of the deployed network infrastructure or application. Operations Turnover Activities - Develop and provide operational documentation, user documentation, and desktop procedures documentation, as appropriate. Training Activities - Prepare and execute a Training Plan to support the deployment of the product. Help Desk Support - Provide tier-3 and tier-4 Help Desk support for newly implemented systems. Post-Implementation Activities - Plan and conduct after deployment technical reviews of the product to assess features such as efficiency, functionality, reliability, effectiveness and maintainability.
