- Description
- RFP for Composition System Replacement The U.S. Government Printing Office, (GPO), is the Federal Government's primary centralized resource for gathering, cataloging, producing, providing, and preserving published U.S. Government information in all its forms. Since its inception, under the authority of Title 44 of the U.S. Code, GPO has provided all three branches of the federal government with a set of centralized services that enables them to efficiently and cost effectively produce both printed and electronic documents. GPO has offered these publications for sale to the public and made them widely available for no fee public access through the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP). The FDLP has served the purpose of providing permanent public access to government publications. This requirement is for replacing the current Composition System. The existing system is focused around a legacy batch composition engine, Microcomp. Microcomp is a composition program that specifically addresses key challenges in the production of Congressional publications. An estimated 700 related applications and utilities have been developed over the years to sustain and enhance Microcomp in order to support the evolving needs of GPO's Congressional customers, in-house print and electronic access. Microcomp is currently used to compose the majority of Congressional documents produced by GPO as well as key Executive agency publications. These products are printed and disseminated electronically by GPO. The Composition System Replacement (CSR) is envisioned as a replacement to and improvement of the current functionality provided by Microcomp. It shall align with GPO's Strategic Vision for the 21st Century and the agency's Enterprise Architecture (EA). It will also integrate with evolving enterprise architecture in order to automate many content lifecycle processes, back office functions, and delivery of the content in formats suited to the needs of GPO customers. The system will be rules based to facilitate the migration of content into future data tagging schemes/technologies, while utilizing industry best practices. The ultimate objective of this project is to integrate and deliver a fully functional system to meet the requirements as defined in the attached Request for Proposal.
