- Description
- Requirements document This is a request for information notice. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding the availability and capability of all qualified sources through market research and insight to help assess the capability of available technologies and the long-term visibility of potential approaches and solutions to acquire a redesign of the Acquisition Career Management System (ACMIS). This potential requirement will incorporate a 3-phased approach. Phase 1- The government intends to identify potential sources through the dissemination of questions found in section 2.0 of this document. Phase 2- Using the information gathered in phase 1, the government may award 2-3 vendors small contracts for a high level solution based on ACMIS requirements. Phase 3- The government intends to formulate a performance work statement based on the high level solutions identified in phase 2 that may lead to the issuance of a solicitation for such requirement. Your responses to the information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method. 1.0 Introduction The General Services Administration, Integrated Acquisition Environment division, has determined a need to replace the Acquisition Career Management Information System (ACMIS). The intent of this RFI is to provide the IAE Program Management Office with market research and insight to help assess the capability of available technologies, and the long-term visibility of potential approaches and solutions to acquire a redesign of the Acquisition Career Management System (ACMIS) that will be developed using open source software and coding techniques, along with the ability to host it on any platform that the U.S Government requires. The solution must be able to generate reports which, when combined with data downloaded from OPM, can tell management their human capital current states and plan for future capital needs. The system must accept data from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) as well as from the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) to incorporate into the reports. 1.1 Background ACMIS was created specifically to track and report on training & fulfillment, warrants and certifications for the federal acquisition workforce. Other needs have been identified to widen the definition of who is in the acquisition workforce, to track acquisition positions and whether or not they are filled, as well as to increase the information available to create more robust reports that can be used as workforce planning tools. 2.0 Responses Interested parties are requested to respond to this RFI via email.
