- Source Sought Notice in Adobe PDF Enterprise Contract for NRC's Acquisition System This is a sources sought notice. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is conducting market research to determine the availability of responsible commercial entities that are authorized by CGI Technologies and Solutions Inc. (CGI) to provide the NRC with the Momentum software and to assess its capabilities. This is not an invitation for bid, request for quote or other solicitation and in no way obligates the Government to award a contract. CGI-approved business partners/resellers are highly encouraged to apply. The NAICS Code is 511210 with a small business size standard of $25 million dollars. The NRC is looking to implement a commercial off the shelf (COTS) product, CGI's Momentum® (hereafter "Momentum," for its Core Financial System (CFS)). NRC's implementation of Momentum® will enable the NRC to replace multiple legacy stand-alone financial systems, including the legacy core financial system, the Federal Financial System (FFS) which is no longer compliant with Federal standards for financial systems. Currently, system functionality for the core includes: (1) budget execution, (2) license fee billing, (3) accounts payable and accounts receivable, (4) document management and storage and (5) electronic record-keeping. NRC's "go-live" date for the CFS is October 2010. NRC intends to implement the Momentum® Acquisition Module to replace its legacy Acquisition system, Distributed Solutions, Inc.'s Automated Acquisition Management System (AAMS) 7. NRC plans to implement Momentum's acquisitions module in order to increase efficiency and streamline business processes. The Momentum Acquisitions module is a subset to the Momentum CFS. NRC intends to create and store procurement documentation on Commercial Contracts, Grants, Purchase Orders, Inter-Agency Agreements (IAAs), and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Laboratory Agreements using Momentum Acquisitions module. The system shall successfully interface with Central Contractor Registration (CCR), Federal Procurement Data System - Next Generation (FPDS-NG) and other external systems. The system shall also allow for, but not be limited to, the following functionality: • Electronic approvals • Electronic routing • Task distribution and management • Creating and processing solicitations • Creating and processing awards (Contracts, IAAs, DOE Lab agreements, Task Orders/Delivery Orders) at the itemized accounting and commodity line level • Contract closeouts • Rendering of applicable clauses (based on contract type and other criteria The purpose of this notice is to provide potential sources the opportunity to submit information regarding their capabilities for the NRC to consider so that NRC can make an informed decision regarding the acquisition strategy for the future procurement of the Momentum Acquisition module, to include configuration, implementation and hosting. In addition to hosting the acquisition module, hosting may also include the core financial system. Companies shall indicate if license renewals and, potentially, procurement of new NRC software licenses are also included. If your organization has the potential capacity to perform CGI authorized reseller/business partner support services for both (a) CGI Momentum software and (b) CGI Momentum software license renewals, your company is invited to submit a response to this notice by responding to the questions below. Submission of additional materials is discouraged. Additionally, since NRC cannot anticipate all of its future needs; NCR may identify a need for CGI software modules and functionality not reflected in this document. Questions for Respondents Please respond in writing to the questions below. 1. What size business is your company with respect to NAICS code 511210 (i.e. small or other than small)? If your company is a small business, what type of small business (i.e. small disadvantaged, woman, veteran, service-disabled veteran, 8(a), and HUBZone)? 2.
