VA requires experience in program management, project management, and business process reengineering specific to the HSPD-12/PIV environment. Given this enterprise-wide transformational change, business process and technical complexities, this initiative will require highly skilled resources with extensive demonstrated knowledge and expertise with HSPD-12/Personal Identity Verification (PIV). The NextGen PIV solution will need to align with current VA PIV, to include governance, architecture, procedures, as well as the current VA PIV operational entities across the VA enterprise. The vendor must have demonstrated knowledge of VA current s PIV operations, current as-is state, the VA PIV future-state, and VA enterprise structure. Specific tasks include: Strategic Planning, Program Startup, and Assisting with program planning. In September 2016, senior VA officials determined that VA will begin to transition to a Next Generation (NextGen) PIV solution, which will be a Federal shared services through the General Services Administration (GSA) USAccess Management Service Agreement. Due to a PKI certificate expiration issue, approximately 500,000 VA PIV cards issued by the current Card Management System (CMS) expire on or before August 6, 2018. This is an enterprise-wide crisis and VA must expedite the reissuance of PIV cards. In order to meet the 2018 reissuance goal, VA requires a contractor staff that can provide expertise in VA policies, advisories, directives and guidance for both the current CMS as well as USAccess. The contractor shall provide Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) who have demonstrated project management as well as technical HSPD-12 experience with VA s current CMS. This demonstrated experience will support activities associated with the enterprise-wide deployment of VA s NextGen PIV. SPECIFIC CRITERIA INCLUDES: Demonstrated experience and knowledge of VA s current PIV governance, the VA PIV as-is state, the VA PIV future state, VA PIV enterprise wide deployment and applications. Demonstrated experience with VA NextGen PIV solution development, planning, and implementation to rollout a hybrid approach of VA CMS and USAccess. Demonstrated experience with GSA USAccess as VA s NextGen PIV solution. Demonstrated experience conducting workforce and PIV card analysis using VA s CMS to include a correlation between VA s human resources databases and VA s Active Directory data. Demonstrated understanding of the over 200 VA PIV Issuance Facilities (PCIF) to plan for deployment of a NextGen solution to include detailed challenges/risks and complete contingency plans. Developing a governance structure and establish an Executive Steering Committee, an Integrated Project Team (IPT) structure, and associated Tiger Teams for the VA NextGen PIV solution. Providing administrative support for the IPT and Tiger Teams, including but not limited to developing and distributing meeting agendas, coordinating working group calendars and meeting invitations, coordinating contributions and feedback of work products, and facilitating collaboration and exchanging of ideas and meetings. It is requested that the contractors respond to the following questions: Provide a Technical Capabilities Statement not to exceed 20 pages detailing relevant experience/expertise and capability relevant to ALL above stated criteria (1-7). Detail your company s ability to meet the PIV issuance requirement within 45 days from contract award.
