- Description
- The Office of Federal Student Aid (FSA) of the Department of Education intends to award a one (1) year sole source contract with a one (1) year option at the discretion of the government. The contractor is Accenture. This contract will fulfill the requirements for requirements analysis, development, testing, operations, maintenance, technical support, and documentation in support of the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system. COD supports the origination and disbursement of funds for the Pell Grant and Direct Loans programs to post-secondary schools and students. FSA believes that Accenture is the only source possessing the necessary existing information, resources, and expertise to meet the program requirements within the time required by FSA. As a result of a competitive procurement, FSA recently awarded a contract for the integration of COD into a new financial aid delivery system referred to as the Front End Integration (FEBI) system; reference website http://febi.ed.gov/library.htm for more information on COD and how it relates to FEBI. On the referenced website, scroll down until you see the Section titled "ORIGINATION AND DISBURSEMENT" and the paragraph that follows titled "Common Origination and Disbursement System Documentation." The contract that FSA intends to award to Accenture is necessary to continue services for COD until the new FEBI system is in production. See Numbered Note 22.
