The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Farm Service Agency (FSA) is issuing this Sources Sought to conduct market survey to determine the availability and potential technical capability of small business firms interested in performing the work described herein. The applicable NAICS code is 561439. Interested firms are invited to submit a written capabilities statement. FSA is also inviting firms to submit assessments/observations of the draft Statement of Work and its draft pricing schedule. After completing an analysis of the responses, the Government will determine whether to limit competition to small business firms or to proceed with issuing an unrestricted solicitation, inviting full and open competition. The scope of work includes providing technical support and maintenance services to FSA?s Electronic Distribution System (EDS) sites across the United States to sustain printing and production operations. Technical support personnel shall have total understanding of printing systems from document origination, storage, transportation, manipulation, and final output production. EDS technology, delivers quality printed products to nationwide customers by providing high quality, timely, and dependable service. Currently, FSA operates EDS production centers in 35 locations within in 33 states and Washington DC to generate and distribute Federal Farm Program information via the Internet, email and hard copy throughout the United States. All 35 EDS sites download, store, assemble, and print documents daily, keeping County and State Office information current with Federal regulations and laws. EDS sites also archive information for reference and easy retrieval. State and County Offices submit work requests to the EDS locations for a wide variety of information available through the FSA. Jobs range from PDF documents to most MS Windows XP or newer version based software format or print file. This work accounts for a large majority of the information processed at the EDS locations. EDS is expanding the relationship among other Federal Offices, not only to draw in more work but also to alleviate County and State Office workloads resulting from staff reduction and budget cuts. These job streams vary greatly as there are no set job-submission standards for State or County Offices. Firms who have the experience, as well as an interest in doing business with USDA, FDS should submit a capabilities statement regarding the company?s ability to demonstrate their expertise and experience in relation to the scope of work.
