- Description
- At the request of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") Office of Managing Director ("OMD"), and to ensure wide exposure of the Universal Service Administrative Company's ("USAC") solicitations, the FCC is alerting the public that USAC has posted on its website, a Request For Proposals ("RFP") from organizations to perform an assessment of the USAC Information Services (IS) division’s organizational design, responsibilities, resources, and capabilities. The RFP is available electronically at http://www.usac.org/about/tools/procurement. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Proposals are being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. No additional notification will be issued by the FCC. ALL COMMUNICATIONS IN REFERENCE TO THESE OPPORTUNITIES SHALL BE THROUGH USAC'S Contracting Office. The RFP describes the services requested and provides instructions on how to respond. --- BACKGROUND: USAC is a not-for-profit Delaware corporation. The FCC has appointed USAC as the permanent administrator of the Universal Service Fund ("USF") and the universal service support mechanisms ("Support Mechanisms"): High Cost ("HC"), Low Income ("LI"), Rural Health Care ("RHC") and Schools & Libraries ("SL") as set forth in Title 47, Part 54, Section 701 of the Code of Federal Regulations. As part of its administrative function, USAC performs, subject to FCC oversight, the billing, collection, and disbursement functions associated with the USF and the Support Mechanisms. Additional information concerning USAC and its administration of the USF and Support Mechanisms can be obtained from USAC's website located at: www.usac.org. USAC manages large-scale operations – currently employing more than 350 professionals at outsourced contractors and 240 employees. In 2008, USAC collected and disbursed over $7 billion in support of over 20,000 stakeholders comprising of telecommunications companies, schools, libraries, rural health care providers, and low income consumers. Such an operation relies heavily on its information technology resources. The last five years have been a transformational period for USAC’s business operations and thus a strategic assessment will allow USAC to further leverage its IS organization to achieve business goals and performance. All proposals submitted in compliance with the instructions and requirements of the RFP will be evaluated. USAC expects to award a contract to the selected Contractor no later than January 15, 2010 to perform the functions identified in the RFP.

THE CONTRACT AWARDED AS A RESULT OF THIS RFP WILL NOT BE A SUBCONTRACT UNDER A FEDERAL PRIME CONTRACT TO USAC. Complete proposals must be submitted to Mr. Jay Beard, USAC Senior Manager Purchasing, USAC Contracting Office, no later than the date and time set forth in the RFP. Proposals must be submitted by mail, courier or hand delivered to: Universal Service Administrative Company Attn: Mr. Jay Beard, 2000 L Street, NW, Suite 200. Washington, DC 20036.
