- Agency Background Information: The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is an independent Federal agency charged by Congress with investigating every civil aviation accident in the United States and significant accidents in the other modes of transportation -- railroad, highway, marine, and pipeline -- and issuing safety recommendations aimed at preventing future accidents. The NTSB has approximately 400 employees and is headquartered in Washington, D.C. In addition, NTSB has 10 regional offices throughout the country. To support its operations, NTSB has implemented an information technology (IT) infrastructure including network services, electronic mail, office automation, investigative databases, and various software applications. Objective: The National Transportation Safety Board is planning to award a contract for Software Portfolio Management with multiple functions and duties. This Sources Sought Notice (SS) is for informational and planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

These services include duties required to acquire and maintain software maintenance agreements for commercial-off-the-shelf software solutions in a multi-vendor, distributed network environment.

This includes vendor modifications, upgrades, and product improvements to existing software as required. AT THIS TIME, ONLY CAPABILITY STATEMENTS FROM SMALL BUSINESSES ARE BEING REQUESTED. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. Capability statements must specify the offeror's business size and type, and demonstrate similar work that has been performed in the past five years and the dollar value of that work.
