- Description
- This Request for Information (RFI) is issued solely for informational and planning purposes and does not constitute an Invitation for Bids, Request for Proposal, or Request for Quotes. In accordance with FAR 15.202(e), responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Additionally, the U.S. Government will not provide reimbursement for any information that may be submitted in response to this RFI. Respondents are solely responsible for all expenses associated with responding to this RFI. Background US Customs and Border Protection's (CBP's) mission is to facilitate the legitimate flow of people and cargo into and out of this country while denying entry to persons or cargo that would be dangerous to this country or which for any of a number of reasons may be denied entry. CBP identifies persons who would pose a danger were they allowed entry in the United States (e.g., the individual was on the terrorist watch list, have a medical condition that would pose a threat to the US population, or have prohibited agricultural materials etc.) and collects tariffs and duties on imported goods. CBP is a front-line agency in the war on terrorism and collects more revenue than any US agency other than the Internal Revenue Service. As a part of the initiative to modernize its business process, IT systems, and infrastructure to provide the functionality necessary to support its mission, CBP has focused on the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) as a key Modernization system supporting the CBP Trade Compliance Mission. ACE consolidates or integrates with seven existing systems. The delivery of ACE capabilities enables CBP personnel and trade community users to electronically submit and retrieve trade date. Purpose and Objectives The ACE environment utilizes numerous software products to run its applications. The licenses outlined in Table #1 are utilized by CBP in its continual modernization of automated systems and information technology. Specifically, the licenses provide critical functionality to ACE applications. CBP is currently conducting market research for potential competitive acquisition of annual software maintenance for those applications. In the past, the software has been procured through a contract vehicle that is expiring during FY12. In an effort to reduce processing time and become more cost effective, CBP is looking to consolidate the procurement of these software licenses for FY12. One vendor is needed to provide brand name software and annual maintenance from multiple manufacturers. Table 1 lists each piece of software as it relates to CBP's needs.
