- Description
- The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) intends to contract using other than full and open competition for Performance Accountability and Standards System (PASS) services. Accordingly, the TSA intends to award a bridge contract to Accenture, LLP, located at 11951 Freedom Drive, Reston, VA 20190, for a base period of performance of July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013 with a six (6) month option. The bridge contract will address the requirements of the TSA Office of Human Capital, PASS Program Office to annually certify that Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) performing screening functions are technically proficient and capable to perform job functions for the TSA workforce throughout the U.S. and its territories. This requirement is for the temporary continuation of critical human capital systems application services provided by Accenture to the PASS program. The services are required to maintain agency compliance with the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA). The Accenture PASS Online services include the configuration management, capture, storage, calculation, presentation, transfer and reporting of all annual PASS performance data in a highly customized environment. The PASS Online system measures employee performance metrics in the following components: Technical Proficiency, Competencies, Management Proficiencies, Supervisory Accountability, Collateral Duties, Readiness-for-Duty, and Training and Career Development during each annual review cycle. The PASS Online system is the single repository of information used to analyze employee performance evaluation information and ultimately establishes performance-based payouts for 45,000 eligible security officers and managers. Requirements include a database for storing and managing data, a secure web-based application system and a help desk for technical support. The Database and system application are certified and accredited by TSA and meet all DHS Enterprise Architecture requirements. The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source in accordance with the authority of FAR 6.302-1. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, vendors may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement by submitting a capability statement. All responses received within thirty (30) calendar days of publication of this synopsis will be reviewed by the Government and the vendor will be notified of the results. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Interested vendors who may wish to seek subcontracting opportunities should contact the above named company directly. All interested vendors may submit their capability statements to the TSA Office of Acquisition (OA). Submissions shall not exceed ten (10) pages in length.
