- Description
- This is a notice of intent to award a Sole Source, firm-fixed price contract to Computech, Inc. 7735 Old Georgetown Road, 12th Floor Bethesda, Maryland 20814 for Database Stabilization Services. The IRS has a need for execution of the data strategy and development of data modeling analysis. The contractor will utilize the existing Integrated Production Model (IPM), which includes: creating the IPM in iterations with CADE2 serving as the first focus and integrating other sources later; optimizing the analytical model for EMC-Greenplum and Big Data Analytics and utilizing the current IPM data on EMC-Greenplum in order to formulate the first iteration of the analytical model. The IRS requires contractor support with detailed knowledge of how data technologies have been implemented throughout the various projects on an IRS Enterprise wide basis. Detailed planning, execution and implementation of the IRS Data Strategy migration, implementation, and support strategies must begin immediately and must be consistent with current strategy in order to meet timelines in advance of the CADE2 Transition State Two implementation. Computech possesses the unique combination of technical skills, familiarity of the IRS environments and hard to find specific service expertise. To utilize this vendor's expertise and maintain the continuity of operations for the IRS Data Strategy and associated efforts, it is required to use the services of Computech. The contractor has a long and proven track record with large scale CADE2 deployments within the Internal Revenue Service. The detailed embedded and direct support knowledge that Computech possess supporting IRS projects today is vital to the success of this initiative. Computech possesses the direct project specific knowledge to provide immediate and project specific support with detailed usage, processes, and implementation for these projects across the service that directly impacts the successful development and deployment schedules for these IRS projects. Computech also is the only vendor with the direct hands on knowledge of how the CADE2 and Data services and products are packaged, deployed, and implemented across the service and Computech resources are tightly integrated with existing IRS processes to insure that the CADE2 and Data Strategy initiatives are successfully implemented across the service and fully meet all IRS security requirements. Our support requires detailed knowledge of existing IRS CADE2 infrastructure/architecture, support services, best practices, maintenance, data repositories, and usage patterns at the IRS and the capacity and experience to immediately support the various IRS efforts. All of the planning, integration testing, and implementation efforts must begin immediately to follow an aggressive schedule and meet the required installation and cutover timeline and to avoid the filing season backlog period and moratoriums that occur each year. Implementation of the Data Strategy technologies across all projects in a consistent and cost effective manner is an extremely complex undertaking requiring an in depth understanding of the IRS infrastructure and Data Strategy models. Only Computech has the experience, knowledge, and understanding of how to deploy and support these technologies in an efficient and cost effective manner across the IRS without significant and unacceptable ramp-up or transition time to provide administrative level support at the IRS requires high risk full background investigations and it can take upwards of 12 full months to obtain a clearance at this level. Computech is uniquely qualified to perform these tasks and services for the IRS. Continued, seamless and uninterrupted support is imperative to the success of the IRS Data Strategy and related Modernization project as they impact other IRS projects. The justification for this sole-source is in accordance with the authority in 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1- Only one source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This notice of intent is not a request for proposals; however, interested parties may identify their interests and capability to respond to this requirement by 4:00 pm EST September 25, 2012. Responses must be sent to Paul Garner via email at Paul.V.Garner@irs.gov. Information received from this notice will be used solely to determine whether competitive procedures will be used.
