Kenexa, the original manufacturer and current software as a service provider of the VDS, is the sole entity with the current and historical knowledge of the design, development, and execution of the baseline code which established the VDS. Peace Corps VDS utilizes a suite of Kenexa software components for its volunteer application process. The required modifications to the VDS will result in reconfigurations to one or more of these Kenexa components. Kenexa is the only entity which has trained staff with the ability to make the required engineering changes to this proprietary software and support the system modifications in the current production environment without substantial duplication of cost to the Government and unacceptable delays. The NAICS code for this procurement is: 518210, "Data processing, hosting, and related services". This Notice of Intent is not a request for proposals.
