- The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) (Agency) intends to make a non-competitive sole source award to Deloitte Consulting LLP (formally BearingPoint) to provide continuing expert functional and technical support services that are essential to maintaining the Agency's Financial Accounting Division's Integrated Program Accounting System (IPAS) as the Agency (FNS) and IPAS module transitions fully into the USDA Department-wide enterprise Financial Management Modernization Initiative (FMMI).

The Contractor has responsibility for providing life-cycle maintenance, technical, financial management operational and IPAS transitional support. USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) implemented IPAS in May 2001 based on the BearingPoint Performance Series client server software offered through the mandatory General Services Administration (GSA) Financial Management Systems Software (FMSS) Multiple Award Schedule. The Performance Series software supports all aspects of Federal financial management operations for all FNS-wide food programs by integrating all federal funds management and accounting requirements with our reporting and performance measuring requirements. Deloitte still maintains title to the Performance Series software. FNS only acquired use of the software through its award under the FMSS schedule, an encumbered lease that provided no property rights or interest in the software. Access to technical support or expertise for the Performance Series software is very limited and is only available through contract with Deloitte Consulting LLP. Qualified firms meeting all the below requirements shall respond not later than April 22, 2014 via email to David.Lum@fns.usda.gov. - Must have expert knowledgeable of and have detailed Federal financial accounting system expertise working with the Deloitte (formerly BearingPoint) Performance Series software to maintain its compliance federal financial management requirements - Must have prior experience providing system maintenance and operational support explicitly with the Performance Series software - Must have Oracle database experience specifically related to the Performance Series software. - Must have prior Federal financial accounting management and accounting experience that supports the use of the Performance Series software - Must have acquired ownership or property rights to the software code and documentation
