- Description
- This Request for Information is for planning purposes only and is being used solely as a market research tool to determine availability of potential sources capable of meeting a yet unfunded requirement, which is briefly described below. The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) is considering the possibility of contracting for services to assist the USITC’s Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) in providing to the USITC any and all viable possibilities that might be available to the agency for its current, on-site data center, located within the USITC in Washington, D.C. Overarching this yet unfunded requirement is the possibility of a physical reduced footprint for the agency. Primary considerations (among others) for the USITC’s data center include such areas as Space Optimization (Reduced Footprint and Physical Accessibility); Operational Optimization (Cooling and Power Consumption); Processing Optimization; Telecom Connection Redundancy; Emergency Power; Fire Suppression; Security; Relocation; Cloud Utilization; (and other relevant issues yet to be identified.) Any information/capability statement submitted in response to this RFI will be considered and treated as public information and should not include any pricing or proprietary information. This is for Market Research purposes only and is NOT a Request for Quotation (RFQ) or a Request for Proposal (RFP). Responses to this notice will not be accepted as offers. The Government will not provide reimbursement for information submitted. Interested parties responding to this Request for Information may provide a Statement of Capabilities or other relevant information which will address the following: · Past achievements/experience with regard to the considerations noted above; · How an analysis and any deliverables to the Government would be completed, outlining multiple alternatives, with alternatives that would address the benefits, costs, level of effort, risks and risk mitigators of multiple scenarios, ranging from single solution recommendations (cloud) to hybrid solutions. A reduced physical footprint should be considered a critical consideration and should be a component of all alternatives presented. In addition, responses should include the following information: Company Name and Address Point of Contact Name/Email/Phone DUNS Number and CAGE Code Website Address Organization’s Socio-economic Status (small business, woman owned, other than small, etc.) GSA Schedule Number, if applicable. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Interested organizations are invited to submit a response to this RFI, with the information requested above, on or before 5:00 p.m. E.T., Thursday, JULY 31, 2014. Please submit all documentation by email in PDF or WORD format to debra.bridge@usitc.gov and michael.pigram@usitc.gov. Please include in the subject line of the email REQUEST FOR INFORMATION –Data Center.
