- Description
- This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE not a pre-solicitation notice or solicitation for proposals/quotations. Pursuant to FAR Part 10 (Market Research), the purpose of this notice is to determine if sources capable of satisfying the agency's requirements exist. Pursuant to FAR Part 6 and FAR Part 19, competition and set-aside decisions may be based on the results of this market research. The Government will use this information to determine the best acquisition strategy for this procurement. This notice in no way obligates the Government to any further action. This notice is issued by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), College Park, MD to identify sources capable of providing the following: REQUIREMENTS: NARA is seeking sources for the implementation of a previously developed plan to integrate and configure a Federal Identity, Credential, and Access Management (FICAM) and HSPD-12 compliant single single sign-on (SSO) access control infrastructure for logical and physical access. The NARA network infrastructure includes an enterprise Identity Management System (IDMS) that provides a unified account management function for multiple systems. The current IDMS is based on NetIQ Identity Manager and is designed to provide authentication to eDirectory and Active Directory, and other Lightweight Directory Application Protocol (LDAP) compliant infrastructures within NARA's network environment. Therefore, the prospective contractor must be a certified NetIQ and Novell partner. Currently, HSPD-12-compliant PIV cards have been issued to NARA employees, through the US Access, Managed Shared Service Offering (MSO) administered by the General Services Administration (GSA). Furthermore, NARA's current Human Resources Systems Shared Services Provider is the Human Resources Directorate of the Interior Business Center (IBC). The cards may be used to provide the authentication and authorization necessary to gain access to physical buildings, floors, and rooms as well as computers, applications and other computing systems. They are currently used for logical access by participants in the pilot project only. However, they have not yet been used for logical access to NARA information systems by all NARA end-users. The prospective contractor would be tasked with all aspects of the effort including the project management, technical, functional, and quality control activities at the level needed for the successful completion of this project. SUBMISSION OF INFORMATION: Companies having capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements are invited to provide information to contribute to this market survey/sources sought notice including commercial market information and company information.
