- Description
- Table 1 draft PWS This is a REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) 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 contemplates the award of an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract and is seeking sources for the continued integration and configuration of a Federal Identity, Credential, and Access Management (FICAM) and HSPD-12 compliant single sign-on (SSO) access control infrastructure for logical and physical access. This effort will include development of new FICAM compliant access infrastructure, configuration of existing integration points, developing new integrations with NARA's Physical Access Control Systems, and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) of the existing systems NARA had developed and the new systems NARA will develop under the prospective contract. 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 able to provide the skillsets and experience as outlined in Table 1. In response to this RFI, in addition to a capability statement, please provide a filled in version of Table 1 indicating your experience with each requirement. 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). NARA's current deployment has been integrated with the GSA MSO. The cards will be used to provide the authentication and authorization necessary to gain access to physical buildings, floors, and rooms as well as the network, applications, and other computing systems. Furthermore, NARA's current Human Resources Systems Shared Services Provider is the Human Resources Directorate of the Interior Business Center (IBC). The IDMS would need to be further integrated with that system. 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. The standards for these systems dictate that the prospective contractor must have specific experience and expertise in FICAM deployments within the Federal Government.
