70 -- AUTOMATED CLASSIFICATION AND INTEGRATED PERSONNEL DOCUMENT SYSTEM SOFTWARE POC Jeanie Foster, Contracting Officer, (303) 969-7226 The Bureau of Reclamation, Denver Administrative Service Center (ASC) intends to procure additional Automated Classification and Integrated Personnel Document System software from Resource Management Software, Inc and obtain related support services, such as training of pertinent Government personnel, future module development, clustering personnel series into modules (iaw OPM guidelines), and conversion of existing series to a Windows based platform, during the anticipated three (3)years (1 base plus 2 option years) of the contract life. This software must be fully compatible with existing ProClass Plus software and will interact with the Federal Personnel/Payroll System (FPPS) currently being developed by the ASC. The ASC knows of only one product that can meet the following requirements: ProClass Plus provided by Resource Management Software, Inc., 9500 Front Street, Suite 210, Tacoma, Washington 98409. Therefore, the intent of this announcement is to determine if any other sources exist. No request for proposal is currently available. This software must be executable on an IBM- compatible personal computer (PC) platform. It must operate as both a native windows application under Microsoft Windows version 3.1 and later versions (not as a DOS application under windows) and as a DOS application using MS-DOS version 6.0 and later versions. The software shall run in both a stand alone mode and in a LAN file server mode. The software shall provide the following capabilities: 1) automated occupational and classification analysis, using artificial intelligence techniques against a knowledge base comprised of preestablished information about series-specific occupations; 2) automatic generation of the position description, evaluation statements and factors, crediting plan, Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSAs), and performance plan (critical results, elements and standards) for a specified position as a result of the automated classification process; 3) identification of inconsistencies found during the automated classification process and areas requiring additional review; 4) modificaton of generated documents using vendor supplied user-friendly word processing software; 5) electronic storage of completed documents so that they can be retrieved and operated on at a later time or at a different location; 6) creation and maintenance of a library of standard sets of completed documents, which can be used ''as is'' or modified as necessary; 7) security that ensures that users have access to only the processes and data which they are authorized to access. In addition, the following capabilities are required which will utilize the ASC mainframe platform (IBM MVS/ESA)(it is recognized that these capabilities will require customization of available software): 1) central storage of the system so that users can download to local platforms, the portions of the system required to perform a requested function locally; 2) central storage of the standard library of documents so that the documents are available for download through the provided software for use by users on local platforms; 3) temporary central storage of documents that must be passed electronically between users; 4) the automated procedures necessary to control the upload/download of software/information between the mainframe and the local platform based upon user request; 5) creation of a specified interface to the FPPS (which will reside on the mainframe platform); 6) acceptance and processing capability of a file interface from the FPPS for display to the user. The software shall allow the user to select a specific FPPS transaction for update and then pass the appropriate information back to the FPPS System for update. The software shall also provide the capability to link the performance management system to the production of awards that are SF52 based; 7) creation of a specified interface to the Automated Vacancy Announcement Distribution (AVADS) System and the automatic update of that system. It is believed that the aforementioned product, ProClass Plus, can be customized to meet these additional needs. However, should additional sources with the capability to provide a product which is fully compatible with ProClass Plus be identified, they will be considered. Interested concerns must respond within 45 days of the date of this notice and shall provide sufficient detail describing and substantiating how they can meet the above-listed requirements. This is not a formal solicitation; however, qualified concerns dentified by this notice will receive a copy of the solicitation when it becomes available. This synopsis may represent the only official notice of such a solicitation. Responses must be in writing, reference this notice, and shall be submitted to the above POC. Telephone responses will not be honored. See Note 22. (0349)
