E-MAIL: Federal Computer Acquisition Center, jeanne.davis@gsa.gov. The Federal Computer Acquisition Center (FEDCAC) plans to acquire Seat Management services for management, operation, and maintenance of the desktop computer and its associated network infrastructure. These services will be provided to Government agencies as a unified service. The services include the entire suite of hardware, COTS software, connectivity, and support services required to support general purpose, scientific and engineering, or mixed desktop computing environments. To accomplish this, the prime contractor and its subcontractors must collectively be capable of providing asset management, infrastructure management, user support, installation, maintenance, training, and design. The Government desires to acquire these services as a utility and intends to pay for them on a per "seat" basis. The Seat Management Contract will be a Government-wide, multiple award, non-mandatory, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract. Individual Task Orders will be issued against the ID/IQ contract to service client agencies. It is anticipated that one of the multiple award contracts will be awarded to small business. A second Draft Request For Proposal (DRFP) is expected to be released on or about August 29, 1997. Industry comments/questions are being solicited. DRFP comments are due on September 12, 1997. Questions/comments may be submitted via the FEDCAC Home Page. In order to be included on the Source Mailing List (SML), qualified firms are required to complete SML information found on the FEDCAC Home Page. Sources responding to this notice shall indicate whether they are a large, small, disadvantaged or woman-owned business. For this synopsis a business concern is considered small if its average annual receipts for its preceding three (3) fiscal years do not exceed $18 Million dollars. The Standard Industry Code (SIC) for this acquisition is TBD. The Government will not distribute printed copies of the Draft RFP. It will be made available to industry through the Internet on the GSA/FEDCAC Home Page at http://www.gsa.gov/fedcac. Help for the FEDCAC Home Page is available by calling Susan Coppola of FEDCAC at 617/860-7131. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes only. It is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government and the Government will not pay for any information provided by vendors. (0240)
