E-MAIL: Federal Computer Acquisition Center, mary.doherty@gsa.gov. GSA's Office of Information Technology Integration plans to acquire seat management services. The Seat Management contract is intended to afford Government agencies a new way of acquiring desktop computing services to support general purpose, and scientific and engineering environments. Under the Seat Management concept, the Government will acquire integrated services and the required components to include (1) desktop computers, servers, and associated peripherals, (2) local area and wide area network capabilities, (3) commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software, (4) help desk services, (5) maintenance, and (6) training. The Contractor will provide the assets needed to provide Seat Management services and will remain the owner of all assets provided. The Government intends to acquire desktop computing services and support as a utility and pay for them on a per "seat" basis in an integrated fashion from a single source. The Seat Management contract is a 10 year, Governmentwide, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ), multiple award contract. It is anticipated that at least one of the multiple awards will be made to a small business concern. Task orders for client specific requirements will be competed under the master contract. The RFP will be issued on about October 1, 1997. The Standard Industry Code for this acquisition is 4813. For this acquisition, a business concern is deemed to be a small business when it has no more than 1500 employees. The Government will not distribute printed copies of the 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 781-860-7131. (0268)
