It is the intent of the government to solicit and award these consulting and training requirements to PeopleSoft Federal, 6903 Rockledge Drive, Suite 110, Bethesda, MD 20817. PeopleSoft is the developer of the software and the sole possessor of the proprietary rights to source code which will enable them to modify the software to EPA's unique systems requirements. This will include providing support services in the areas of data mapping the bidirectional interface between PeopleSoft and EPAYS (the Agency's payroll system), re-engineering business processes, and the implementation of Phases I-III of the system. PeopleSoft's comprehensive training package provides for hands-on experience for users and is designed to equip individuals with the essential preparatory functional and technical skills that are required to perform their specified tasks by project roles. Training will be required for Phase I -- Phase III of the project development effort.
