D -- Additional services under Examiner Workstation

The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with CGI Federal, Inc. for additional services which are currently being provided under an existing contract (Examiner Workstation or "xWorks", Contract OFHEO-2005-01C). xWorks is based on Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) technology that has been customized as necessary to meet and provide the business process functional requirements and needs of OFHEO. It automates the preparation, review, centralized storage, and retrieval of documentation generated by and associated with OFHEO's supervisory process of the two Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs)--the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). This synopsis is required because the additional services are outside the scope of the existing contract based on the current dollar value of the contract. However, the additional services are required because OFHEO has ongoing requirements while working on recompeting the current contract and there needs to be an allowance for a transition period if the successor should be a new contractor. The additional services include: 1) streamlining the process of using OFHEO's software tool, MKS, for configuration management; 2) updating some of the existing documentation and tutorials to capture the most recent changes to the system; 3) assessing the portal views to identify any changes to the current vision; 4) assessing the functionality to identify any changes to the current vision; and 5) earned value management on the aforementioned work. CGI Federal, Inc. is the only contractor with the expertise to provide these services in a time-effective manner, has the current expertise on the existing system, and at a cost that is reasonable to the effort required. NO SOLICITATION OR REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS (RFQ) IS AVAILABLE. Notwithstanding, any firm that believes it is capable of satisfying OFHEO's requirements may submit a written capabilities statement, which if received by the response date of this announcement, will be considered. Responses must be submitted in writing to Ms. Janice L. Uthe, Contracting Officer, at [email protected]. A determination not to compete the requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
