D -- Examiner Work Stations

The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with CGI/AMS for enhancements to the services currently being provided under an existing contract(Examiner Work Stations or “X-Works”, contract OFHEO-2005-01C). This synopsis is required because the anticipated change is outside the scope of the existing contract (estimated costs exceed 25% of the total contract ceiling). The enhancements include: 1) establishment of “team zones” for staff in each subject matter area, corresponding to the risk areas (credit risk, model risk), or programmatic subject matter (capital, research); 2) the ability for each user to customize a portal page to enhance employee productivity; 3) add functionality and streamline processes (risk structure changes, document types, MRA JSP, etc.); 4) assessment of the current architecture; 5) include functionality to organize and display schedules for supervisory activities; and 6) extend the current on-site support staff. The contractor is required to review each option and price the options using a cafeteria pricing structure. CGI/AMS is the only contractor with the expertise to provide these enhancements in a time effective manner, has the current expertise, and at a cost that is reasonable to the effort required.
