RECOVERY - SSA's Systems Operational Support Services

RECOVERY - THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION (SSA) FUNDED THIS PROPOSED ACTION BY THE AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009 (PUB. L. 111-5) (RECOVERY ACT). THE AGENCY PROVIDES THIS NOTICE "FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY." This opportunity is only available to SSA's existing Systems Operational Support Services (SOSS) contractor, Koniag Services, Inc., of Chantilly VA, under Contract Number SS00-09-60009. The SSA issued a single-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract for a five year period (one year base period, and four oneyear option periods) to the contractor, who is recognized as an Alaskin Native Corporation, under the Small business Administration's 8(a) program. The SOSS contract supports SSA's Office of the Deputy Commissioner, Systems, by providing a contractor to support the maintenance and continuity of the Agency's technological and programmatic environment. Support covers the following areas: Mainframe Hardware, Local Area Network Engineering, Network Engineering, Facilities, Communications, Computer Operations, Computer Scheduling and Document Management Imaging. SSA anticipates issuing a labor-hour Task Order (i.e. 0036) to the contractor under the SOSS contract following the ordering procedures in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 16.505, and where supplemented by the Ordering procedures outlined in the basic contract. This Task Order, funded by the Recovery Act, allows for the contractor to support SSA's Second Support Center (SSC) by providing storage management support to manage the increasing number of complex interrelated Direct Access Storage Device (DASD) based and tape-based mainframe applications. This task requires expertise in mainframe storage management programming on database management systems and the ability to develop complex software to satisfy design objectives. In addition, this Task Order requires the ability to: (1) Analyze functional business applications and design specifications for functional activities; (2) Develop bloxk diagrams and logid flowcharts; (3) Translate detailed designs into computer software; (4) Develop and perform test/debug functions; and (5) Refine computer software to produce the required product.
