Subj: Revised Request for Information (RFI) Response and Market Research Overview

On Friday, February 26, 2016 the Government issued a Market Research Overview including the anticipated acquisition strategy for the IROC project. That overview included using the GSA 8(a)

STARS II Government-wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) Functional Area 2, Constellation II under NAICS code: 541512. In doing so, the Government inadvertently excluded a number of interested parties that were identified during market research. The Government also determined from the market research that custom computer programming would be necessary along with the potential use of off the shelf technologies. A revision to the anticipated acquisition strategy is determined to be in the best interest of the Government.

The revised acquisition strategy for this project is as follows:

- GSA 8(a) STARS II GWAC, Functional Area 1, Constellation I, NAICS code: 541511

(Custom Computer Programming Services)

- Competitive standalone contract, one base period and four option periods - unchanged

- Anticipated IROC Acquisition Timeline (Attachment 1) - unchanged

This acquisition strategy information is provided for informational and planning purposes only.

Until the Government releases the solicitation this information is subject to change.

Questions related to this information or this acquisition can be address to the undersigned at icarr@fs.fed.us or (208) 387-5659.

Sincerely, IVORY CARR
