Architecture & Design Support Services Statement of Objectives
Introduction
The Architecture and Design Section (ADS) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Chief Information Officer Organization (CIOO) is responsible for directing the process of acquiring, building, modifying, and interfacing IT resources throughout the FDIC enterprise—in short, IT architecture and design. In addition, the ADS is responsible for identifying and articulating the need for change in how FDIC invests in IT at present and in the coming years, as well as facilitating that change. The ADS also provides other enterprise architecture services to the Corporation such as:
defining the current state and future/target state architectures;
developing strategy;
conducting analysis and research; and providing governance to achieve the target state.
FDIC is undergoing a comprehensive effort to maximize and modernize its architecture and business analysis practices under a new model of continuous service delivery. The ADS is accountable for a multitude of capabilities and services that support this transition and the operations of the Corporation. The ADS’ mission is to prepare the FDIC for the future by developing and managing architectural targets and standards as well as informing IT investment decisions. In support of this mission, the ADS is seeking a Contractor to assist and provide support to the FDIC in maintaining, maturing, and accelerating its ability to effectively and efficiently deliver architecture design, strategy, research and analysis, and governance services to FDIC customers.
The purpose of this Statement of Objectives (SOO) is to describe the services and solutions that would bring value to the ADS and the Corporation through lean, innovative, efficient, and effective solutions, while leveraging agile methodologies.
Scope
The scope of this contract includes all services required to support the Architecture and Design Section. This engagement will support the ADS in its support for all Divisions/Offices within the FDIC.
The Contractor shall provide cross-functional teams that will be part of a community of federal employees and additional Contractor staff across the organization. The team will frequently, cost-effectively, and responsively deliver business value with expert enterprise architecture, strategic planning, cloud cost management, and business analysis services. The Contractor shall be responsible for supporting all elements within enterprise architecture including but not limited to:
architecture governance architecture framework development and maintenance architecture methodology architecture artifacts architecture standards architecture analysis architecture best practices, and
Section C - Description/Specifications/Work Statement PAGE 8 OF 87 defining and tracking transitions from the current to the future state.
The Contractor shall be responsible for supporting all functions within the ADS including but not limited to:
developing and maintaining IT/business roadmaps conducting business analysis analyzing/prototyping emerging technology maintaining the FDIC Technical Reference Model (TRM) cloud cost management platform architecture support for Low Code No Code cloud platforms maintaining enterprise architecture tool(s), and managing business application inventory.
The Contractor shall provide best-practice Agile and Product Management methodologies to support the continuous improvement of ADS’ operation. The Contractor shall also contribute to evolving architecture standards at the FDIC and share lessons learned with other stakeholders.
The Contractor and the FDIC shall work in coordination to develop and maintain a backlog of work items for ADS support. The FDIC is responsible for establishing priority for backlog items with input from the Contractor and may also restructure the backlog according to changing business needs. As new work is introduced to the backlog, priorities may change.
Therefore, the Contractor may be required to reorganize teams in order to support emerging architecture needs. This could mean scaling teams up or down, shifting roles on teams, or reorganizing teams to meet the needs of the ADS portfolio. The adjustment of a team’s composition to keep pace with the evolving needs of the work occurs within the fixed-price model of the team and will not require a contract modification.

Period and Place of Performance The period of performance of this contract shall not exceed 60 months, as shown in the table below.
Period Dates Base Period 1/1/2025 -12/31/2025 Option Period 1 1/1/2026 -12/31/2026 Option Period 2 1/1/2027 – 12/31/2027 Option Period 3 1/1/2028 – 12/31/2028 Option Period 4 1/1/2029 – 12/31/2029
Place of Performance
The Contractor shall determine places of performance for its team members; however, all places of performance shall be within the contiguous forty-eight US states. FDIC will not pay Contractor for travel in the event travel is required for onboarding activities such as fingerprinting, renewing PIV cards, etc.
Section C - Description/Specifications/Work Statement PAGE 12 OF 87
Contract Type
The Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) in this contract are Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) based on Agile Team size. The CLINs are listed below:
CLIN 1 – Team 1: 6 FTEs (FFP) Optional CLINs (FFP) o The purpose of these optional CLINs is to complete work that may require additional teams beyond those ordered in CLIN 1
Agile Team Size
The work on CLIN 1, and potentially on future optional CLINs, will be accomplished through Agile teams. The number of teams, and the size of any team, is specified in Section 8 above. This contract includes multiple options to give the FDIC flexibility for varying the number of teams and the size of any team as time passes. The team size will be stated in terms of full-time contractor staff. For example, a team size of seven might be satisfied by seven full-time contractor staff, or five full-time contractor staff and four half-time contractor staff. At no point in time shall any contractor staff be dedicated less than half-time to this contract.
A key aspect of this contract is that the Contractor will provide fully staffed cross-functional team(s) to accomplish the needed work. The Contractor’s inability to provide fully staffed cross-functional teams to accomplish the needed work will be a failure on the Contractor’s part, as the velocity and quality of the work is dependent on fully staffed cross-functional teams.
All full-time Contractor staff who are assigned to an Agile Team for any period of time under this contract shall not be used by the Contractor for any other work during that period of time. In other words, full-time Contractor staff working on this contract are expected to work only on this contract.
Contractor Staff Bench It is expected that the Contractor will have reach-back to a bench of Contractor staff who can act as substitutes for team members who may become unavailable or be brought on in the event a team’s size needs to be increased. The Contractor bench staff shall have a breadth of skills and experience sufficient for them to effectively pick up the work of substituted colleagues. The Contractor shall coordinate with the FDIC Oversight Manager and designated ADS Project/Program Managers for each team to ensure that Contractor bench staff are able to step in for absent team members on a same-day or next-day basis. Bench staff shall:
have been cleared by FDIC’s Security and Emergency Preparedness Section (SEPS);
have an unexpired FDIC PIV card;
have an FDIC laptop that is current with mandatory security and other patches;
have been provisioned for FDIC network access and other common services, including relevant SharePoint repositories, GitHub, Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS), ServiceNow, and other necessary development tools; and have been granted access to the development, quality assurance, and other environments used by the team(s).
Section C - Description/Specifications/Work Statement PAGE 13 OF 87
Contractor Staff Absences Notification of planned or unplanned absences, along with identification of bench staff to be substituted in, shall be provided to both the FDIC Oversight Manager and the designated Technical Monitor on a timely basis or as requested by the Oversight Manager. Additionally, for each team, the Contractor shall ensure that over the course of each Agile sprint FDIC receives in total the number of full-time staff hours it is entitled to based on the team size and the number of workdays in the sprint. The FDIC may excuse non-recurring, short-term absences of Contractor personnel provided the team’s performance, velocity, quality, or other expectations are satisfied. Should there be any extended or recurring unexplained absences, the vendor shall invoice at a reduced rate commensurate with the team size performing during the time.
Team LCAT Composition As the work progresses or evolves, the Contractor shall adjust its team composition as appropriate to the new needs and with the approval of the FDIC Oversight Manager. These adjustments occur within the fixed-price and fixed-size of the team, and do not require contract modifications. For example, a four-member team of three solution architects and one business analyst might evolve to two solution architects, 1.5 business analysts, and 0.5 agile coach.
Re-Sizing Teams within a Performance Period The FDIC anticipates awarding the base period and subsequent option periods with its best projection regarding team sizes. However, within a particular performance period the FDIC may resize a team for a different size for the remainder of that period using the pricing table in the contract, provided the FDIC gives reasonable notice to the Contractor. Here, reasonable means at least two months advance notice if done unilaterally by the FDIC, or any time if done bilaterally.
Temporary Loan of Team Members Between Teams In the event FDIC chooses to prioritize work of a particular team during a given sprint and deprioritize work on another team, the Parties may agree to request the Contractor to temporarily detail Contractor staff from one team to another team without a change in contract price and without a change in the price of either team. For example, the Parties may agree that one team temporarily increase by one full-time Contractor staff while another team correspondingly decreases by one full-time Contractor staff. Here, temporarily means less than two months. Such an agreement may be memorialized by email exchange between the FDIC Oversight Manager and the Contractor lead.
Conflict of Interest The services included in this contract are of a type that creates the possibility of organizational conflicts of interest. For example, the contractor may help to prepare specifications or work statements that the FDIC may use in upcoming procurements. In such a case, the contractor may be ineligible for prime contract or subcontract award in that procurement.

In the event Contractor fails promptly to reperform the services or redeliver the goods, or to take necessary steps to ensure future performance of the services or delivery of the goods in conformity with the requirements of the Award, the FDIC shall have the right to either (1) by contract or otherwise, have the services performed or the goods delivered in conformity with the contract requirements and charge to Contractor any cost occasioned to the FDIC that is directly related to the performance of such services or the delivery of such goods; or
(2) terminate this Award for default as provided in 7.6.6-02, Termination for Default.

In addition, the FDIC requires Contractors to maintain current information in the System for Award Management
(SAM) database and complete the annual renewal process, in order to receive timely invoice payments. FDIC may reject any invoice received from Contractor where processing of the invoice cannot be completed because

7.5.13-14 - Electronic Invoice Preparation and Submission (CORHQ Business Unit) -
November 2023 Contractor must follow the FDIC’s electronic invoice preparation and submission instructions stated below:
(a) Contractor must email electronic invoices to the FDIC’s Division of Finance/Accounts Payable (DOF/AP) at the following address: DOFAPInvoice@fdic.gov
(b) Contractor must only email their invoices to the above DOF/AP email address and not the Oversight Manager or
Contracting Officer. The FDIC will not accept hand-delivered invoices or invoices sent to any other address (i.e., FDIC street address or any other email addresses).
(c) Contractor must submit the electronic invoice as a single file document, in PDF or Excel (.xlsx) format. If the size of a single PDF/Excel file exceeds 30 MB, the invoice may either be submitted as two PDF/Excel files, with neither
PDF/Excel file exceeding 30 MB, or it may be submitted as a zip file that does not exceed 30 MB. If two PDF/Excel files are used, each email must clearly identify that the invoice has been separated into two PDF/Excel files to accommodate the size limitation. If a zip file is used, the individual files inside the zip file must be kept to a minimum and each must have a descriptive file name, such as "Invoice cover page", "Timesheets", etc.)
If submitting in Excel, the following applies:
(1) The Excel file must be formatted in a manner acceptable to the Contracting Officer. The first tab or worksheet
(“Sheet”) in the Excel workbook must be the invoice itself, and subsequent tabs may be used for supporting information and calculations;
(2) The entire workbook (all tabs) must be formatted for printing in portrait format using letter-size pages, unless the Contracting Officer allows for landscape format and/or legal-size pages for one or more specified tabs;
(3) The entire workbook must allow for searching, sorting, filtering, and other data viewing options by FDIC personnel. All formulas in cells must be visible to FDIC personnel;
(4) Any unit price or hourly rate must be an exact amount as rounded and displayed in the contract schedule or pricing attachment, and all calculations using the unit price or hourly rate must use that exact displayed amount.
The Contractor must not use a unit price or hourly rate on an invoice that differs from the amount displayed in the contract. For example, if a unit price or hourly rate is displayed as $135.15 in the contract, all calculations in the workbook must be based on $135.15 (with no decimals beyond the cent), and must not be based on a pre-rounded amount from elsewhere in the Contractor’s systems; and
(5) Any cell containing a calculation or formula using dollar amounts must be rounded to two decimal places (no decimals beyond the cent). This rounding guideline must be applied to both intermediate and final calculations.
(d) Contractor must not include more than one electronic invoice in the same email. (For example, if a Contractor has four task orders, a separate email with a single invoice must be submitted for each of the four task orders.)
Section G - Contract Administration Data PAGE 19 OF 87
(e) Contractor must name the PDF/Excel file or zip file in the following format (with invoice date shown as year/month/date followed by a space and the invoice number):
Invoice date and invoice number (e.g., 2023-01-31 1067876)
(f) Contractor’s email subject line must include the words, “Contractor Invoice”, followed by a hyphen and the
Contract Number (or Task Order Number, or Delivery Order Number, as applicable), as shown in the example below:
"Contractor Invoice – CORHQ-23-C-0000"
(g) Task Assignments: For contracts and task orders containing provisions for Task Assignments, a separate invoice must be submitted via a separate email for each Task Assignment.
(h) The counting of days for Prompt Payment begins on the date the invoice is received in the inbox of the DOF/AP email address, until 4PM. Invoices received after 4PM will be counted as being received the following FDIC workday.
