About this file
This document is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Department of the Interior (DOI) Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR) seeking information from industry to assist with planning and developing an acquisition strategy for the modernization of ONRR's IT system environment.
The RFI provides background on ONRR's business process reengineering (BPR) efforts and intentions to pursue a holistic IT modernization solution. It requests vendors to complete a 45-page survey responding to questions about their experience, capabilities, and recommended approaches related to modernizing ONRR's systems, including integrating Salesforce, Snowflake, and a new financial management platform. Vendors are also given the option to provide a 15-page capability statement, advice, and considerations. The RFI indicates the Government may meet with a limited number of vendors to gather additional market information. The anticipated solicitation date is late 3rd quarter FY25, with an anticipated award in 4th quarter FY2026, though these dates are subject to change.
