This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products or commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6, “Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items,” as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

Description:

The Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC) requires the implementation services necessary to configure the Defense Language Defense Language Proficiency Test (DLPT) system into an Automatic Test Assembly (ATA) platform. The platform would require incorporating DLPT test specifications with the features and functionality of the FICO Xpress Optimizer and Xpress Insight software packages. The goal of the ATA initiative is to transform the manual assembly of test forms into automatic generation of test forms using predetermined parameters derived from DLPT test development specifications. DLIFLC requires one (1) Class 3 Server License of FICO Xpress Optimizer, which includes FICO Xpress Mosel programming language. Xpress Optimizer is the programming component of a suite of software that uses FICO Xpress Insight software as the user interface to “call upon” Xpress Optimizer for modeling solutions and calculations. Xpress Optimizer will be used in tandem with the user interface, desktop application, Xpress Insight, for the automatic test assembly of the Defense Language Proficiency Test meeting written test specifications. DLIFLC requires ten (10) licenses of FICO Xpress Insight as the user interface component of the FICO suite of software. Xpress Insight calls upon Xpress Optimizer for analytical functions and solutions, and in the context of the Defense Language Proficiency Test, would allow for the automatic test assembly of test forms that meet test construction specifications.

Xpress Insight 5 is the technology component of Xpress Optimization that allows you to rapidly configure business applications to operationalize your analytic and optimization models. It provides a Compute capability that enables remote execution of Xpress Solver and Xpress Mosel. It is built on an industry-standard architecture that is scalable, secure and resilient.

The work to be performed under this contract shall be performed at a government facility at the Presidio of Monterey, California.
