Alpha Inventory and Maintenance System Upgrade

The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking a contractor to upgrade its Alpha Inventory and Maintenance System for the National Reconditioning Center. The project involves converting an existing Oracle Forms and Reports-based system to a modern web-browser application with enhanced user interfaces and reporting capabilities. NOAA requires the conversion of approximately 350 Forms and 350 Reports programs, with work to be performed primarily at the contractor's facility and some on-site work at the National Logistics and Reconditioning Center in Grandview, Missouri. The agency is currently in a pre-solicitation phase and will evaluate potential contractors based on their capability to meet the system conversion requirements, with responses being considered solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Key submission deadlines include a response period from February 18, 2025, to March 4, 2025, with initial deliverables such as a project plan due within 10 business days of a post-award conference scheduled for June 12, 2025.

The contract does not currently have a small business set-aside designation, and there is no mention of an incumbent contractor. While NOAA has not disclosed a specific estimated contract value, the period of performance extends through June 1, 2028, suggesting a multi-year engagement. The project falls under the NAICS category 541519 for Other Computer Related Services and will require the contractor to provide all necessary development tools and computing systems for the conversion. Technical requirements include ensuring Section 508 compliance, developing a business continuity plan by September 2, 2025, and providing technical support for bug fixes for one year after project completion. The agency has expressed a preference for a hybrid cloud software solution and clarified that no specific cyber expertise for Authorization to Operate (ATO) coordination is required for this contract opportunity.
