If the conditions at FAR 19.502-2(b) are met the contracting officer is required to set the acquisition aside for small business concerns. Accordingly, interested contractors having the skill, capabilities, and workload capacity to complete the described project (either through self-performance and/or the managing of subcontractors) are invited to provide their capability statements to the point of contact listed below.  All responses will be used to determine the appropriate acquisition strategy for a potential acquisition.

Other than small business are encouraged to express interest and submit capability statements as well.   

Contractors’ capabilities will be reviewed solely for the purpose of determining an appropriate acquisition strategy to include whether this prospective action is appropriate to be set-aside for the small business community or should proceed as an unrestricted full and open acquisition. Other than small businesses are encouraged to respond to this NOTICE to provide a greater context of current market capabilities. However, per the Federal Acquisition Regulations, preference will be given to the small business categories as listed above. In determining the acquisition strategy, the Government must ensure there is adequate competition among the potential pool of available contractors.

GENERAL SCOPE:

The third anticipated phase of support aims to create a new version of the AMLDB Web Application while simultaneously supporting the update of related AML GIS system components and processes. DMR expects this contract to increase the capabilities, usability, accessibility resiliency, and stability of the AMLDB application to meet these requirements.

The PWS outlines the relevant services needed to deliver the project deliverables. DMR’s strategic goals for the AMLDB application include developing the new version of the AMLDB Web Application to:

• Significantly reduce long-term O&M needs by a) upgrading application libraries such as Yup and Esri Maps SDK for JavaScript with LTS (long-term support) versions that includes strong community support; b) improving documentation; c) test scripts/plans to validate expected behaviors.
• Utilize preferred application code and design principles from the existing version of the AML Web Application codebase to expedite project development and delivery.
• Improving application security posture by reducing known security vulnerabilities that have been patched in newer versions of application software.
• Improving data architecture and application design to optimize data calls and application/server performance.
• Enhance application functionality to improve user data management, reporting, and operational capabilities incorporating 3D data viewing.
• Create new partner data sharing capabilities by developing new Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and data security mechanisms to enhance inter/intra-agency partnerships. 
• Meet DOC ETSD web accessibility standards to meet organizational policy and improve accessibility for DMR stakeholders.
• Improved documentation, test plan, and develop CD/CI scripts to improve, modernize, and automate DevSecOps workflows, reduce resource needs, and long-term support/usage.
• Utilize an agile software development methodology through the development activities.
