About this opportunity
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is seeking IT vendor services to modernize retirement benefits and financial systems currently running on IBM Mainframe infrastructure. The agency aims to convert approximately 2,220 programs and 3.5 million lines of legacy code written in COBOL, NATURAL, JCL, FORTRAN, Assembler, and SAS to modern programming languages like Java, Python, and C#. The project will involve migrating legacy database management systems to Azure SQL and moving systems to OPM's Microsoft Azure Cloud environment. Vendors must respond to the Request for Information (RFI) by 10:00 am EST on January 13, 2025, using the provided Excel response template. The contract will be Time and Materials based, reflecting the innovative nature of the modernization work.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designations for small businesses or disadvantaged vendors. The period of performance will begin October 1, 2025, and consist of a base year with two potential option years. The project encompasses comprehensive code conversion, testing, documentation, knowledge transfer, and training for operations and maintenance staff. While specific award values are not disclosed, the complexity of converting 3.5 million lines of legacy code across multiple programming languages suggests a significant contract opportunity. The modernization effort will ultimately result in decommissioning the on-premises mainframe and transitioning to a cloud-based infrastructure, representing a substantial technological transformation for OPM's retirement and financial systems.
