Added: Aug 02, 2012 1:33 pm Modified: Sep 17, 2012 1:19 pmTrack Changes RECOVERY - THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION (SSA) FUNDED THIS PROPOSED ACTION BY THE RECOVERY ACT. THE AGENCY PROVIDES THIS NOTICE FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.

This opportunity is available only to SSA's existing Information Technology Support Services Contract (ITSSC) with Computer Science Corporation, LLC (known herein as ‘CSC'), of Lanham, MD, under Contract Number SS00-10-60107. SSA competed the ITSSC resulting in awards to four Contractors, including CSC. CSC's ITSSC represents Technical Areas 3, 6, and 9. For this requirement, SSA requires contractor support under Technical Area 9. Under Technical Area 9, CSC provides support (systems installation, configuration, updating, administration, maintenance, testing, troubleshooting, etc) on agency-owned servers based upon z/OS, UNIX, Windows, and WebSphere platforms.

SSA intends to issue a time-and-material-labor-hour(T&M)-type Task Order under the CSC ITSSC pursuant with the fair opportunity procedures of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Section 16.505. This Task Order includes several predominant work areas to support the agency's New Support Center (NSC), including:

• Providing SSA's Division of Mainframe Systems Software (DMSS) with mainframe support. The Contractor must rewrite in-house Batch Release Processing System (BRPS) server software to transfer the applications jobs to the agency's new Integration Production Processing Facility (IPPF) sysplex. The purpose of this work is to complete the agency's Systems Development Life Cycle and make it easily expandable to accommodate additional SYSPLEXs;

• Providing DMSS with technical support to migrate its OPS/MVS mainframe automation software package from a code written rules managed system to a more efficient database driven design;

• Installation and maintenance services for the z/OS Mainframe Operating System and all vendor system software products required to sustain the zOS Operating System;

• Providing DMSS with resources to install and maintain the multiple mainframe WebSphere Lifecycle environments, along with an application manager product required to monitor these different WebSphere environments;

• Technical support for the installation, configuration, monitoring, and daily administration of UNIX Solaris Software and Sun Oracle Hardware Infrastructure in support of the agency's server Performance Monitoring project; and

• Providing the Division of Internet/Intranet Application Services (DIIAS) with support for Windows Server Administration, including software/hardware maintenance, and interactions.

The agency anticipates that the Contractor will provide these services until the end of September 2013 under this Task Order.

This notice is for INFORMATION ONLY; Contractors should not respond.
