About this opportunity
The USDA Office of the Chief Financial Officer intends to procure an Integrated Utilities and Telecommunications Expense Management (UTEM) and invoice processing managed services platform, with a Request for Information due May 27, 2026. This is market research only; no contract will be awarded from RFI responses, and the Government will not reimburse response costs.
The requirement is set-aside for Total Small Business. Work is performed across 500 site locations in the continental U.S. and territories, supporting approximately 14,000 utility accounts and 6,000 telecommunications accounts. The platform must deliver integrated services across utilities expense management and data (invoice processing, payment, federal reporting for Annual Energy Data Report and Executive Order 14057 compliance, and configurable conservation dashboards) and telecommunications expense and inventory management (invoice intake, consolidated inventory control, cost allocation by agency hierarchy and vendor, and business intelligence capabilities). The solution must operate for 3 years and integrate with USDA's Financial Management Modernization Initiative system via automated SFTP, support multiple authentication methods (RADIUS, LDAP, token-based, PKI, X.509 certificates), and provide role-based access control aligned to USDA organizational hierarchy.
All systems must comply with FISMA, Privacy Act of 1974, E-Government Act of 2002, NIST FIPS and 800-series publications, OMB memoranda, USDA cybersecurity regulations (3500-3599), and Section 508 accessibility requirements. The Government prefers vendors who are not direct telecommunications or utility service providers; federal experience is preferred. Responses are submitted via Microsoft Forms (https://forms.cloud.microsoft.com/g/NFds0qbaJi).
