About this opportunity
The Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), under the oversight of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), is seeking a Supply Chain Risk Management Tool through a Request for Information (RFI). Specifically, USAC is requesting proposals from US-based companies capable of providing a technological solution to manage supply chain risks. The RFI was posted on November 15, 2024, with responses due by December 16, 2024, at 11:00 AM ET, and can be accessed electronically through USAC's procurement website. While the full evaluation criteria are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, the primary focus appears to be on developing a robust tool for supply chain risk assessment and management. The solicitation is formally identified as number IT-24-169 and is being issued in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 13.
This RFI is not a traditional federal procurement, and the resulting contract will not be a subcontract under a federal prime contract. The opportunity is categorized under NAICS code 513210 for Software Publishers and PSC code 7F20 for IT Management Tools/Products. No specific set-aside designations are indicated, meaning the opportunity is open to all qualifying US-based companies. No incumbent contractor or specific budget range is mentioned in the pre-solicitation notice. The solicitation is being conducted by USAC, a not-for-profit Delaware corporation appointed by the FCC to administer the Universal Service Fund and its associated support mechanisms, including High Cost, Lifeline, Rural Health Care, and Schools & Libraries programs. All communications regarding this opportunity must be directed through USAC's Contracting Office.
