About this opportunity
The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) National Organic Program (NOP) has issued a Special Notice to identify potential vendors capable of providing online web application and implementation services to support the organic accreditation and auditing of organic certifying agents and State Organic Programs. The NOP is exploring alternatives to its current accreditation system and is considering a web-based audit and certification management solution.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to conduct market research and gather information from interested vendors. The NOP requires that any proposed Software as a Service (SaaS) solution be in compliance with the FedRAMP cloud environment framework and be able to be deployed within the FedRAMP cloud environment. Interested vendors are invited to respond to the Request for Information (RFI) by April 30, 2024, providing their capability statements and proposed approaches to addressing the technical requirements outlined in the RFI. The government will use the results of this RFI for informational and planning purposes only and does not guarantee a subsequent solicitation or contract award.

If the product is a Software as a Service SaaS, AMS follows the guidelines in NIST SP 800-145 that define Web/SaaS for this acquisition as follows:
The solution shall provide the capability to the government to deploy onto the cloud infrastructure government-created or acquired applications created using programming languages, libraries, services, and tools supported by the provider. This capability does not necessarily preclude the use of compatible programming languages, libraries, services, and tools from other sources. The Government may or may not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems, or storage, but does have control over the deployed applications and possibly configuration settings for the application-hosting environment.
AMS requires that SaaS products are in compliance with the FedRAMP cloud environment framework and are able to be deployed within the FedRAMP cloud environment.
