Army - Salary Compensation & Market Pricing Platform - MRAS

The General Services Administration (GSA), on behalf of the U.S. Army, is conducting market research to identify potential solutions for a comprehensive compensation and market pricing platform. The primary objective of this contract is to acquire a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) web-based platform that enables Department of War (DoW) Acquisition professionals to conduct detailed compensation analysis and geographic cost-of-living assessments. This initiative aims to streamline planning and market pricing processes from entry-level to executive positions, eliminating the need for disparate data sources.

The scope of work requires the contractor to provide continuous access to a robust suite of tools designed specifically for compensation planning and analysis. This includes maintaining an extensive database that covers a wide range of job roles across numerous industries globally, ensuring statistically significant benchmarking capabilities. The platform must offer comprehensive salary data, including employer-reported survey information with detailed job descriptions and reliability statistics. Additionally, it should facilitate executive compensation analysis by providing insights into total rewards packages and allow for peer benchmarking against user-defined groups.

Furthermore, the solution must include features that enable geographic wage tracking and cost-of-labor differential calculations across various domestic and international locations. Tools for comparing cost-of-living differentials among global cities are also essential. The platform should support integration with internal job titles and salary structures for effective benchmarking while ensuring secure access within government networks. Compliance with security standards such as FedRAMP certification is necessary due to hosting on secure Department of War systems.

In terms of licensing, the contractor must provide flexible models suitable for multiple government personnel accessing data securely within internal tools used by Army Contracting Command and other requiring activities. The contract will cover all aspects including licensing, hosting, maintenance, data updates, training support, consulting services related to compensation strategy or pay equity analysis if needed, while adhering strictly to data security protocols.
