GSA AAS - FAS Acquisition and Ordering Systems (AOS) Support - MRAS

The General Services Administration (GSA), through its Assisted Acquisition Services (AAS), is conducting market research to gather information related to IT support services for the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) and other portfolios within GSA. The Office of Acquisition Information Technology plays a pivotal role in developing and maintaining applications that are crucial for acquisition and ordering functions across various GSA offices. These applications are essential not only for daily operations but also for achieving organizational goals and supporting future growth.

The Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) is committed to enhancing efficiency and reducing costs for government agencies and the American public. It offers a wide range of products, services, and solutions at competitive prices, covering areas such as procurement tools, motor vehicle management, transportation, technology, and travel. The FAS IT organization is structured into several divisions that focus on managed services systems, acquisition systems, e-commerce platforms, cloud integration services, contract lifecycle systems, market research services, assisted acquisition systems, and supply order management systems.

In this solicitation request for information (RFI), GSA seeks responses from vendors capable of providing comprehensive IT support across these diverse service areas. Specifically, the work involves managing multi-database technologies like Oracle and MySQL; supporting both legacy data center applications alongside modern cloud-based solutions; optimizing database performance; implementing security controls compliant with federal standards such as FISMA; facilitating cloud migrations to platforms like AWS; utilizing infrastructure as code tools; and integrating DevOps methodologies with CI/CD processes in cloud environments.

Additionally, respondents are asked to complete a Cyber-Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM) Questionnaire designed to evaluate their risk management practices concerning supply chain threats. This includes assessing supplier risks related to foreign ownership or influence before entering contractual relationships and ensuring compliance with trade agreements. Vendors must demonstrate their ability to maintain robust cybersecurity measures across information systems while aligning their SCRM plans with NIST guidelines.
