A research request was recently provided to OS AI from a mid-tier IT consulting firm looking for details related to the competition for this 5-year General Services Administration Requirement to support GSA’s existing applications on the Salesforce, Mulesoft, DocuSign and Alfresco platforms as well as potential future requirements, as required, on other Cloud-based platforms (e.g. Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS).
We at OrangeSlices AI do believe in the need for more and better-informed competition, so provided below are 1) opportunity details provided by the requestor; 2) some key points of contact; 3) related pursuit/capture data; and 4) when possible, projected odds of this contract going back to the incumbent.
The Ask: We are not a Prime on Alliant 2 and we are seeking a list of the top partner options who may be in play for this bid, and any additional information you can provide. It is our understanding that Capgemini may be an incumbent on at least a portion of this. The scope of the “GSA IT Operations and Maintenance and Development Support Services RFQ” includes providing “services to support GSA’s existing applications on the Salesforce, Mulesoft, DocuSign and Alfresco platforms as well as potential future requirements, as required, on other Cloud-based platforms (e.g. Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and to continue implementation of selected industry best practices and collaborative technologies to maintain existing functionality and usability of the GSA application infrastructure and environment.”
