Fresh Squeezed Daily: $60M+ DHS OCIO Federal Financial Management System (FFMS) support opp

A research request was recently provided to OS AI from a larger 8(a) certified small business IT services provider and 8(a) STARS III Prime looking for details related to a potential FY 2023 recompete of this Department of Homeland Security Operations and Maintenance support contract which is set to be competed as a small business set-aside action in the near future.  

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.  

Competitive Details (as known) related to the predecessor contract: 

  • Funding Agency: Department of Homeland Security / U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement 
  • Incumbent: Savantage  Solutions 
  • Contract Vehicle: This was last awarded using GSA FSS as “only one source” in 2020  
  • Expected Competition Date: Fiscal Year 2023 – date tbd  
  • OS AI Note: The latest DHS forecast identifies a planned release date of October 1, 2023 with the expectation that this will be competed as a small business set-aside on GSA MAS.  
  • Contract Details and Spend to Date for Award ID 70CTD021FR0000019 

Scope: The focus of the predecessor contract was to provide “mission-critical Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Support Services for the financial system of record for six (6) DHS components including; United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Science and Technology (S&T), National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD), Office of Health Affairs (OHA), Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and OHS Management (MGMT).” 

The forecast states that for the next iteration of this contract, the “contractor shall provide technical services to support the continuous and efficient operations of FFMS and O&M support services for ICE and its serviced components. The contractor shall collaborate with ICE/OCIO and OCFO to implement all agreed upon governance and other applicable processes to define the appropriate service level and other service requirements. The contractor shall provide development, testing, and implementation of new code into the FFMS codebase to resolve identified defects or to enhance the FFMS functionality. Tier III is the software technical team that shall provide support coverage for FFMS in investigating reported technical system-related issues.”
