GSA RFP: Unified User Interface (UUI)

Notice ID: 47PM0024R0003

In order to improve asset management, increase operational efficiencies, and reduce energy waste, the General Services Administration (GSA), in support of the Public
Buildings Service, Office of Facility Management (OFM), is seeking a Unified User Interface (UUI) solution to integrate, converge, and view data from various operational
technologies (OT) for remote control and monitoring of facility equipment and systems.

Traditionally, various building OT systems (e.g. access control, building automation system (BAS), lighting, computerized maintenance management system (CMMS),
energy management, metering, etc.) have been siloed from each other. GSA is seeking to unify aspects of these building OT systems by integrating them to a centralized
platform to orchestrate integrated sequences of operation (ISOO).
ISOOs allow data in one system or platform to permit an action to occur in another. This Use Case is to develop a platform that pulls the data from the disparate OT systems
and enterprise solutions, improving the ease with which facility members are able to access information and make data-driven decisions. The integration and convergence
of various systems and ISOOs improves the efficiency and experience of the building. A UUI will be implemented for the monitoring, supervision, and OT control from a
centralized location without a dependency on the end user knowing the disparate system(s) nuances.
Example Capabilities:
● Allow technicians to train on a singular building management and control
graphics platform
● Act as an orchestration engine between disparate OT systems
● Streamline the most important and influential insights from various operational and enterprise solutions into one platform.
● Preference will be placed on a UUI solution that will enable users with elevated

rights to independently self-configure reports, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), trends, graphics, etc. without the need for additional custom programming or
heavy involvement or licensing requirements from the vendor or provider.
The purpose of this work is to install and construct IRA-funded emerging and sustainable technology (E&ST) scope items. IRA-funded E&ST scope items shall be
constructed, installed, and certified as complete and operable.

The contractor shall provide an on-premise, government site-hosted, enterprise-wide unified user interface solution for operational technologies and all support for the configuration, implementation, operation, maintenance and performance of the solution.

The solution should begin with the contractor’s industry-tested commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) product to minimize costs and schedule risks associated with developmental work. The vendor solution shall meet performance standards and availability described in the vendor’s quote, shall be integrated with other Information Technology (IT) systems, shall be operated and maintained in accordance with industry best practice and Federal guidelines, and shall include a Service Level Agreement (SLA).

The contractor shall coordinate all technical implementation tasks with

Government-designated support teams including server, application, network and/or security teams. This task includes the technical support, changes and architectural expertise to maintain the application in compliance with all existing GSA policies and guidelines. Issues that may be discovered through scan, reviews and audits shall be resolved in the timeframes defined by GSA policy. The scope of the resulting task order shall include all products and support services required to deploy, host, license, configure, integrate, enhance, and support as well as train end-users.

No additional onsite hardware or network bridge is to be required to deploy, implement, or operate the UUI solution. Proprietary protocols and naming conventions will also not be acceptable.
