Description
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is seeking to procure Data Informed Disaster Decision Making Services (DIDDMS) through a sole source award to Raft LLC. The services include the enhancement and refinement of the DART and SPEAR platforms, which are used for data visualization and disaster response. The proposed effort is a logical follow-on to the original task order and consists of new and expanded requirements that are dependent on the existing system architecture and operational environment. The contractor will be responsible for integrating additional federal and non-federal datasets, conducting data assessment and standardization, enhancing SPEAR to enable longitudinal analysis of grant recipient recovery, and expanding real-time data integration between SPEAR and DART.
Some key points about this opportunity include:
• The estimated value of the proposed action is $1,064,347.00.
• The work is expected to be completed within a period of six months.
• The contractor will be required to extend and modify existing data models, integrate new datasets into established pipelines, and ensure system performance and data integrity.
• The Government has determined that the incumbent contractor is the only responsible source capable of performing this work efficiently due to their unique knowledge of the system architecture, data structures, and operational environment.
• The Government plans to take actions to increase competition in future acquisitions, including transition planning and knowledge transfer, market research, and industry engagement.
