REQUIREMENT: The Department of Defense (DoD), Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), Acquisition Directorate (AD) is issuing this notice to obtain information to assist in developing the acquisition for web based data mining software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform and analytical support solutions for the Office of the Chief Management Officer (OCMO). Note: A Security Clearance is not anticipated for vendors or personnel at this time. However, personnel may be required to successfully pass a National Agency Check (NAC). Task Area 1: A standardized, normalized, curated, and longitudinally accurate group of relevant datasets organic to a mature web-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform is required for analysis at scale. Task Area 2: The SaaS application should be the sole property of the contracted vendor and use advanced data science techniques and technologies such as entity extraction, concept search and text analysis, predictive modeling, and the ability to detect common semantic relationships between and among data sources that update and refresh, in real time, all performed analyses as new information becomes available. Task Area 3: Experienced data scientists and analysts who have a deep understanding and knowledge of the SaaS platform and DoD data and requirements are required. Task Area 4: Vendor will be able to fully support ongoing cost efficiency efforts in the DoD's various lines of business such as real property, healthcare, financial services, and cost accounting analyses to assist the DoD's audit preparation and achieve overall DoD efficiency goals. Task Area 5: Vendor will perform specialized analysis to identify redundancies in DoD spending, across multiple portfolios, to identify inefficiencies, and to ultimately increase DoD buying power through data science and analytic findings. Task Area 6: Vendor will support ongoing cost and management accounting analyses. Task Area 7: Vendor will perform analysis to rationalize various DoD investment portfolios, including, but not limited to its Research Development Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) efforts. Task Area 8: Vendor will perform rigorous analysis to identify opportunities to consolidate services contracts across the DoD to increase its buying power and efficiencies in services provided by the National Security Innovation Base. Place of Performance: The majority of the work associated with this effort is anticipated to be performed off-site at contractor facilities. However, some work may be performed on-site at Government facilities in the Washington, DC and surrounding metropolitan area.
