- Description
- The Social Security Administration intends to issue an order to IBM for the use of a facility for IT training purposes. This requirement is for a facility only; the requirement is not for training. This facility must be within a 12-mile radius of the Social Security headquarters that is located at 6401 Security Blvd., Baltimore, MD 21235. The classroom must be large enough to hold 14 students/workstations. The minimum physical hardware requirements for the training are: Processor: PIII; Processor Speed; 850Mhz memory; 512M Storage; 10G Network Adapter; token Ring Video; 1024 x 768 Peripherals. The minimum software requirements for the training are: JDK 1.2.2; IBM HTTP Server 1.3.6; IBM Lotus Domino R5; IBM Websphere Application Server 1.1; IBM Websphere Application Server 3.0 Advanced Edition; Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 with SP6; and Netscape Navigator 4.75. The training courses require Virtual Private Network (VPN), a technique used to allow access to data/labs behind their firewalls. The facility must have the ability to connect to IBM labs which means that each workstation can get outside the firewall to the internet; therefore, a 3270 emulator must be installed on the workstations. Reproducing and mailing administrative paperwork will be needed for each class and staff will coordinate this with SSA Office of Systems Training Branch. Tentative dates for the training courses will be March 10 through March 14 (2 different classes); March 24 through March 28; March 17 through March 21; March 31 through April 4; March 31 to April 3 (2 different classes); an unscheduled 3-day class in March; four unscheduled 3-day classes in April; April 4 through April 10; an unscheduled 2-day class in April; a one-day class on April 4; five unscheduled 5-day classes in May; four unscheduled 4-day classes in May; one unscheduled 3-day class in May; an unscheduled 3-day class in June; an unscheduled 4-day class in June; an 3-day classes from June 2 through June 5; and a 3-day unscheduled class in June. Any organization possessing the requisite facility are invited to submit information concerning their capabilities, experience, pricing and other pertinent data (including GSA Schedule information). When responding to this announcement, respondents should refer to Training Facility. Responses must be in writing and should be submitted to the address cited at the beginning of this notice or by email to rita.carter@ssa.gov. THE DUE DATE FOR RESPONSES IS 12:00PM EST, FEBRUARY 14, 2003. FAXED RESPONSES SHALL NOT BE PERMITTED. The Government does not intend to pay for information received. All responses from responsible sources will be fully considered. As a result of evaluating responses to this notice, the contracting office may determine that a solicitation will be issued. If a solicitation is issued, no additional synopsis will be published. Any such solicitation will be issued to the intended vendor, as stated herein, and to all firms that respond to this notice or otherwise request a copy of the solicitation.
