- Description
- The Bureau of the Public Debt on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security, Office of Inspector General is posting this Request for Information (RFI) to conduct market research related to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Audit for the Department of Homeland Security. Based on its market research, the Government will be assessing the following: 1. Determine the availability of vendors capable of providing the consolidated Chief Financial Officer audit, their business size based on a NAICS code of 541211 which has a size standard of $8.5 million, whether or not the vendors have a GSA schedule that provides for these types of services, and assess past performance. 2. Assess the performance work statement. 3. Determine whether one contractor or multiple contractors should perform the audit. If the vendor is recommending that multiple contractors perform this work, identify how the components should be segmented and the timeline necessary to provide the component audit opinions that will allow the principal auditor to provide a consolidated opinion for DHS. 4. Determine whether the performance audits should be accomplished through a separate contract or as part of the CFO Audit. Provide rationale for your recommendation. 5. Determine whether the internal control audits over financial reporting should be performed by the Contractor performing the CFO audit. Provide rationale for your recommendation. 6. Provide the % of work that your company must accomplish in order to issue an opinion on a consolidated audit. 7. As a part of this audit, the Government requests that the Contractor not only provide the Notification of Finding and Recommendation (NFRs), but also provide a roadmap to facilitate the remediation of the findings. 8. If the vendor has provided consulting, accounting, or auditing services that may pose a potential conflict of interest, please indicate what those services are and when the services finished or are projected to finish. 9. Assess whether vendors have facility clearances and personnel cleared at the levels specified in the performance work statement. 10. Assess whether the work can be fixed-price. If not, what additional information does the vendor need to do so? 11. Provide pricing (ex. labor categories and hourly rates) for these types of services. Vendors are encouraged to read the attached current performance work statement for the Chief Financial Audit and performance audits in fiscal year 2008. Also, the published Independent Auditor Opinions are located at http://www.dhs.gov/xoig/rpts/ by year under the management reports link. Attached are the number of hours that have been expended for Fiscal Years 2006 and 2007. Please note that each year the work changes based on the remediation of weaknesses as well as changing the scope at USCG in FY 2007. Beginning in FY 2007 the scope of work was changed to only validate the conditions leading to the disclaimer of opinion as USCG management did not to assert to accuracy of any the balances on the balance sheet. It should also be noted that the Department of Homeland Security is in the process of soliciting for a new financial system. It is anticipated that the new financial system will be implemented during the period of performance of any future contract issued for the CFO audit. Your response should be sent to psb3@bpd.treas.gov no later than 2:00 p.m. on December 8, 2008. In your response, please reference RFI-FIG-09-0003 TW in the subject line. Public Debt is requesting information related to the issues shown above. At the Government's option, we may schedule in person meetings to discuss or clarify information provided in response to this RFI. The Government anticipates that these meetings, if necessary, will be held during the week of January 12, 2009 in the DC area. Please note that this information is being requested for information and planning purposes only as Public Debt is primarily interested in assessing the areas shown above. The Government does not intend to award a contract or otherwise pay for the information requested. Public Debt will assess the ability of the market to meet the needs as stated above based on the information received. Dependent upon the results of this market survey, Public Debt anticipates issuing a solicitation to acquire these services. Any such solicitation would be based on a performance-based work statement. Please note that no solicitation document is available at this time. Any questions related to this request for information shall be directed to the Contract Specialist or Contracting Officer. No contact shall be made to DHS-IG staff
