The Statement of Objectives (SOO) outlines the requirements for a contractor to migrate the Naval Special Warfare Psychological Assessment & Selection System (NPASS) database to a new server, enhance database functionality, and develop web-based forms for data management. The primary tasks include installing and validating the NPASS SQL database and web application, modifying existing forms and database structures to meet specific unit needs, and ensuring compliance with DoD data security standards. The contractor will also automate data extraction from various sources, support data analysis, and provide training on ongoing data management processes. Required qualifications include Security Plus certification and specific experience in web development, database management, and statistical analysis. An estimated timeline and cost must accompany the proposal. While work may be conducted remotely, occasional travel to Aberdeen, NC, may be necessary. This SOO emphasizes the government's need for efficient and secure data management solutions in personnel assessments, highlighting a commitment to data integrity and user support.
The U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command's Global Services Unit (AFSOC-GSU) is seeking sources for a short-term service contract lasting 6-12 months to implement the NPASS platform. This platform aims to centralize and streamline personnel assessment data from various databases, enabling real-time analysis and efficient record sharing. Although the platform is free, a part-time software engineer contractor is required for its initial setup, with maintenance potentially provided by a quarter-time engineer.
This notice serves as a Sources Sought request for information and planning purposes and does not represent a formal Request for Proposals (RFP). Interested vendors are invited to express their interest and capability to fulfill these requirements, including compliance with relevant NAICS codes. The anticipated contract performance period is expected to commence in late 2024 or early 2025, and interested parties should submit their responses by November 8, 2024.
