Introductory information
I work for a Federal Government Agency. I’m a Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). I’ve worked with them on two separate contracts on side of my structure. When I came onboard, we had a contract for technical help to the federally funded structures. An additional need for an annual accomplishment report application was identified. The retired application was running on old web technology, ASP.NET 2.0. The specific need was to form a fully new application as well as synthesize the data points to be calm. The Tactile Group, through the competitive process, was assigned a contract to educe the annual accomplishment report application. The Tactile Group also provides technical help including website technical help modules, in-person and potential training, and conversation presentations. The application collects aggregate data from state structures. The Tactile Group designed the application which collects that data, as well as generates a national report. They’ve also granted subject substance expertise that assisted in determining what data needed to be calm. Due to Tactile’s expertise, data elements were transformed reducing the data assembly burden 89%. The Tactile Group assisted in the process of meeting a federal command to host with a FedRAMP-approved cloud labor provider, moving our infrastructure to the Amazon Web Services open cloud.The application is written in PHP, with a MySQL database and a Tableau server that allows reports to be generated straightly from the data rise. The Tactile Group responded to an open rivalry with a little business set-aside. After a request for information, a request for proposals was issued. Total contract assign (Base plus 4 options) was $ 4.46 M. For the running project, we began working with The Tactile Group on September 4th, 2014. In provisions of their accomplishment, the government completes the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). Quality, budget, treatment, and schedule ratings are granted on a four-point layer, with four being rare, and three being unappropriated. The Tactile Group has an mean of almost 3.5 overall. Utilizing and working from an integrated schedule, The Tactile Group consistently delivers high condition products on-time and within budget. On a day-to-day basis, The Tactile Group set up a project schedule and we have meetings see two weeks for a status update. In the commencement, we met once a week. We have repeatable meetings that detail our ongoing, past, and programned tasks. We managed them tightly over the scheduling, and The Tactile Group always hit the marks.
