RFI Strategic Replatforming and Modernization of GSA's Real Estate Technology Portfolio 47QACB25N0001

OBJECTIVE: Strategic replatforming and modernization of GSA s real estate technology portfolio to support PBS s enterprise business capabilities using modern, scalable, secure, and interoperable commercial technologies. This RFI/Sources Sought seeks vendor input on commercial Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms and implementation approaches that can consolidate and streamline PBS business processes, improve data visibility and integration, and enhance user experience across the real estate lifecycle. SCOPE: GSA/PBS is conducting market research to identify experienced systems integrators and solution providers capable of delivering best-in-class, modular, and interoperable real estate technology solutions. Responses should address how proposed solutions support PBS s business capabilities (e.g., acquisition and contract lifecycle management, lease lifecycle management, space planning, asset/facilities operations, project/capital delivery, portfolio planning and performance, customer engagement, compliance/risk, market intelligence/knowledge management, enterprise financial operations, and real property disposal management). Period of Performance (PoP): Not applicable for this RFI/Sources Sought (market research only). Any subsequent solicitation will define PoP and contract type. Requirements The Government anticipates any future award to align with the following requirements and principles: SaaS-first, cloud-native solutions supporting scalability, elasticity, high availability, and Section 508 digital accessibility. API-first, extensible architectures enabling modularity and future integrations; interoperable with PBS and enterprise platforms. Process integration and functionality consolidation to reduce manual effort and duplicate data, and to streamline workflows. Workflow automation and configurable (not customized) business processes aligned to PBS operations; auditable with version control. Data visibility and integration strategy that eliminates silos and supports analytics and secure data/document sharing across divisions. Security and compliance with Federal standards (e.g., FISMA); FedRAMP Ready/Authorized solutions preferred. Artificial Intelligence to enhance efficiency, forecasting, and decision support across the real estate lifecycle. CURRENT TECHNOLOGY LANDSCAPE (CONTEXT) To inform responses, the following systems are representative of PBS s current environment. Respondents should describe how proposed solutions integrate with, enhance, or replace these capabilities where appropriate: IBM Maximo building asset management and maintenance operations. IBM Tririga real estate portfolio management, lease administration, capital project tracking. Kahua project and construction management for capital improvements. Salesforce CRM customer and stakeholder engagement. Appian workflows supporting acquisitions and lease management. Databricks enterprise data & analytics platform for unification, advanced analytics, and AI/ML. BidHom property disposal lifecycle and public auction management. ArcGIS geospatial analysis and mapping of real estate assets. Inclusion of the above does not imply exclusivity or guaranteed retention. PBS is open to improved, consolidated alternatives aligned to modernization goals in a hybrid retain-and-acquire model.
