OCC Modernization Program
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the OCC is an independent bureau within the Treasury Department. It is in charge of chartering, regulating and monitoring national banks and federal savings associations across the United States.
Its ITS subset contributes to the OCC’s mission by providing access to relevant technology solutions and services. At present, the OCC utilizes a combination of current and legacy services provided under multiple contract vehicles. However, ITS is in the process of adopting more modern technologies and techniques to ensure that OCC has everything it needs to execute its mission.
IT Modernization Requirements
The selected contractors will provide a team of experts that can support OCC ITS.
The contractors will also design, develop, configure, customize and deploy solutions that meet the office’s requirements. OCC ITS expects the use of DevSecOps techniques and Agile methodologies that enable continuous upgrades and capability integration.
In addition, contractors will be responsible for engaging with business partners and end users. OCC provides for approximately 135 applications and corporate platforms, each containing both commercial-off-the-shelf technologies and fully customized applications.
Work on the effort also includes network support, web content management, communication systems, identity services and business analysis.
Interested parties may submit their capability statements until March 24.
