OPPORTUNITY QUALIFICATION SUMMARY

Background / Scope

The Department of Commerce (DOC) has a wide range of responsibilities in the areas of trade, economic development, technology, entrepreneurship and business development, environmental stewardship, and statistical research and analysis. Within the federal government, the DOC is also the principal defender and champion of the digital economy. Data from the DOC touches every American and influences daily business decisions. Additionally, data derived from DOC systems enables start-ups, moves markets, protects life and property, and powers both small and multi-billion-dollar companies.

DOC promotes job creation and economic growth by ensuring fair and reciprocal trade, providing the data necessary to support commerce and constitutional democracy, and fostering innovation by setting standards and conducting foundational research and development. The DOC operating units are in all 50 states, every U.S. territory, and more than 86 countries worldwide, and provide U.S.-based companies and entrepreneurs invaluable tools through programs such as the Decennial Census, the National Weather Service, Export Administration, NOAA Fisheries, and the Foreign Commercial Service. Among many other functions, the Department oversees ocean and coastal navigation, helps negotiate bilateral trade agreements, and enforces laws that ensure a level playing field for American businesses and workers. The Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) is an Operating Unit within the Office of the Secretary (OS). The OCIO is responsible for ensuring that the department’s programs make full and appropriate use of information technology. It supports the increased use of leading-edge technology to enable the department to carry out its mission more efficiently, with improved products and services at the lowest cost.

OCIO’s vision is to leverage Cloud-based platforms delivering IT “as-a-service” and ensuring redundancy, agility, and responsiveness in delivering solutions quickly and securely to support new business requirements. The department is moving in a direction of minimizing the capital investments needed every three-to-five years for a technology refresh of obsolete infrastructure equipment and hardware. Utilizing IT as a service, the DOC can position itself to meet the strategic goals, deliver its missions, and be recognized as a leader within future administrations and the federal enterprise in its use of Information Technology.

The Office of Solutions and Service Delivery (OSSD) is located within the OCIO’s Office and is responsible for management of the Herbert C. Hoover Building network (HCHBNet). OSSD provides complete IT solutions to customers by leveraging industry-leading infrastructure and advanced technology service solutions to maintain and improve their experience.
