All changes are incorporated via track changes in the attached document (i.e., Response Instructions; Section 5 - Pricing Information). All other terms and conditions remain unchanged. This is a Request for Information (RFI) Only. Requests for copies of a solicitation will not receive a response. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding the availability and capability of qualified business sources. This notice is strictly for market research and information purposes only. Responses will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method, including whether a set-aside is possible. The First Responder Network Authority (hereafter referred to as the FirstNet Authority) is seeking responses from all responsible entities capable of fulfilling the requirement described herein. The contemplated NAICS code for this effort is 541519 – Other Computer Related Services; Information Technology Value Added Resellers. This notice is for planning purposes only and is not a Request for Proposal (RFP)/Request for Quotation (RFQ) or an obligation on the part of the FirstNet Authority for conducting a follow-on acquisition. The FirstNet Authority does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this notice or otherwise pay for the information requested. No entitlement or payment of direct or indirect costs or charges by the FirstNet Authority will arise as a result of submission of responses to this notice and FirstNet Authority use of such information. The Government reserves the right to use information provided by respondents for any purpose deemed necessary and legally appropriate. No proprietary, classified, confidential, or sensitive information should be included in response to this notice; however, the FirstNet Authority will recognize as restricted or proprietary data which is clearly marked as such.

The NPSBN supports mission-critical communications for first responders across all 56 U.S. states and territories. Over the past 8 years, the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) has used the OneStream Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) platform to provide its financial close and consolidation, planning, reporting, analytics and account reconciliation. The platform delivers standardized report packages, automated validation rules, and structured submission workflows that enhance data quality and enforce consistent financial governance across the organization. Through its automation capabilities, configurable data models, and audit‑ready workflow and trail features, the platform has improved accuracy, reduced cycle time, and strengthened transparency in FirstNet Authority’s financial planning and reporting activities. These capabilities represent the core functionality FirstNet Authority has implemented to date, which has formed the foundation for FirstNet Authority’s ongoing transformation toward more efficient and reliable enterprise financial management.
