The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) has an immediate need to migrate existing web functionality from an external environment to a newly redesigned website hosted on its USDA FNS platform, creating a cohesive user experience by eliminating redundant information, implementing a consistent design, and streamlining navigation; thereby, providing SNAP Nutrition Education (SNAP-Ed) State and Implementing Agencies with easy access to SNAP-Ed materials.

Roles and responsibilities:

  • Architect, design, and develop Drupal 9.x or newer CMS websites
  • Plan and implement information architecture, information structure and features, functionality, user- interface design, and navigation for the Drupal 9.x CMS.
  • Export applicable content from current website to new Drupal 9.x CMS
  • Deploy Agency websites in a centralized, large-scale environment and within an architecture that easily facilitates the management of common theme(s), modules or other shared components for large scale and/or standalone websites
  • Create and execute content migration plans and coordinate the migration of content and site assets from legacy web sites and sites hosted at external partner domains as needed
  • Ensure the application operates in a secure manner reducing the risk exposure to the agency and the department and ensuring the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of the data.
  • Complete security related training by specified deadline for all contract staff as needed.
  • Provide user stories, technical design, and architecture documentation for FNCS review and approval if changes are required.

  • Maintain a dialogue between the service provider and all project stakeholders, rather than trying to comprehensively specify requirements up-front. This focus will be assisted by working through short, tightly scoped product iterations in which working software is delivered to users regularly, and adjustments are made based on feedback gleaned from these iterations.
  • Lead and collaborate with the CORs, workgroups, and stakeholders in requirements sessions to develop recommendations and approaches, to be approved by the Government to satisfy the objectives and purposes of this contract. Results of these sessions will generate the Product Roadmap, Epics, Themes, and User Stories, business logic and rules, functionality, and system documentation.
