Description

The General Services Administration, Federal Technology Service, Region 8, Denver and its client, U.S. Air Force Academy, 2304 Cadet Dr. Ste. 228, Colorado Springs, CO, 80840 intended to procure on a Sole Source basis from System Design Group, Inc., 312 South Weber, Suite D, Colorado Springs, CO 80907, 719-442-2696, the following services: renewal of maintenance services to provide all labor, personnel, materials, supervision, transportation, and other items and other services/tasks, necessary to perform the support required for the listed equipment, software, and licenses. Support consists of all software upgrades; including instructions for installation and configuration, software releases and bug fixes as required. Telephone support will be provided 24 X 7. Maintenance for the following applications shall be provided: Cadet Leisure Activities Support System (CLASS), Inventory Management System (IMS), Tailor Shop Support System (TASS), Flight Issue (IEU), Intermec Symbol (PC IRL), Military Performance Average, (Java/Oracle) (MPA), Photo ID System (Java/Oracle) (BRITE ID), Rental/ITT (POS/ and Event Scheduling) (ORC/Ski), Cadet Entertainment (Event Scheduling) (ENTERTAINMENT), Sponsor (Java/Oracle), Package Management (Java/Oracle) (UPS, Gift), Key Control (Asset Tracking). Upgrades also include changes requested as a result of advances in technology or changes that are beyond our control, i.e. directed reorganization, programming design changes to other programs ((AMIS, MilMod, etc.). A CBD SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE ISSUD as a result of this CBD. Only one order will be issued for this requirement, no partials. PURPOSE: This renewal contract is intended to supply the Air Force Academy with all software, personnel, supervision, transportation and other services necessary to perform remedial maintenance for existing modules, both, Progress and Oracle based, for systems currently on line at the Academy. IMPACT: System Design Group directly provides and installs all upgrades, patches, releases, programming, development, and integration for Progress and Oracle databases and software. Award of this contract to another company will jeopardize the performance of this critical mission. This is a mission-essential software conversion that will result in the integration of various applications into one relational database, used by cadets, faculty, and staff for several years. JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION: Systems Design Group, for over 10 years, has amassed an intimate knowledge of the Cadet Wing and SC requirements. They possess invaluable experience with their highly successful implementations throughout the 34th Cadet training Wing and the 10th Logistics Squadron. The learning curve and training time of a new cont5ractor prohibit cost effectiveness, especially due to the manning shortage and time constraints of the 34th Training Wing. Systems Design Group is the only source capable of satisfying the Government because competition would prove extremely costly at this time. This would also delay any new development, integration, migration, interfaces, and upgrades. The cost charged by Systems Design Group is below the standard rate for systems integrator and software developer. Systems Design Group has agreed to maintain their hourly rate above the inflation rate, for the prior year for each option year. Concerns having the ability to furnish the above services/supplies are requested to give written notification (including the telephone number for a point of contact) to the acquiring office listed in this notice within 15-calendar days from the date of this synopsis. This notification should clearly show their ability to do so without compromising the quality, accuracy and reliability of the requirement. This is not a formal solicitation. However, concerns that respond should furnish detailed data concerning, their capabilities and may request a copy of the solicitation when it becomes available. All information is to be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government. Along with the above req2uest product information, please include company name, mailing and e-mail addresses, telephone and fax numbers.
