- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT: The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) intends to award a sole source contract to Microsoft Corporation of Charlotte, NC for Microsoft Premiere Support. This contract will be fixed price. Since Microsoft applications are used through-out the Coast Guard, only Microsoft Premier Support can provide direct access to Microsoft software developers and proprietary source codes for current and future support. Purchasing support from another vendor would not be cost effective. The Coast Guard requires Microsoft to provide assistance for problems when specific symptoms are encountered while using NT 4.0 and a resolution is required. Without the referenced support, the entire Coast Guard standard workstation infrastructure would be vulnerable. Problem resolution support must be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Problem resolution can include the following: a modification to Microsoft?s NT 4.0 software code to address specific critical problems, i.e. break-fix request or security vulnerability; and on-site support if needed. Support Assistance includes: provide short-term advice, guidance and knowledge transfer for issues reported; and support provided remotely. This is a restricted solicitation. The period of performance for this acquisition is one year (January 01, 2005 through December 31, 2005). The proposed contract action is for support services for which the government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source. All interested parties have up to 2 days from the publication of this notice of intent to request a copy of the Request For Proposal (RFP). All correspondence should be addressed to: Commandant (G-ACS-5/AGS/Room 5222), U. S. Coast Guard Headquarters, 2100 Second Street SW, Washington, DC 20593-0001?NOTE 22 applies. Signed: Augustine Green-Smith, Contracting Officer.*****
