Description

The Social Security Administration intends to negotiate solely with the Isogon Corporation, 330 7th Avenue, New York, NY, 10001, under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 13.106-1 to purchase maintenance support for software already installed and in use at SSA, 6201 Security Blvd, Baltimore MD 21235. This is proprietary software and Isogon Corporation is the only known source capable of providing the required maintenance support. Maintenance support provides the required software fixes, corrections and revisions necessary to ensure a stable processing environment. Tic Toc is a commercial-off-the shelf application that is used with CICS ASKTIME command. The ASKTIME command is issued by an application program in order to get the current date and time, as supplied by the operating system. Tic Toc is used to intercept these commands and return a virtual date and/or time. The virtual date and/or time are used to set certain transactions, terminals, userids or combination of these. SSA also uses Tic Toc as a date/time simulation testing tool. It is used on a job-by job basis to test the affects of various dates on SSA application programs without any code changes. Isogon Corporation has no resellers authorized to sell Tic Toc maintenance. Isogon is the only authorized dealer known to the Government. A sole source award pursuant to FAR Subpart 13.5, Test Program for Certain Commercial Items shall be issued to the Isogon Corporation for these products unless other vendors can provide documentation that can prove they can provide this resource.
