This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This is a Request for Proposals (OAM-2005-N-022). This combined synopsis/solicitation is organized into six parts: 1) General Requirements; 2) Basis of Brand Name; 3) Clause Supplements; 4) Cost Proposals; 5) Technical Evaluation and Award; 6) Point of Contact. 1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: GAO seeks quotes on an open market basis for continuing use of its installed base of NotifyLink Enterprise Server Software for GroupWise. The manufacturer of this software is Notify Technology Corporation, San Jose, CA. Specific contact and product information may be found at www.Notifylink.com. This software is licensed on an annual basis. License fees comprise an annual amount per user for a total of 350 users. The period of performance is January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006, and up to four option years. 2. BASIS OF BRAND NAME: The basis of the Brand Name Justification is FAR 6.302-1. GAO acquired 350 licenses in FY2004 of NotifyLink Enterprise Server Software for GroupWise in order to provide GroupWise email, contact, and task synchronization with wireless devices owned by GAO, and has subsequently deployed NotifyLink enabled devices to selected staff throughout the enterprise. GAO is not aware of any other technical solution that can be immediately deployed that would not involve acquisition of newer Java-enabled devices or specialized security solutions, both of which are not contemplated in the term of this contract. Operationally, NotifyLink remains the only solution to maintain continuing GroupWise synchronization. 3. CLAUSE SUPPLEMENTS: The following Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) provisions and clauses apply to this solicitation and are incorporated by reference. FAR 52.212-1- Instructions to Offerors (Commercial Items). Offerors must include a completed copy of FAR provision 52.213-3- Offeror Representations and Certifications (Commercial Items) with their offer. FAR 52.212-5- Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statues or Executive Orders (Commercial Items). FAR 52.212-4-Contract Terms and Conditions (Commercial Items); LATE PROPOSAL CLAUSE: (A) Any proposals, modifications, or revisions, received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is ?late? and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late proposal would not unduly delay the acquisition; and (1) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of proposals and was under the Government?s control prior to the time set for receipt of proposals; or 2) It is the only proposal received, (B) If the proposals, modification or revision was transmitted through electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, such transmission shall be deemed late unless it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government installation not later than the exact time specified for receipt of proposals. (C) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful proposal that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted. (i) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the proposal wrapper, electronic records, and other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel. (ii) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that proposals cannot be received at the office designated for receipt of proposals by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation, the time specified for receipt of proposals will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume. (iii) Proposals may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before award. Oral proposals in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. 4. COST PROPOSALS: An official authorized to bind the offeror must sign the proposal. Offerors must also complete the required representation and certifications. Failure to furnish the required representation and certification or rejection of the terms and conditions of the solicitation may exclude your offer from consideration. The total amount for each year (base and each option period) and a grand total amount for the base and all option periods should be provided.
