- Description
- : This is a NOTICE OF INTENT to negotiate on a sole source basis. SSA intends to negotiate with eiStream WMS, Inc., 296 Concord Road, Billerica, MA 01821, for software maintenance and upgrades for eiStream Enhanced Archive Manager software products, under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1 ???Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements???. These software products are used to support SSA???s nationwide National Imaging/Paperless PSC process. SSA uses eiStream Enhanced Archive Manager (small) which provides magnetic storage up to 500-gigabyte capacity, and eiStream Enhanced Archive Manager (large) which provides magnetic storage up to 1 terabyte capacity to provide archives of work items for storage and retrieval to magnetic disk. This eiStream paperless software solution supports 8 sites, approximately 12,000 users nationwide, processes approximately 281,714 transactions daily and houses over 91 million electronic documents, of which 76 million are archived to magnetic disk. SSA is considering establishing a Blanket Purchase Agreement for eiStream Enhanced Archive Manager software maintenance and upgrades for the period October 01, 2006 through September 30, 2011. SSA currently owns 12 licenses consisting of the following eiStream software products: 9 Enhanced Archive Manager (small) which provides magnetic storage up to 500-gigabyte capacity; 3 Enhanced Archive Manager (large) which provides magnetic storage up to 1 terabyte capacity. All services and maintenance would be carried out at any SSA designated site. In addition to allowing SSA to continue to leverage its current investment in eiStream Enhanced Archive Manager software products, the contract will provide ongoing maintenance support, a vehicle for acquiring additional licenses at a reduced rate, and upgrades through the term of the contract. eiStream is the only source known to the government that is capable of providing upgrades and maintenance support for these proprietary software products. This is a Notice of Intent only, not a solicitation. Requests for solicitation will not be acknowledged. When responding to this announcement, respondents should refer to eiStream Software Upgrades and Maintenance. Written responses to this synopsis shall contain sufficient documentation to establish a bonafide capability to fulfill this requirement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
