A description of the supplies or services required to meet the agency?s needs. Inclusion of FAM and FAH material within the search will significantly enhance the power of the search for users by providing links directly to current versions of regulations and guidance, eliminating the need to update links within the Ask Admin Knowledgebase when FAM and FAH material is reissued or reorganized, as was the case when 6 FAM and 6 FAH were expanded into three additional FAM/FAH volumes ? 14 FAM/FAH, 15 FAM/FAH, and 16 FAM/FAH. 4. An identification of the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition. FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. A demonstration that the proposed contractor?s unique qualifications or the nature of the acquisition requires use of the authority cited (for sole source acquisitions; also required for unusual and compelling urgency where more than one offer will not be solicited). IRM and HR have already purchased 3 Metastorm modules and A/GSSI would like to purchase the remaining 2 modules that are part of the eWorks suite. These modules will provide additional functionality (metrics and business modeling) that will work in conjunction with the previously purchased modules (Process designer, automation engine and Manager). Since the Department of State, via IRM and HR, have already made an investment in this particular workflow project, we want to continue to leverage this existing investment rather than work with another vendor and start from scratch with another suite that would not be compatible with existing efforts. We are also purchasing additional user licenses that will also complement previously purchased licenses and which will allow A/GSSI to work with our OIP and overseas customers on process automation. In addition, the purchase order includes some consulting hours to help us get up and running via a rapid development mode so that we can maximize our investment in a short timeframe. No other company sells this software.
