This Notice is SUBJECT TO THE AVAILABILITY OF FY 2007 FUNDS pursuant to FAR Clause 52.232-18. This notice does not obligate funds. The Government intends to purchase open market Hardware maintenance services under a GSA Schedule task order for mainframe hosting services: The General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) has the responsibility of providing the information technology required to support its business lines. For decades, a key component in the development of these systems has been based the Unisys ClearPath Enterprise Server platform. A redundant pair of these mainframe computers are located in Eagan, MN and Salt Lake City UT. Six of seven OMB-300 ?majors? run on the ClearPath computers, and the majority of all computing FAS undertakes is served by them. In February 2002 a competitive procurement under GSA Schedule 70 (in accordance with FAR 8.4) was awarded to Unisys under the GSA Blanket Purchase Agreement (entitled, ?GSAS) for the purchase and installation of the ClearPath mainframe technology. Unisys was the one of the competitive solutions considered and recommended by the technical evaluation team. It was also considered the reasonable and acceptable solution based on price. The following software maintenance subscriptions are part of an integrated configuration within the current mainframe operating environment and are not available on GSA Schedule. The open market maintenance items listed below are embedded within the existing application infrastructure and are needed to successfully operate the mainframes: Third Party Software Maintenance, Model Number, Quantity, Price Open/A Host Software, R4344-90 , 1, $17,943 Secure FTP-Asgard, SFTPMAINT, 2, $3,135 Open/A for JAVA, JDBC - unlimited User licenses, R4617-81 , 1, $9,746 BL/Library Remote (FSSBACKUPC), R4602-46 , 1, $7,937 BL/Pack, R4602-47 , 1, $12,844 BL/Dist, R4602-48 , 1, $14,070 BL/Pack Remote (FSSBACKUPC), R4602-48, 1, $8,233 Universal Report Specifying Application (URSA), R4602-54, 1, $23,467 MCP Capacity Power Agent, R4622-04, 1, $3,835 Viewpoint Performance Analyzer Package, R4602-55 , 1, $3,835 Viewpoint COMS Lib and T/L Module, R4602-56 , 1, $1,917 Viewpoint DMSII Module, R4602-57 , 1, $1,917 Viewpoint TCPIP Module, R4620-02, 1, $1,917 Coms Monitoring Facility , R3188-19 , 1, $2,689 Safe & Secure Software, R4612-45, 1, $5,324 Pathvu, R4602-81, 1, $5,073 TECTIA SSH SECURE SHELL MAINTENANCE, R4622-13, 2, $555 , , Total, $124,437 Software maintenance is a necessary requirement to maintain complex technology systems. The items are a essential components embedded within an overall mainframe environment that is purchased off GSA Schedule. The Government is not able to isolate these items and purchase them separately, as it would cause undue burden and risk of disruption of required 24x7 operations. Therefore it is in the Government?s best interest to incorporate the cost of the maintenance services in the total order. All interested parties should request additional information, communicate concerns, or direct any questions concerning this acquisition to Holly Carr 703 605 5588, email: holly.carr@gsa.gov.
