BRAND NAME UNIQUE JUSTIFICATIONFOR MICROFOCUS SOFTWARE SUPPORTFA8771-08-R-0022 IWIMS system has a requirement for technical support for MICROFOCUS COBOL to maintain the legacy program for patches, upgrades and technical support which supports the Air Force's Civil Engineers. It is imperative that the developmental environment matches the operational environment to ensure completeness in testing. Without the purchase of this software and its associated maintenance, the required testing before fielding new software and/or system architecture changes would not be able to take place. This could adversely affect Civil Engineers Air Force-wide with the introduction of new software and/or system architecture changes that are not thoroughly tested. The Government's minimum needs can only be satisfied with the purchase of this hardware and maintenance. This purchase allows the developmental environment to match the operational environment. A failure to purchase specified software and maintenance would prevent the 754 ELSG from meeting current customer r! equirements of thoroughly tested changes to software and system architecture.
