- Description
- The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intends to award a sole source purchase order to Sonasoft Corporation, for the purchase of the software licenses related to Exchange Disaster Recovery capabilities. These items and services have been determined to meet the definition of commercial items in accordance with Part 2.101 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. The IRS has a need for the following items: CLIN 0001 – Sonasafe Application, Item Number SC, Quantity 4 CLIN 0002 – Exchange Standby License, Item Number SC-B, Quantity 4 CLIN 0003 – Exchange Agent, Item Number SE, Quantity 8 CLIN 0004 – Exchange Standby Agent, Item Number SE-S, Quantity 8 CLIN 0005 – 1 Year Sonasoft Software Maintenance, Item Number SM, Quantity 1. The IRS requires the purchase of the above mentioned Sonasoft software since it will expand the IRS-Office of Chief Counsel’s (OCC) Exchange Disaster Recovery capabilities beyond the incumbent servers. The software initiates the real time replication of mail box changes and commences the backup of mailboxes via existing IRS servers. In addition, the software package includes the ability to rapidly switch to a disaster recovery site from a remote location. The software platform allows the OCC to recover customer e-mail in the event of a catastrophic Exchange server failure. Sonasoft Corporation has customized their commercial off the shelf software to operate within the OCC. Sonasoft is the sole proprietor of the software and software maintenance. Vendors who can provide the required services at prices, terms and conditions equal to or better than those which can be provided by Sonasoft Corporation, should submit clear and convincing data in writing substantiating an ability to furnish the entire requirement. Telephonic or email inquiries will not be accepted. Responses to this notice must be received by this office by 05:00 pm EDT on September 17, 2008. Responses should be sent to: Internal Revenue Service, Office of Procurement, 6009 Oxon Hill Road, Oxon Hill, MD 20745, Attn: Eddie Ortiz, OS:A:P:I:F:B. Responses will be accepted by facsimile at (202)283-4427. These responses may not exceed 10 pages. A formal solicitation may be issued if a response is received that meets IRS's requirements, and the analysis of both technical and pricing documentation indicate a competitive acquisition would be more advantageous to the Government. Currently, no solicitation document exists for this requirement. Requests for same will be considered non-responsive. The reference number for this announcement is Y8Y184TSA62-000. If no compelling responses are received, the award will be made to Sonasoft Corporation.
