- Description
- ITEC4/Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC), on behalf of the Network Enterprise Technology Command/Enterprise Systems Technology Activity (NETCOM/ESTA), intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Microsoft Consulting Services (MCS). The sole source acquisition will extend the current Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract Number W91QUZ-05-D-0006 for the period, September 30, 2008 to September 29, 2009. The support services require that the contractor perform work on Microsoft software products. This work will require access to source code which is proprietary to the Microsoft Corporation and which Microsoft does not make available to other firms. MS Consulting Services (hereafter MS Consulting) is a division of Microsoft and is the only source for the needed support services. Obtaining the necessary support directly from Microsoft through its Consulting Services unit is crucial to the effective implementation of this enterprise license agreement. MCS is the only source that can provide the software support required by the U.S. Army because Microsoft owns and controls the source code and other technical data essential to perform work on the relevant Microsoft products. As noted, Microsoft has not licensed or otherwise given access to its proprietary code and data to any resellers or other third party vendors, including GSA Federal Supply Schedule and Government Multiple Award Contract (MAC) contractors, or any entity other than MCS. Microsoft consultants will provide world-class technical expertise, enterprise experience and project management skills during the envisioning, planning, developing, stabilization and implementation phases of this effort. Direct use of the services of MS Consulting increases the likelihood of successful implementation of the overall Army Golden Master (AGM) goals and objectives. Referenced Numbered Note 22, except interested vendors must respond no later than September 19, 2008 with capability statement.
