- Description
- On a SOLE-SOURCE basis, the Bureau of Transportation Research (BTS), within the Research and Special Programs Administration (RITA), within the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT), plans to issue a SOLE-SOURCE contract or delivery order or purchase order to DLT Solutions, Inc. (DLT), to pay for software maintenance by DLT. The maintenance covers technical support and updates for the Toad for Oracle (Toad) software, which is part of the RITA Enterprise Architecture. The maintenance is renewed on an annual basis. The estimated cost for this procurement (covering Federal Fiscal Year 2009) is $7,825.48. RITA’s Office of Information Technology currently manages the Toad software licenses for RITA and BTS. This software is used to perform data management and data analysis on databases maintained by RITA. Some of these are high visibility databases for programs such as airline data, the Census of Ferries, and others. Without support, maintenance, and product upgrades, the capability of key BTS and RITA projects to sustain production through various data management and analysis needs that Toad provides would be severely handicapped and in many cases would delay entire projects and / or programs. DLT acts as the coordinator for Toad Maintenance for Federal customers. DLT has been the sole GSA vendor for this product since February 10, 2009. Quest Software, Inc. is the sole manufacturer of such Toad for Oracle software, and Quest has designated DLT as the sole Federal provider of maintenance for Quest’s Toad for Oracle software. Therefore, DLT is believed to be the only available source for providing the needed software maintenance. The software items to be maintained by DLT under this procurement are as follows: 1. TOAD FOR ORACLE PER SEAT MAINTENANCE RENEWAL, 12/31/07 – 12/31/09 2. TOAD for Oracle Standard Edition Per Seat Maintenance Renewal Pack, 12/15/08 – 12/31/09. ALL RENEWAL MAINTENANCE GOOD THROUGH 12/31/09 (DLT 3191342, QQ 1-51E0LZ) HOWEVER, any company or organization other than DLT, which believes that it is capable of providing such software maintenance services to RITA / BTS at the high level of quality and efficiency that is indispensable to RITA / BTS, may e-mail, to Mr. James Mowery, a Statement of Qualifications, which must be received by Mr. Mowery at james.mowery@dot.gov not later than 4:15 PM Eastern Daylight Time July 2, 2009. HOWEVER, any company or organization that is contemplating the submission of such a Statement of Qualifications should bear in mind that the company or organization would not ultimately be able to defeat DLT in a competitive procurement for the needed software maintenance services without later proving (in a full-blown proposal) that the company or organization is the best buy for RITA / BTS, taking into consideration not only technical factors and quality factors but also pricing factors and past performance factors.
