- Description
- The Social Security Administration (SSA) intends to purchase software proprietary to one manufacturer as set forth in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 8.405-6 “To an item peculiar to one manufacturer.” As it stands, OpenTech is the only known manufacturer of the abovelisted software. The current software licensing ceiling for the Tape/Copy product is 43,346 Cheryl-Watson MIPS; the new ceiling requested is 56,328 Cheryl-Watson MIPS, an increase of 12,982. The requirement for additional mainframe software licensing is due to mainframe hardware upgrades. The mainframe hardware upgrades are necessary to support the (a) creation of the Document Management Facility/2 for post entitlement processing; (b) reduction of SSA’s mainframe processing usage ceiling from 95% to 90% to alleviate production outages; and (c) Accelerated Disaster Recovery Environment to facilitate backup and recovery of National Computer Center critical workloads at the Durham Support Center. In order to support these initiatives, SSA’s mainframe capacity will increase by 12,982 Cheryl-Watson MIPS. •System 82 – increase of 3,062 Cheryl-Watson MIPS - from a z10 2097-714 to a z10 2097-720 •System 83 – increase of 3,061 Cheryl-Watson MIPS - from a z10 2097-715 to a z10 2097-721 •System 84 – increase of 3,062 Cheryl-Watson MIPS - from a z10 2097-714 to a z10 2097-720 •System 93 – increase of 1,294 Cheryl-Watson MIPS - from a z10 2097-706 to a z10 2097-708 •System 94 – increase of 2503 Cheryl-Watson MIPS - New z10 2097-703 mainframe system Any vendor capable of providing software that can perform the essential requirements must present electronic/written evidence of such capabilities by August 3, 2009.
