- Description
- This is an announcement of intent to award a sole-source purchase order to EOS International, a small business. The United States Army Corps of Engineers, Kansas City District (The Kansas City District) requires one (1) EOS.Web Cataloging Module; one (1) EOS.WebCirculation Module; one (1) EOS.Web OPAC Module; one (1) hour of custom training; and one (1) Data Conversion including all system set-up, user manuals, and shipping. This is a follow-on acquisition to supplement an existing inventory of software. The North American Industry Classification System code for this acquisition is 423430, Computer and Computer Peripheral Equipment and Software Merchant Wholesalers. This is a pre-award notice with the intent to award a sole-source purchase order under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, Section 6.302. The Kansas City District proposes to execute a firm fixed-price purchase order to satisfy this requirement. The basis of the Government proposing to issue a sole-source purchase order is that the software is required in order to be compatible with all of the other libraries within the USACE division. The required software is proprietary in nature, and there are no other distributors of the software. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS OR QUOTATIONS. However, firms interested in submitting product information of systems of equal performance and function may do so for the Governments consideration (as indicated below). A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Any information received will be considered for the purposes of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement and will become a part of the market research for this acquisition. Firms intending to provide submittals in response to this notice must submit detailed information indicating their products ability to meet the Governments requirement. Responses must be received no later than August 28th 2009, at 2:30 CST. At a minimum, potential sources are to include the following product information with their submittal (ten-page maximum limit): 1. COMPLETE PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS: Firms must provide product specifications/datasheets in sufficient detail to provide a comparison with ostensibly equivalent devices to the EOS.Web software. 2. PRICE: Firms must provide device price per unit, and in aggregate. Firms must also state their price for all required software (in order to function as intended & equivalent in function to the Governments stated requirement) and software maintenance agreements. 3. TRAINING COSTS: Firms must state their price to provide orientation training for 1-4 users if quoting on other than EOS.Web software. The users would need to be trained to a competency level that would allow them to provide training to others. Training costs should include field training and software training in the office environment. Assume training would be accomplished in Kansas City, Missouri with a classroom provided. Firms must state the number of hours needed to accomplish the training to the standards mentioned above.
