- Description
- THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. This is a notice of intent to award both a brand name and sole source contract under statutory authority 10 USC 2304(c)(1), set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements." United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), 7701 Tampa Point Blvd., Tampa, FL 33621, requires the purchase of maintenance and technical support to include phone, email, and onsite technical support for existing Ascentium Task Management Tool (TMT). The 6th Contracting Squadron intends to make an award to Ascentium Federal, Inc. of 5523 Research Park Drive, Suite 130, Baltimore, Maryland, 21228. Interested parties may e-mail leyla.campbell@macdill.af.mil or fax 813-828-6967, Attn: Leyla Campbell, not later than Friday, 18 September, 2009, 2:00 p.m. EST. Per FAR Part 5.207-13(e) Fed Biz Ops Numbered Note 22 applies and is modified to read: The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within five days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. DEMONSTRATION THAT THE CONTRACTORS UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OR NATURE OF THE ACQUISITION REQUIRES THE USE OF THE AUTHORITY CITED ABOVE (APPLICABILITY OF AUTHORITY) USSOCOM currently uses the Ascentium TMT in conjunction with their Customer Relations Management software. The support for the TMT will provide a full time TMT consultant on site, providing day to day 2nd tier support to the help desk and system administrators for TMT. The consultant may also develop additional basic platform applications. Once customized it provides 1.1-1.25 FTEs with one dedicated full time TMT consultant, and the remaining hours distributed across technical experts to support the consultant in designing and implementing additional capabilities. Ascentium developed the TMT software and is the only company that can provide the maintenance and support for the software. In order for another company to provide the maintenance and support for the TMT software that company would need access to the software's source code. Ascentium does not have any agreements with resellers therefore the source code is not available to any other company.
