- Description
- The Social Security Administration (SSA) intends to renew annual maintenance on its StandGuard Anti-Virus Software on a sole-source basis from Help/Systems, LLC d.b.a. Bytware, 6533 Flying Cloud Drive, Suite 200, Eden Prairie, MN 55344. StandGuard Anti-Virus Software protects SSA's Disability Determination Services' AS400 (iSeries) computers from viruses that could potentially expose U.S. citizens' Social Security information. StandGuard software and maintenance are proprietary to Bytware; therefore, to the extent of the Government's knowledge, Bytware is the only vendor that sells them. The anticipated contract line item is: CLIN 0001 Annual Maintenance for StandGuard Anti-Virus for iSeries (51 base licenses and 6 partition licenses) The authority for this acquisition is set forth in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1), which states that for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available. Any other vendor that can provide maintenance for StandGuard Anti-Virus Software must present an electronic version of its commercial price list, or, if applicable, its GSA Schedule and/or NASA SEWP price information. The Government will neither pay for information received nor provide evaluation results to the sender. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This notice does not constitute a request for quotation. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received, SSA will proceed with a sole source acquisition. All questions and submissions in response to this notice must be submitted in writing to Joanna.Lobl@ssa.gov by Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 3:00 p.m. EST. Telephone calls regarding this matter will not be accepted, nor will they be returned.
