- Description
- RFQ Information sheet must be completed and returned to Contract Specialist. This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation and Notice of Intent. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate on a sole source basis with Green Hat, LLC for a software license and maintenance for the Green Hat Tester software under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. This will be in accordance with the format in FAR 12.6, as applicable, and as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are not being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Submit offers on HTC711-10-Q-D020. The solicitation documents and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-40, dated 22 April 2010. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 511210 and the small business size is $25M. Green Hat, LLC is the only known supplier of Green Hat Tester (GH Tester) software and maintenance as required by the AT21 Program Management Office of USTRANSCOM. The GH Tester software is a proprietary product of Green Hat, LLC. There are similar products available through other companies but do not meet the range of testing capabilites provided by GH Tester. GH Tester is an integrated testing product that provides the capability to automatically test Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) services and generate test reports and support documentation with the same tool. Other testing products do not meet this requirement. GH Tester offers integrated testing unique to this manufacturer. Using a different method or product to test the SOA capabilities would require that USTRANSCOM purchase multiple tools to achieve the integrated capability offered by GH Tester. Based on the market research, no company other than Green Hat, LLC can provide the necessary software products for the requirement. AT21 PMO provided Justification and Approval (J&A) stating that procurement of other products would complicate testing efforts because testing of processes and services could not be performed in an integrated environment. This increased risk may cause longer testing cycles and introduce schedule delays. A sole source purchase is recommended in order to fulfill this mission requirement. This action will not be open for competition as GH Tester is a proprietary product of Green Hat, LLC. FOB Point shall be Destination, Scott AFB, IL. Delivery location is USTRANSCOM, TCJ6-PE, 508 Scott Drive, Scott AFB, IL 62225.
