FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, are being utilized for this acquisition. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED. This solicitation is a Request for Quotation (RFQ). This solicitation document and incorporated clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-41. Offerors will be responsible for obtaining related amendments to this solicitation, if any, from www.fbo.gov. It is the responsibility of each potential offeror to monitor www.fbo.gov for any amendments or other information related to this solicitation. Any communications regarding this acquisition must be made in writing and forwarded via email to Divya Soni at divya.soni@nist.gov and shall identify the solicitation number, company name, company address, as well as point of contact email address and phone number. Any questions regarding this solicitation must be posed no later than June 21, 2010 at 8:00am EST. This requirement is being competed among Microsoft-authorized resellers/business partners. APPLICABLE PROVISIONS AND CLAUSES FOR THIS SOLICITATION: The following FAR provisions and clauses apply to this solicitation: FAR 52.212-1; FAR 52.212-3; FAR 52.212-4; FAR 52.212-5, including 52.222-50, 52.233-3, and 52.233-4 in paragraph (a)(1), and the following fill-ins in paragraph (b): 52.222-3; 52.222-19; 52.222-21; 52.222-26; 52.222-36; 52.225-13; 52.232-33. All provisions and clauses viewed at http://acquisition.gov/comp/far/index.html. Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, does not apply to this acquisition because the user does not interact with the EIT product directly. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) currently owns and uses Microsoft Project as an important part of its project management approach. In order to more fully utilize the capabilities of the existing installed base of Microsoft Project, the OCIO plans to procure and implement Microsoft Project Server and also procure 30 additional copies of Microsoft Project Professional software for OCIO staff that have project management duties and need this software. This requirement consists of the following Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs): CLIN 0001 Part # H30-00174 MS Project Professional 2010 w/Software Assurance Qty: 30; Unit: EA CLIN 0002 Part # H22-00347 MS Project Server 2010 w/Software Assurance Qty: 3; Unit: EA CLIN 0003 Part # H21-03071 MS Project Server 2010 User CAL Qty: 100; Unit: EA BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION: OCIO already owns Microsoft Project software. Microsoft Project Server is the only project management server solution that works with Microsoft Project software. Therefore, other project management server solutions would not be compatible with the software that already exists in the OCIO environment. Implementing a different project management server solution would require purchasing an entirely new project management software solution and replacing all existing Project software. This would result in spending a significant amount of money on the new software, as well as spending additional money and time training OCIO staff on the new solution. All responsible offerors that are Microsoft-authorized resellers/business partners are invited to submit quotations in accordance with the instructions below. ADDENDUM TO PROVISION 52.212-1 - QUOTATION SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Paragraph (a) below replaces paragraph (a) in provision 52.212-1. (a) Submission of quotations.
