- Description
- The Social Security Administration (SSA) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with CA, Inc., 2291 Wood Oak Dr., Herndon, VA, 20171, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, "Only one responsible Source and No other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements." SSA will be purchasing seven months of extended maintenance for CA Identity Manager Version 8.1 software products. Interested parties that feel they can provide the required licenses and maintenance support may respond by submitting their capability statement via email to Rick.Bolt@ssa.gov. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. All information concerning this notice shall be submitted by February 7, 2011 at 12:00 pm, ET. This notice does not constitute a solicitation for offers. Written responses to this synopsis shall contain sufficient documentation to establish a bona fide capability to fulfill this requirement. This is not a request for quotation and the Government does not intent to pay for information received. 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 sole source negotiations. All questions and submissions in response to this notice must be submitted in writing to the email address listed above. Telephone calls regarding this matter will not be accepted, nor will they be returned. Justification for Extended Identity Manager 8.1 Support The Office of Telecommunications and Systems Operations (OTSO) has a need to continue Computer Associate (CA) support on Identity Manager (IDM) version 8.1. This will be an extension over a seven (7) month period to afford SSA time to upgrade and migrate to the new release version of IDM 12.5. The current IDM 8.1 configuration consists of CA applications (CA IM, SiteMinder, JBOSS, Apache, Admin, eTrust Directory and Unicenter) with load balanced and router services in production (UNIX hardware managed by DIIAS). In addition, the same-hosted environments are within the NETF Data Center at DISSAO for testing and development purposes. Authority 6.302-1 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Only the manufacturer, CA can provide the software maintenance needed for the outdated version of CA Identity Manager 8.1. CA has no resellers of software maintenance for this outdated version 8.1 of CA Identity Manager. Benefits Some benefits to SSA from the IDM 8.1 extended maintenance service are: 1. Currently there are four separate production environments for IDM at SSA: SSPR (Self Service Password Reset), TEC (Triennial Certification), UNIX De-Provisioning (CA Admin), and Automated User Management (AUM), installed on UNIX and Windows hardware. The extension will allow SSA to continue IDM 8.1 infrastructure support on the existing hardware. 2. The extension will allow SSA to continue support of IDM 8.1 while building the new IDM 12.5 environment. This will include testing patches, configuration changes, and refining functionality scenarios on 8.1 to ensure ongoing performance of support SSPR (Self Service Password Reset), TEC (Triennial Certification), UNIX De-Provisioning (CA Admin), and Automated User Management (AUM).
