- Description
- Notice Type: Notice of Intent - Sole Source The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the NIST Office of Information Systems Management (OISM), intends to negotiate with Hitachi ID Systems, Inc.; Canada, on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106-1 (b), Soliciting from a Single Source, to provide the maintenance renewal described below. Background: The NIST OISM has adopted a password policy that all users and system administrators must follow under a directive from the U.S. Department of Commerce. OISM purchased the software P-Synch from M-Tech Technologies (now called Hitachi ID Systems) in 2002 in order to implement this policy. NIST currently has 7000 user licenses for Hitachi-ID Password Manager and requires support/maintenance of the existing licenses. NIST intends to procure annual support and maintenance of the Hitachi-ID Password Manager. The Hitachi Password Manager ties into other existing systems being used at NIST and there will be compatibility issues with several of these existing systems if a software other than Password Manager is purchased. Therefore, it is not in the best interest of the Government to purchase new software as opposed to renewing maintenance for the current software. Recent market research shows that Hitachi ID Systems is the only vendor authorized to provide the required maintenance renewal. The NAICS Code is 511210. NIST anticipates negotiating and awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Hitachi ID Systems for this requirement. Interested parties that believe they could satisfy the requirements listed above for NIST to provide these services may clearly and unambiguously identify their capability to do so in writing on or before February 14, 2011 at 4 pm EST. This notice of intent is not a solicitation. Information submitted in response to this notice will be used solely to determine whether competitive procedures could be used for this acquisition. Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to Divya Soni at divya.soni@nist.gov.
