NAICS Code: 511210 - Software Publishers Contracting Office: Defense Logistics Agency, Acquisition Operations, DLA Distribution, 2001 Mission Drive, Bldg 404, J7-AB, New Cumberland, PA 17070-5000, United States Description: This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number for this notice is SP3300-11-Q-0160. This is a limited source procurement for a contractor that can provide all GlobeRanger Products listed in (Attachment 1 Line Items). Standard commercial warranty should be included in all offers for the Licenses and Maintenance. The associated NAICS code is 511210. The size standard is 25 Million for this NAICS Code. Brand Name Procurement Notice I.A.W. FAR 5.102 (a) (6): An acquisition that uses a brand name description or other purchase description to specify a particular brand name, product, or feature of a product peculiar to one manufacturer does not provide for full and open competition regardless of the number of sources solicited. Rationale: a. GlobeRanger Corporation is the software developer and has been granted patents to its iMotion solution which encompass both products included in the government's requirement PF-IM-ES-DVC-PL-251 and PF-IM-ES-DVC-MT-251. Additionally, the government has never tried to procure the "unlimited rights" or proprietary information from Globe Ranger. b. The Distribution Standard System (DSS) is the current standard distribution system to support the DoD logistics pipeline. One of the key intensive components to this network, in the logistics pipeline is pRFID portals for receiving and out loading. These portals report or reads through the middleware called Globe Ranger. Currently all the hardware configurations and processes are configured to the Middleware manufactured by Globe Ranger. It would not be cost effective to implement another software manufacturers licenses, the Government would need to procure "new" middleware reconfigure all the hardware, re-train all customers and end-users c. J6N DLA Distribution has an Edgeware called Globe Ranger deployed at 18 of its Defense Distribution Depots. This Edgeware supports pRFID readers and servers at those 18 locations we need to have a license applied to each of the readers and servers connected and communicating with the Edgeware called Globe Ranger. Those pRFID readers and servers report the arrival of material to the depots and internal points at various doors and buildings, for tracking and locating of material containing a pRFID tag and payment of the carrier. On an annual basis the Government updates the licenses for existing and future reader installs. In addition, every reader and server license needs a maintenance license for continued support. Delivery Site: DLA Information Operations New Cumberland, PA 17070 Standard Commercial Delivery is required. Note all offers should include the anticipated delivery date. Any award resulting from this solicitation will be issued on a Standard Form (SF) 1449. Payment will be executed via Defense Finance and Accounting Service.
