Description
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the Telecommunications and CIO Division, intends to enter into a sole source purchase order with TMA Net, Inc., of Manassas, VA, under the authority of 41 USC 253(c)(1), Only one responsible source, for maintenance of the MANAKON Telecommunications Management System (TMS). The MANAKON Telecommunications Management System is located at the NIST, 100 Bureau Drive in Gaithersburg, MD. The system software must interface with the existing multi-mode Siemens Telephone System and various computers accessing the equipment. The MANAKON system is responsible for tracking long distance and local calling traffic or expenditures. The system requires remote software maintenance, factory hardware maintenance, and on-site maintenance, as appropriate on the following licensed software and associated equipment manufactured by TMA and Sun: -Software, Manufactured by TMA, MANAKON TMS; -Software, Manufactured by TMA, MANAKON SIU; -Software, Manufactured by TMA, MANAKON, SIU; -Software, Manufactured by TMA, MANAKON, SIU; -Software, Manufactured by TMA, MANAKON, SIU; -Switch Interface Hardware, Manufactured by TMA, SIU-5-2, S/N 707-001; -Switch Interface Hardware, Manufactured by TMA, SIU-6-1, S/N 904-003; -Switch Interface Hardware, Manufactured by TMA, SIU-6-1, S/N 904-004; -Switch Interface Hardware, Manufactured by TMA, SIU-6-1, S/N 904-005; -Server, Manufactured by SUN, SunFire280R, S/N US69231107. The existing equipment was designed exclusively by TMA, Inc. The required software releases are obtained exclusively from TMA as they are restricted and/or proprietary. The software must interface with the existing multi-mode Siemons Telephone System and various computers accessing the equipment. This allows several independent systems using TMA proprietary software to interact. All equipment and software to be covered under the agreement are commercial items. TMA has proprietary rights to the technology which governs the software. A source other than TMA could not work on the equipment and software manufactured by TMA as none have rights to the technology. TMA will authorize a Sun representative to work on the SunServer in the event of a problem. TMA, Inc. was responsible for the sale, installation, training, and testing of the system to ensure it met all required performance specifications. A potential source would have to possess proprietary knowledge of the TMA software. No other vendor possesses the knowledge to provide the required service and maintenance. No other vendor has rights to TMA's proprietary software. TMA has no authorized resellers or authorized service representatives. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541519, and the size standard is $25.0M. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, responses received by November 28, 2011, will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
