- Description
- The 10th Contracting Squadron, United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) Colorado has received a Sole Source justification for the renewal of the Infinite Campus software with a period of performance of 01 July 2012 through 30 June 2013. This procurement is for the acquisition of a sole source commercial item using simplified procedures in accordance with FAR Parts 12 and 13. The North American Industry Classification System code (NAICS) is 511210 and the size standard is $25.0 million. There is currently a license agreement with Infinite Campus that expires on 30 June 2012. The following features are part of the Infinite Campus software: - acceptance of student data from Cadet Administrative Management Information System (CAMIS) and exportation of data to CAMIS; - student information (demographics); - census (contact information); - instruction; - scheduling; - grading and standards; - adhoc reporting; - system administration; - hosting - off site hosted by Infinite Campus; and - software support and updates. Only one responsible source and no other product will satisfy the USAFA requirement. Infinite Campus is a vendor of Computer Information Concepts, Inc. Any offerors believing they can provide an equal product with the Infinite Campus software that meets all of the features and functionality of the required software described above may provide evidence for consideration. Evidence must support the offeror's claim they can provide an equal product. It is the offeror's responsibility to show that their software is an equal by demonstrating their product, at a minimum, has the same features and functionality of the stated product. Providing brochures, specifications and/or quotes alone is not enough for the government to make a decision. The offeror should provide an understandable comparison between the two products. The Government is not responsible for developing the comparison from insufficient information provided. All qualified sources may submit a response, which if timely received, will be considered by this agency. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether a sole source procurement, and/or a competitive procurement can be conducted. A determination that equal products exist or a determination to compete this proposed procurement based on the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Responses must be received NLT 12:00 pm MDT on 29 May 2012. Responses received after this will be considered late IAW FAR 52.212-1(f) and will not be evaluated. This synopsis is for notification purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation for bids or proposals. DO NOT submit a bid/quote at this time. The Government does not intend to pay for any information provided under this announcement. Contractors must have a current registration with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) at http://www.ccr.gov and with Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) at http://orca.bpn.gov. Questions should be addressed to the Primary POC Londres Medranda, Contract Specialist, (719) 333-8927 or sent via e-mail to londres.medranda@us.af.mil Alternate POC is Diana Myles-South, Contracting Officer, (719) 333-8650, diana.south@us.af.mil. 5352.201-9101 Ombudsman (June 2010): (a) An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes. The ombudsman may refer the party to another official who can resolve the concern. (b) Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution. Consulting an ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g., agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for debriefings, employee-employer actions, contests of OMB Circular A-76 competition performance decisions). (c) If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, concerned parties may contact the USAF Academy Ombudsmen, Kelly Snyder 8110 Industrial Drive, Ste 103 USAFA, CO 80840 Telephone number 719-333-2074 FAX 719-333-2074 Email: Kelly.Snyder@us.af.mil Concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations that cannot be resolved at the MAJCOM/DRU level, may be brought by the concerned party for further consideration to the Air Force ombudsman, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary (ADAS) (Contracting), SAF/AQC, 1060 Air Force Pentagon, Washington DC 20330-1060, phone number (703) 588-7004, facsimile number (703) 588-1067. (d) The ombudsman has no authority to render a decision that binds the agency. (e) Do not contact the ombudsman to request copies of the solicitation, verify offer due date, or clarify technical requirements. Such inquiries shall be directed to the Contracting Officer.
