Redacted Justification: Nuance maintenance agreements provide unlimited telephone support and rights to major and minor product releases, professional name recording service and support for any issues.

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Award will be made to Nuance Communications, Inc. as they are the original manufacturer of the hardware and/or software and are the only known source that can provide the required support. If there are any other firms who can satisfy this requirement, please submit a proposal by 4:00 PM. EST on Thursday, August 16, 2012 to both points of contacts listed below. The primary point of contact for this announcement is David Stemple.
