The Government intends to award a purchase order to the FrontRange authorized reseller of HEAT maintenance and support whose technically acceptable quotation represents the lowest price. To be considered technically acceptable, all items in this solcitation must be offered. All HEAT licenses mentioned in this buy are located at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Region II in Atlanta, Georgia. The physical address is 245 Peachtree Center Avenue,NE Suite 1200 Atlanta, Georgia 30303. Only quotes from FrontRange authorized HEAT maintenance and support resellers will be considered. Quotations should include evidence from FrontRange that the offeror is authorized to sell the required HEAT maintenance and support. The period of performance for the maintenance and support renewal will consist of a base year running from October 22, 2012 - October 21, 2013, and one option year. The HEAT licenses in use at Region II were bought in support of the helpdesk which aids in providing administrative services in support of the agency?s mission. The current maintenance and support on these licenses will expire soon, and maintenance and support must be renewed. In order to keep providing the helpdesk with support, these licenses must be well maintained and supported annually. The support necessary must be the HEAT maintenance and support because it corresponds with the software currently in place. This support includes software bug fixes, new versions, and updates. Maintenance and support other than HEAT maintenance and support would not suffice the agency?s need because it would not correspond with the software licenses currently in place.
