Description

Request for Information (RFI) Oracle Product License Agreement This is a Request for Information (RFI)/Sources Sought notice issued in accordance with FAR 15.201(e) to conduct market research. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes - it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue a RFP in the future. This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is not, at this time, seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Responders are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested vendor's expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. Any information submitted by respondents to this RFI is strictly voluntary. All submissions become Government property and will not be returned. VA seeks to identify offerors who are authorized resellers of Oracle Maintenance support and products as identifed in the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS) and Attachment A. Interested parties submitting a Capabilities Statement should be brief and concise, yet clearly demonstrate the ability to meet the stated requirements for an enterprise wide procurement of this magnitude. The Capabilities Statement should clearly present evidence that the interested party is fully capable of providing the required Oracle licenses, maintenance and Oracle certified core support services and as such may include any information that the interested party feels is relevant. Prospective offerors are strongly encouraged to submit questions and comments as soon as they are identified. Telephone questions will not be accepted. As part of the response, please provide the following information: 1.Status as a reseller of maintenance and software for all software titles identified in Attachment A. 2.Describe value added capabilities that allow VA to achieve cost reductions in an efficient manner. Discuss where these services have been applied in the federal Government in the past with positive results. Please identify contract and Government POC information as applicable. 3.Describe how the vendor will provide VA support to manage the distribution and accounting for Oracle products procured and deployed throughout VA under this effort. 4.Provide estimated maintenance cost per fiscal year for each product with quantities shown in Attachment A. For database and WebLogic related products, provide cost in ranges for each. 5.VA seeks to avoid large balloon payments in any year of the contract, preferring relatively flat payments to accommodate budgeting issues. Oracle ULA's commonly have large base year payments that VA cannot accommodate and VA seeks relatively equal annual payments across the base and option years of the contract. VA does NOT seek a financing arrangement and must preserve the capability to not exercise annual options without incurring costs that are relatively equal to the cost of all remaining options. Please provide a description of how this can be accomplished and sample language the Government can use in a solicitation to achieve this. 6.Please provide comments to the draft PWS in the following format: PWS paragraph #PWS requirementSuggested changeRationale for change or comment Submit responses and related information via email to Kimberly Flynn, Contract Specialist, at Kimberly.flynn1@va.gov no later than close of business December 12, 2013. Please limit responses to no more than 10 pages. All proprietary/company confidential material shall be clearly marked on every page that contains such. White papers should also include a short summary of your company's business/developments in this area and current deployments with references. Also, please submit the name, phone number, and email address of the lead from your organization. VA reserves the right to not respond to any or all emails or materials submitted.
