- Description
- The Social Security Administration (SSA) intends to negotiate solely with Experian Marketing Solutions Inc., 475 Anton Blvd. Costa Mesa, CA 92626, for a firm fixed price purchase order for License Grant and Maintenance for Experian NameSearch Software. Maintenance for the product includes subscription to upgrades, fixes, and patches as well as email, internet, and telephone helpdesk support. This software is proprietary to Experian Marketing Solutions Inc. Only Experian has access to the source code necessary to provide the required maintenance subscription composed of version upgrades and updates, bug fixes and patches, and telephone/internet support and there are no authorized resellers of the product. The authority for this acquisition is set forth in 41 U.S.C. § 1901, as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.5-"Test Program for Certain Commercial Items". The acquisition is "commercial" in nature, as defined at FAR Section 2.101, and will be solicited using FAR Part 12, as well as the procedures outlined at FAR 13.500. The basis for restricting competition is: The existence of limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights, or secret processes; the control of basic raw material; or similar circumstances, make the supplies and services available from only one source. Written responses to this notice shall contain sufficient documentation to establish a bona fide capability to fulfill this requirement. This is not a request for quotation, and the Government does not intend to pay for information received. A determination by the Government not to compete the requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purposes of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. All questions and submissions in response to this notice must be submitted electronically via email to sean.gahagan@ssa.gov by 12 PM EST on June 17, 2016. No telephone calls regarding this matter will be accepted nor returned.
