- Description
- Notice of Intent to Sole Source February 19, 2019 The Social Security Administration (SSA) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Chicago Soft, Ltd., 1820 Edgewood Drive, Suite 103, Lakeland, FL 33803 to renew annual maintenance for MVS/Quick-Ref software. Maintenance of mainframe software MVS QuickRef software is upgrades, updates, and fixes, as well as telephone and email support is necessary at a minimum of 8am - 5pm Monday - Friday excluding Federal Holidays. Vendor will not need to come on-site. SSA is continuing maintenance on the unlimited mainframe perpetual site license at the Second Support Center (SSC) in Durham, NC. In FY15, Chicago Software changed the licensing metric to account for the change to the National Support Center (NSC) from the National Computing Center (NCC). The reason for the NSC license is that this software lease is licensed by mainframe in a geographic location. The NSC license is a term license and is subject to limits on the MIPS Capacity. Current MIPS ceiling is 111,735 MIPS for the NSC environment. This software is proprietary. Only Chicago-Soft Ltd 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. There are no authorized resellers for maintenance. The authority for this acquisition is set forth in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b) "Soliciting from a Single 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 this 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 Stephanie.L.Harrison@ssa.gov by 12:00pm EST, Tuesday April 02, 2018. No telephone calls regarding this matter will be accepted or returned.
