Agency and Contracting Activity: The Contracting Activity responsible for this action is the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), 820 Chandler Street, Ft. Detrick, MD 21702, in support of the Defense Health Services Systems (DHSS) Clinical Program Office, TRICARE Management Activity, Falls Church, VA 22041. 2. Description of Action: Approval is being requested for a new firm fixed price purchase order for the Computrition Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Hospitality Suite Automated Information System (AIS), licensing, maintenance, training support, and ancillary supplies and services. 3. Description of Supplies or Services: The services to be provided under this purchase order are for licensing, maintenance, training support, and ancillary supplies and services for the Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Computrition Hospitality Suite Automated Information System (AIS). The above listed products and services will be deployed to 49 Department of Defense (DoD) Military Treatment Facilities (MTF's), and 104 Veterans Administration (VA) Hospitals. The period of performance for this order shall be from 1 October 2013 through 30 September 2014 (Base Period). In addition, this contract shall also include two (2) 12-month option periods. 4. Authority Cited: The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C.2304(c)(1). The FAR citation is 6.302-1 and the FAR citation title is only one responsible source and no other services will satisfy agency requirement. 5. Reason for Authority Cited: Computirtion's COTS Hospitality Suite Software was competitively procured under the General Services Administration (GSA) IT 70 schedule (GS-35F-0037M) for the initial outfitting of the Hospitality Suite Software.

At this time, there is no other authorized re-seller of the proprietary Computrition Hospitality Suite Software, nor are there any authorized providers of the Computrition Hospitality Suite Software licensing, maintenance, training support, and ancillary supplies and services. This was verified by Ms. Kim Goldberg, Executive Vice President of Operations, Computrition, Inc., via email dated 13 August 2013. The costs associated with replacing Computrition's Hospitality Suite AIS software product with a different medical nutrition therapy and medical food management system would exceed $70 million, as this system has been fielded to military treatment facilities (MTFs) and hospitals world-wide, and is widely used and fielded throughout the Military Healthy System (MHS). Further, it would take approximately two (2) years to re-procure new software, integrate, test and train. A new system would also require a new Approval to Operate (ATO) which could add an additional six (6) months for approval, and an additional $200K.Added: Aug 15, 2013 1:30 pm The U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) intends to issue a sole source purchase order to Computrition, Inc., 8521 Fallbrook Ave., Suite 100, West Hills, CA 91304 to provide the Computrition Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Hospitality Suite Automated Information System (AIS), licensing, maintenance, training support, and ancillary supplies and services.
