- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE AND SOURCES SOUGHT H98210-21-DTM1 The Defense Human Resources Activity (DHRA) Defense Enterprise Operations Center (DEOC) Enterprise Acquisition Division (EAD) is issuing a Notice of Intent and Sources Sought in order to inform industry of the Government�s intent to solicit Concur Technologies on a sole source basis under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements for a modernized travel support known as Defense Travel Modernization (DTM).� � The primary purpose of DTM is to improve travel performance outcomes by delivering travel and expense management to the Department of Defense (DoD) using Software as a Service (SaaS) product in the cloud infrastructure.� DTM will leverage leading COTS technology and all travel management services to provide end-to-end capability for travel.� DMDC requires the Contractor to fully implement, sustain and support DTM. This work requires the contractor to deliver innovative, yet proven technology solutions developed in a user-centered, test-driven approach that enables a highly effective travel application for the DoD. The North American Industry Classification System Code is 511210 � Software Publishers with a size standard of $41.5M. � DHRA anticipates negotiating and awarding a firm-fixed price (FFP) contract to Concur Technologies, Inc. in accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii) Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements; For DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard, services may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of follow-on contracts for the continued provision of highly specialized services when it is likely that award to any other source would result in (A)�Substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition; or (B)�Unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency�s requirements. (See�10 U.S.C.2304(d)(1)(B).) The Government has invested $15M into the DTM program over a three-year period. To compete this requirement would result in substantial duplication of costs and loss and duplication of time and resources to develop, test, and field a similarly viable solution, all of which would result in a lapse in travel services to DoD customers currently in DTM. This Notice of Intent to Sole Source is not a request for proposals. This is not a solicitation or request for offers. No solicitation package is available and telephone requests will be not accepted. However, should any vendor believe it can implement an SaaS solution, at no cost to the Government, a response should be submitted to the designated points of contact provided below. This sources sought is intended as market research to identify any contractor that believes it can implement a SaaS solution in a condensed timeline and avoid the duplication of costs incurred under the Prototype.� Provide details regarding capabilities in accordance with Section 8 below.
