Description

The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Eastern Region Acquisitions Division-Kansas City office intends to award, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Altirnao, Inc, 1155 Perimeter Center W, Atlanta, GA� 30324, for AODocs Cloud Based Software for the Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) in Silver Spring, MD. Sole Source Justification OMAO�s Marine and Aviation Cyber Center (MACC) is responsible for establishing directives, technical standards and planning processes for OMAO information and technology resource management, enterprise architecture, information technology (IT) security, data management, local area network operations and delivery of client services. MACC manages OMAO's IT operations, develops and maintains custom software applications, and provides engineering project management for transition of new technology into the NOAA fleet. AODocs is a cloud-based Software as a Service product that is closely integrated with Google for creating, sharing and managing content via an enterprise Document Management platform. In OMAO's widely dispersed operating environment, connected online and offline, AODocs hosts the Civilian personnel and Wage Mariners Performance Management Records and serves NOAA-wide as a resource for maritime and aviation policies, processes and procedures. The primary challenge with any software installed on the OMAO ship is the ability for the software to operate over a high latency low bandwidth satellite connection. In addition, the software must have the ability to reduce its bandwidth use and be set up in a distributed manner. AODocs is the only software that has built in tools that allow each component to be throttled collectively or on an individual basis. In addition, it is the only document management system integrated with NOAA�s Unified Messaging System-Google Drive and Google Workspace. Use of an unauthorized software provider would void any warranties (implied or otherwise) on the current AODocs software currently installed and in use at NOAA/OMAO. The software must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems presently installed. Switching to a differently manufactured software would render the existing software unusable. The investments made to procure, install, configure, test and train personnel on the current AODocs software could not be recovered by procuring and installing another manufacturer's product. Special Notice This is the only notice to be posted.� This special notice is not a request for competitive offers and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can provide the needed software, maintenance and support may submit substantiating documentation in writing within the open period of this notice.� Responses can be sent via e-mail to shelley.neubert@noaa.gov. Documentation will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to conduct a competitive procurement, based upon response to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. If no documentation is received, award will be made directly to Altirnao, Inc.� DOC, Eastern Region Acquisition Division requires that all contractors doing business with this office be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM). No award can be made to a company not registered in SAM. For additional information and to register in SAM, please access the following web site: www.sam.gov.
