D -- SYSTEMS INTEGRATION SERVICES POC Contracting Officer: Ms. Kathleen Ferte', 202-307-1960. The U.S. Department of Justice intends to negotiate on a sole-source basis for an interim extension of services on contract 6C-M-CIV-0022 with Tisoft, Inc. from approx. 4/1/96 - 3/31/97 or the date of final AMICUS transition of services to the Justice Consolidated Office Network (JCON) competitive replacement contract. This action will only involve the extension of the contract period of performance; it will not increase the value of the contract. This proposed action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302-1. Two networking technologies, referred to as AMICUS II+ and the INS Solution, are designed to interoperate in the AMICUS environment and are supported by Tisoft. Tisoft hold the proprietary rights to the Data Processing Network (DPN) software, which is essential to the architecture of the system. The AMICUS system serves the Civil Division, the Environmental and Natural Resources Division, the Executive Office of Asset Forfeiture, and the General Counsel's Office of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Since Tisoft holds these proprietary software rights, the DOJ has determined that Tisoft is the only firm capable of providing the services required and maintaining the viability and interoperability of the network. This notice is for informational purposes only. No solicitation document is available. (0025)
