70 -- SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE SOL DCA200-96-R-0140 DUE 090396 POC Contact Janice M. Haake, Contract Specialist, (618) 256- 9678; Constance E. Jackson, Contracting Officer, (618) 256- 9696 Synopsis number 96225. The Defense Information Technology Contracting Office, Computer Technology Division, Procurement Branch (DITCO-DTS42), Scott AFB IL, intends to issue a sole source contract to Lucent Technologies, PO Box 26124, Greensboro, NC 27420. This acquisition allows for the sustainment of existing executive software licenses from Lucent Technologies whether leased or owned, while also providing the ability to add lease/maintenance coverage as the DISA inventory grows either as a result of the consolidations or replacement of software products via other procurement actions. This supports continuity of operations during the DISA consolidation efforts in response to the DMRDs and Base Realignment and Closures (BRAC) by retaining the current executive software operating environment. All the executive software lease/maintenance support services from Lucent Technologies are for Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) Software for which DISA is responsible. Maintenance services consist of: regularly recurring maintenance; new releases and versions (at no additional cost); right to bring DISA facilities up to the same release level; corrections, revisions with best effort for error detection and correction of reported errors; enhancements to current products with accompanying instructions for implementation and operation; and technical support for operational questions, problems or failures. This acquisition provides the ability to implement machine group upgrades through he highest group level when new CPUs are delivered or workload leveling requires loading the software onto a different CPU at the DISA facility. This acquisition allows for the inclusion of lease/maintenance services for additional executive software products justified and purchased via separate contracting actions. Executive Software is defined as: Operating Systems, System Administration, Data Base, Interactive Systems (On-Line), Communications, Network Access Control, Systems Security, Bridging, Network Management, Graphics, Training, and Customer Assistance software. The central site identification will be DISA Computer Systems Engineering, 4375 Chidlaw Road, Wright- Patterson AFB, OH 45433-5006. The resultant contract will be a 60 month (1 base year plus 4 option years) firm fixed-price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which will be considered. See numbered Note 22. SIC Code 7379. (0193)
