70 -- SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE SOL DCA200-97-C-0023 DUE 022697 POC Contract Specialist, Thomas Bowman, (618)256-9604, DITCO Contracting Officer, Constance E. Jackson, (618)256-9696, no collet calls. The Defense Information Technology Contracting Office, DMC Computer Technology Division, Procurements Branch, DITCO/DTS42, Scott AFB IL, intends to issue a sole source contract to Information Builders, Inc., 1250 Broadway, New York, NY 10001-3782. This acquisition allows for the sustainment of existing executive software licenses from Information Builderes, Inc., 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 Information Builders Inc., 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 the 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/maintenanc services for additional executive software products justified and purchased via separate contract actions. Executive software is defined as: Operating Systems, System Administration, Data Base, Interactive Systems (On-LIne), Communicatins, Network Access Control, Systems Security, Bridging, Network Management, Graphics, Training, and Customer Assistance software. The central site management identification will be DISA Computer Systems Engineering, 4375 Chidlaw Road, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH45433-5006. The resultant contract will be a 60 month Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity with firm-fixed-price. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which will be considered. See Numbered Note 22.
