E-MAIL: NIST Contracts Office, Contract@nist.gov. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) plans to negotiate with Project Software & Development, Inc. (PSDI), 100 Crosby Drive, Bedford, MA 01730 on a sole source basis, under the authority 41 USC 253(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 (only one responsible source), for Enterprise Asset Management Software Maintenance and Consulting Services. NIST plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to have members of PSDI to work with members of NIST's Plant Division to analyze the Time and Attendance and Work Management utilization of PSDI's MAXIMO software product, which is currently used at NIST. This service is only offered by PSDI to their customers who are already using their MAXIMO product. PSDI maintains a staff of resident experts who developed the MAXIMO software, installers, implementers and trainers who are at the disposal of the onsite consultant completing the analysis and software changes. Over the next year, NIST will be adding additional modules to extend its capabilities. The timing and skills required are resident and available at PSDI. This is extremely important for the success of the upgrade and implementation of the new modules. To the Government's knowledge, no other vendor has access to the core skills and capabilities needed for this effort. The installation procedures require an interactive testing and modification process requiring expert skill in the MAXIMO software. It will require interfaces for the following software systems: local LAN systems and local LAN based software, NIST Wide Networks, the NIST MAXIMO database software (ORACLE7), the Integrated Time and Attendance System, NIST Accounting Database and NIST Store Room and Acquisition Database. PSDI will be asked to perform the following consulting services: Provide project management and coordination in carrying out the full implementation of the software; Assist Plant Division personnel in carrying out the full implementation of the software; and Coordination and testing of fully implemented MAXIMO Enterprise software and integrated programs. The software maintenance shall include all software upgrades during the maintenance period as follows: Phone Support Desk, MAXIMO Enterprise (20 Seat License), Work Manager (5 Seat License), Scheduler (5 Seat License). The period of performance of this contract will be for a base period of 12 months with four (4) one year options. The base period will include only consulting services, and the option years will include software maintenance for the MAXIMO product, as well as consulting services.
