Hamberg The Department of Veterans Affairs, Austin Automation Center
(AAC), Austin, Texas, is contemplating negotiating a sole-source
procurement with Software Engineering of America (SEA) for new software
licenses for the subject products. Maintenance support, which is
included in the first year at no extra cost, includes providing updates
and enhancements to the software and providing reasonable technical
support. Since this procurement involves acquiring new software
products this notice is being issued as a sources-sought for a
comparable product with the same functionality. It is contemplated that
the software will be installed on a CPU with 128 MIPS or 22 MSUs at the
AAC. Respondents must clearly demonstrate how their products compare to
SEA's products by function. The Government must be able to use the
software at no additional cost to process data on a fee-for-service
basis and/or in a parallel sysplex environment. Responses must be in
writing and must be received within 5 calendar days of this notice.In
addition, responses must include pricing and documentation in
sufficient detail to allow evaluation of license and maintenance fees.
This includes the vendor's commercial price list, and (if one exists)
GSA contract and price list. Documentation includes the vendor's
standard commercial license agreement if the product is not available
on a GSA schedule. Pricing must state whether the software license is
perpetual or term; whether it is available on a GSA schedule; whether
it is licensed by site, by CPU (i.e., tier group, MIPS, MSU, etc.),
and/or by use (i.e., concurrent users, total users, frequency of use,
etc.). Responses received that do not include all requested information
will be considered non-responsive. No solicitation document is
currently available. The determination to open competition based on
responses received is solely within the discretion of the Government,
and if such determination is made, no additional synopsis will be
published. No telephone inquiries will be accepted. Responses maybe
faxed to (512) 326-6028 to the attention of the Contracting Officer,
with the hard copy to follow in overnight mail. Or, responses may be
e-mailed to: greg.hamberg@mail.va.gov. Posted 05/03/00 (W-SN450796).
