Description

The U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Intelligence (IN-1), intends to award a sole source contract to the Oracle Corporation, of Reston VA, for Enterprise-level maintenance and support of its nationwide installed base of Oracle proprietary computer software, via the new processor-based licensing methodology. This action will consolidate licenses currently supported individually by numerous offices at various DOE sites by individual awards, at a significant savings to DOE, and is available only from the Oracle Corporation, which is the publisher of this software and has all legal rights to it. The requirement is primarily for support of software licenses currently held by the DOE, to include upgrades as issued, but also includes some related support such as hotline support, consulting and training as well as provision for additional licenses. The proposed contract is for a maximum period of five years, a base year (FY 2002) and four one-year option periods (FY's 2003-2006 inclusive). This is a notice of intent and not a request for competitive proposals.The determination to use other than full and open competition was made in accordance with 41 USC(c)(1). Interested parties may submit a capability statement and pricing information for the requirement within 15 calendar days of publication of this notice, to be considered by the Government. There is no solicitation document. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. See Note(s) 22 *****
