- Description
- THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. This is a sole source brand name notice. The required item for this posting is Good Mobile Messaging Services that the government intends to purchase as a sole source brand name award under statutory authority 10 USC 2304(c)(1), set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. No award will be issued from responses to this notice. This notice is solely for seeking information and does not legally bind the government in any manner. United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), 7701 Tampa Point Blvd, Tampa, FL 33621, requires Good Mobile Messaging Services in support of USSOCOM mobile wireless capabilities. Interested parties may e-mail joseph.sherwood@macdill.af.mil or fax 813-828-5111, Joseph Sherwood, not later than Friday 18 July 2008; 10:00 a.m. EST. Per FAR Part 5.207-13(e) Fed Biz Ops Numbered Note 22 applies, however, there will be no 45 day period for responses. The response dead line will be the response date for this posting, 16 July 08. V. DEMONSTRATION THAT THE CONTRACTORS UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OR NATURE OF THE ACQUISITION REQUIRES THE USE OF THE AUTHORITY CITED ABOVE (APPLICABILITY OF AUTHORITY) USSOCOM believes award to any other source would result in substantial cost to the government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. Good Mobile Defense is a deployed capability supporting the wireless technology and devices at multiple USSOCOM-enterprise locations. Although this technology will soon be replaced by new technology to be released late 2008 by DoD, USSOCOM has a requirement to sustain security controls on these devices until replaced with the new technology. The cost of implementing new technology and trying to disperse it across the enterprise would not be feasible or cost effective for the amount of time required to maintain this license agreement. Accordingly, Good Technology, Inc. is the only firm capable of providing the maintenance without the government experiencing substantial duplication of cost that could not be expected to be recovered through competition.
