- Description
- DISA/DITCO, intends to issue a sole source contract to Consona CRM Inc., 450 E 96 th St., Indianapolis, IN 46240. This acquisition is for the purchase of additional KNOVA Knowledge Desk - Architect Module Software Licenses with two months of maintenance. These software licenses and enhancements are proprietary and are protected by copyright laws. No third party maintenance is authorized. Period of performance for two months. Estimated cost is $53,000.00. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 10 USC 2304(c)(1), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Companies who can provide the above listed software license and maintenance must request a copy of the solicitation not later than COB 23 July 2008 via the following address: betty.burris@disa.mil. The resultant contract will be a firm fixed price purchase order. All responsible sources may submit a quote that will be considered. The NAICS code is 511210 for this procurement. Justification: The following paragraphs, IAW FAR Part 6.302-1, are provided to support only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This is a follow on procurement effort to purchase additional KNOVA, Knowledge Desk - Architect Module Software Licenses to support end user growth at the NAVAIR National Help Desk. Navy ERP has fully implemented and deployed KNOVA software as it's knowledge base repository. Given the proprietary nature of the software required, the amount of costs and resources expended to standardize the KNOVA software into the Navy ERP architecture would be a significant expense to the Government to duplicate another functional replacement initiative through full and open competition would delay or possibly prevent all future deployments of the Navy ERP. KNOVA, Knowledge Desk - Architect Module Software is available from only one responsible source and no other type of services will satisfy the Agency requirements without substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, significant costs expended on technical reviews, business cases, functinal replacements of installed inventory, training and implementations of new products. Consona CRM Inc. has proprietary rights to the software code for the KNOVA products and is the only known source to supply KNOVA products. Therefore, in an effort to obtain KNOVA software, it would be impractical for the Government to procure the software from a manufacturer other than Consona CRM Inc.
