- Description
- This posting constitutes West Point Military Academy, West Point, NY notice of intent to award on a sole source basis a purchase order to Newsgator Technologies, Inc., 950 17th St Ste 2500, Denver, CO 80202 for the continued development of MilSpace to customize the platform for maximum impact in the military domain. The baseline technology platform is provided by Newsgator, Inc. formerly Tomoye, Inc. The software is proprietary to Newsgator Technologies. The period of performance is for one year. The total award amount is estimated to be $320,000. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(A) - deemed available only from the original source in the case of follow-on contracts. The applicable NAICS code is 541511. Newsgator, Inc. provides the technology platform that U.S. Army professional forums are powered on. The company has unique and proprietary knowledge that is required to effectively develop the custom capabilities required and to then integrate those custom developments into the platform seamlessly. This becomes even more important considering that the company is in an ongoing and continuous process of future development. Moreover, CALDOL has a research and development function with a requirement to share custom technology development with the Battle Command Knowledge System (BCKS) at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Because the BCKS online communities are also built on the Newsgator product, it is critical that the technology features and capabilities CALDOL develops integrate seamlessly inside the Newsgator system. In summary, the work CALDOL requires must be done by the company that is already providing the basic service. They have the expertise and unique knowledge that will give us the best product, which will also seamlessly integrate with the product in its future state. This notice of intent is not a request for quotation or a solicitation of offers. No solicitation will be available. Interested parties may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the designated representative. Response to this notice must be received within two (2) calendar days of the date of this notice via email. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement, upon receipt of this notice, is solely at the discretion of the Government in accordance with FAR 13.106(b).
