Sole Source determination is based on the following: Citrix Systems, Inc. will be used due to the complexity of the software and mission critical requirements for remote access availability, it is imperative that CSOSA acquire the services of the manufacturer of the software and not a third party. Citrix is the global application delivery infrastructure for CSOSA's remote access. Citrix technology and infrastructure provides business resources to a growing number of CSOSA remote users.

The Citrix professional consultant service will evaluate CSOSA's current network situation and make recommendations to improve remote application delivery and future network functionality. As a result, Citrix Systems, Inc. is uniquely qualified to satisfy the Government's minimum requirements.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541511. No solicitation package will be issued.
