- Description
- In accordance with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Acquisition Management System (AMS) paragraph 3.2.2.4, the purpose of this announcement is to inform industry of the basis for the FAA's decision to issue a modification to SHI International, via single source procedures. Microsoft ended free support for its Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2 operating system on July 14, 2015 and no longer provides security patches at no cost. The FAA still has 807 servers running the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2 operating system and Microsoft requires that the FAA purchase the Microsoft Server 2003 Custom Support from Microsoft via our current Premier Service Contract in order to receive support and security patches. The FAA plans to have the remaining servers transitioned to Microsoft Server 2008 or 2012 within 6 months. Accordingly, a competitive solicitation is not available for this procurement. The FAA is not seeking or accepting unsolicited proposals. The FAA is not liable for any costs associated with the preparing of a response to this announcement. Any questions or comments about this announcement must be directed to Karin Weinert at karin.weinert@faa.gov, no later than 12 p.m. (local time) on July 31, 2015. All inquiries must be submitted in writing. Phone calls will not be entertained.
