- Description
- Approved & Redacted J&A for SY 18 Asutype Assurance Software The Defense Health Agency (DHA) intend to make a direct award to FANIX SOFTWARE PTY LTD, 258 Chapel Hill Road, QLD Australia. The procurement is for Asutype annual perpetual software licenses. FANIX SOFTWARE PTY LTD is the manufacturer of this software and there are no known resellers within the continental United States that can match the software manufacturer's service capabilities and cost proposal. The Government was able to find vendors within the US that can procure the software from the manufacturer but the additional costs were substantially higher when compared to the manufacturer's proposed costs. The DHA requires the renewal of the Asutype Software. Asutype is used for its dictation capabilities to non-medical users who have either permanent or temporary disabilities that prevent them from utilizing a keyboard. Asutype Software Special Assurance is the tool used to administer the Medical Applications for Provider Satisfaction (MAPS) Survey. MEDCOM G-6 provides funding through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for continued support of the Medical Applications for Provider Satisfaction (MAPS) program and the Asutype software is cited to be used with the application of the survey. Medical providers use the software as a tool for voice dictation, allowing shortcuts to enter patient information and a medical dictionary for accuracy. A unique application to this software is the ability for Multi-tier configuration. Medical group leaders benefit by sharing information through linking to all computers in their group using the same group preferences. This provides the information to all group users and eliminates the need to put a file to a network drive to share. Asutype Assurance Software is also used by patients with permanent or temporary disabilities that prevent them from utilizing a keyboard. This requirement meets the conditions of FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source - Services may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of follow-on contracts for the continued provisions of highly specialized services when it is likely that award to any other source would result in Substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. Information received as a result of this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 541519. The Government does not intend to pay for any information provided under this notice. A determination not to compete this proposed contract is solely within the discretion of the Government. This notice does not constitute a request for quotes or solicitation of offers, however, all responsible sources may submit a proposal or quotation which shall be considered by this agency. The POC (via email) listed in this announcement. If no responses are received by 14:00 Eastern Time on February 12, 2018 a contract will be pursued with FANIX SOFTWARE PTYL LTD.
