- Description
- Social Security Administration (SSA) intends to award Call Order # 28321318FA0011178 under General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) #28321318A00040003 to International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) under GSA FSS # GS-35F-110DA. The order contains Open Market Items, not currently available under IBM s GSA FSS. The open market items are labelled as Open Market Items in accordance with FAR 8.402(f) which permits the addition of items not on the GSA Schedule contract i.e., open market items to a GSA FSS BPA or an individual task or delivery order. The total amount of Open Market Items on the subject order is approximately $27,000.00. Additionally, for administrative convenience, SSA intends to add the Open Market Items referenced below to the subject BPA via modification, enabling future call orders to include Open Market Items to be purchased without the requirement of a notification. The estimated total BPA life cycle amount for Open Market Items is $140,000.00. The majority of IBM s support services, hardware, software and maintenance products included in the subject BPA, reside on IBM s GSA FSS GS-35F-110DA, however, there are a few hardware and software products that are not available on IBM s GSA FSS because the products are unique to SSA s requirements. These products include, but are not limited to, warranty service upgrades with 24 x7 hardware warranty coverage, and temporary software licensing to ensure licensing compliance in certain situations. The subject hardware and software warranty and maintenance products are proprietary to IBM, and IBM is the only entity capable of providing the subject hardware and software, warranty and maintenance products. In accordance with FAR 6.302-1(b)(1)(i), SSA has determined that the subject unique supplies are available from only one source with unique capabilities. The Contracting Officer (CO) will make a determination of price reasonableness prior to awarding the order and modifying the BPA in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a)(2) for the Open Market Items.
