- Description
- This is notice of the Government's intent to award a Sole Source, fixed price contract under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP), specifically FAR Subpart 13.5 Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items, to Virtustream, Inc., 4800 Montgomery LN STE 1100, Bethesda, MD, 20814-3468. The contract period of performance will be for a 12-month base period and four (4) 12-month option periods. The Government requires Complyvision/ACE software maintenance and support licenses renewals. These licenses include access to patches and upgrades, as well as technical support. The following rationale supports this sole-source: No other source is capable of providing the necessary software maintenance and support licenses. BEP has deployed an enterprise license of ComplyVision, and has been utilizing the software for several years. This tool is essential to comply with the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) report requirements and Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) methodologies for the entire Federal Government. It provides the Bureau with a data repository for accreditation and authorization documentation and Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&M). All BEP security documents and POA&Ms are managed through this software tool. This tool is integrated with the Bureau's information technology asset management tracking system to provide a seamless view of BEP's security portfolio. The Government requires yearly software maintenance and support to keep the software up to date and operational. This support requires proprietary knowledge that only the manufacturer, Virtustream, possesses. Virtustream sells this software support directly, and does not allow any resellers. Therefore, Virtustream is the sole-source capable of providing the support. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes; however, interested parties may identify their interests and capability to respond to this requirement by 5:00pm EST on August 30, 2018, to Paul Garner via email at Paul.V.Garner@irs.gov. Responses must demonstrate the interested party's capability to provide the software maintenance and support for this requirement. Information received from this notice will be used solely to determine whether competitive procedures will be used. This notice does not constitute a commitment by the government to pay preparation costs, submission costs, or any other costs incurred in response to this notice.
