- Description
- Notice of Intent [NOTICE OF INTENT] - The Social Security Administration (SSA) intends to solicit Argent, Inc. on a sole source basis for the purchase of Argent Software maintenance. Argent. Inc. is located at 30 Wall Street, 8th Floor New York, NY 10005. SSA conducts this acquisition pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1), Soliciting from a single source, which states, "[c]ontracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization)." Argent Inc. is the copyright holder for Argent software. Only Argent Inc. has the right to issue an enterprise license for this software. Continued maintenance of these products is essential. Access to upgrades, updates, and fixes and patches ensures software continues to be compatible with the operating system and is in good working order. Without maintenance, there is potential for a major eDIB infrastructure workload disruption. Argent Inc. provides unique patches and technical assistance necessary to support the eDIB infrastructure. Any interruption to maintenance can severely affect our service to the public.
