FOB DESTINATION CONUS It is recommended that the Department of State use other than full and open competition, under only one responsible source, to procure renewals of Citrix ?Subscription Advantage? memberships for use by the Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS), Chief Technology Office. The preferred manufacturer is Citrix Systems, Inc. This justification and approval is for a name brand justification for renewals of Citrix Subscription Advantage memberships, which provide the Bureau with required upgrades and patches necessary to maintain the mission-critical Citrix environment. The use of name brand is essential to the Government?s requirements for the Department of State, to assure that mission-critical Citrix computing and data access environments operated by DS run at maximum efficiency. Renewing the memberships annually ensures continuation of required risk mitigation maintaining reliable operation of the Bureau?s existing Citrix infrastructure.DS acquired Citrix Systems products in building its existing Citrix information technology infrastructure. Eligible purchased products included initial one-year Subscription Advantage memberships. These memberships ensure DS is expeditiously advised of major changes to Citrix?s underlying product architecture and any updates to specific Citrix product platform feature sets.The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(1) and (d)(1)(B)in the case of a follow-on contract for the continued development of a major system when it is likely that award to a source other than the original source would result in (i) substantial duplication of cost to the Government which is not expected to be recovered through competition, or (ii) unacceptable delays in fulfilling the DS's needs. The regulatory authority is FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.Since the Department of State already operates and maintains a Citrix environment that houses our mission-critical law enforcement applications, memberships in Citrix?s Subscription Advantage guarantee continuous receipt of priority product version updates, patches and notifications. This integral manufacturer service significantly benefits customers; it is the only authoritative, consistent means to budget, plan and implement Citrix product upgrades. When eligible Citrix products are acquired, Citrix Systems, through its authorized Solution Advisors, supplies the sole avenue by which to access, manage and renew Subscription Advantage memberships. DS solicited multiple Citrix Solution Advisors to ensure the best price for Subscription Advantage renewals.
