- Description
- This sources sought announcement is for information and planning purposes only; it is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. A contract may not be awarded as a result of this sources sought announcement. The US Army Contracting Command, National Capital Region (ACC-NCR) at Hoffman II, on behalf of The Department of Army Information Technology Agency, Data Center (ITA-DC), intends to procure Appian 6 Perpetual Software Licenses and Maintenance using small business set-aside procedures in accordance with FAR Part 19 or under full and open competitive procedures. If at least two small business concerns are determined by the Government to be capable of performing this requirement based on the evaluation of the capability packages submitted by 2:00PM, September 2, 2011, the requirement will be solicited as a 100% set-aside for small business concerns in accordance with FAR Part 19. If capability packages are not received from at least two responsible small business concerns in accordance with FAR Part 19 by the response date or if the Government determines that no small business concerns in accordance with FAR Part 19 are capable of performing this requirement based upon an evaluation of the capability packages submitted; this requirement will be solicited under full and open competitive procedures. Only small businesses are to submit capability packages. Interested small business concerns in NAICS code 511210 with a size standard of $25.M are encouraged to submit their capability packages. The capability packages for this sources sought market survey are not expected to be proposals, but rather statements regarding the company's existing experience in relation to the areas specified in the SOW. Capability packages must not exceed 10(ten) pages and must be submitted electronically. All contractor questions must be submitted no later than 10:00AM (EST), August 30, 2011. Small business concerns are to outline their experiences in the following: The Contractor shall provide software license, maintenance release, and new software releases for Appian 6 Perpetual Software and Software maintenance for Appian Software - Access code, update version of software. Licensing of software shall consist of software maintenance to include new software releases, problem resolution services, and correction of software errors identified by the Government in the use of the software. Areas or tasks where a contractor does not have prior experience should be annotated as such: 1."Software maintenance" releases are scheduled by the vendor to correct known software problems, eliminate deficiencies, which have been identified, or otherwise improve the operational performance and effectiveness of the original software product. 2."Problem resolution services" refers to a customer service "hot line" whereby the vendor provides telephonic technical support to users of its software products, in the exploration identification, and correction of problems associated with the use of the software. 3."Correction of software errors" refers to the vendor providing replacement software code, either through scheduled maintenance releases or one-time emergency releases, for sections of current code, which have been determined to contain errors. Software maintenance may occur at either the Contractor's site or at the Pentagon depending on the nature of the problem and the security considerations. In such cases, when the security of the system prevents sending "dump" information out of the Data Center, the Contractor would be required to perform maintenance on-site.
