The Department of the Interior US Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order contract to Computer Corporation of America, a subsidiary of Rocket Software, Inc., for the maintenance and license renewal of the M204 and Connect software. The contract has a potential value of $545,522.00 and a completion date of September 30, 2018. The contract was awarded on a non-competitive basis, as the M204 Database Management System Software is considered a proprietary trade secret of Computer Corporation of America. The contract is not set aside for any specific business type.
The contract supports the US Geological Survey's Automated Minerals Information System (AMIS), which is written in the M204 and Connect software. This appears to be a sole-source contract for the maintenance and renewal of the specialized software that is critical to the AMIS system.
