This Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) document is for the Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center (IBC), seeking a follow-on contract with Prolifics, Inc. for QuickTime software license renewal, support, and maintenance services. The five-year contract will cover a base period of one year with four 12-month option periods and an optional six-month extension, serving the DOI's Human Resources Directorate's Personnel and Payroll Systems Division.

The proposed contract will provide licenses for Prolifics Panther Version 4.29.00.11, technical guidance, development/programming services, software installation/configuration assistance, performance monitoring, and implementation support for the QuickTime time and attendance system. Market research was conducted via multiple channels including SAM.gov, GSA, and other sources, which revealed no alternative vendors capable of providing comparable services. Prolifics was identified as the sole source due to the proprietary nature of their software, the complexity of replacing the system, and the potential risks associated with changing vendors. The contract is expected to be awarded with a fair and reasonable pricing structure, validated through comprehensive price analysis techniques.
