Source Selection Information – FAR 2.101 and 3.104 software while Informatica is the software engine that allows Teradata to function. As the original software developer with proprietary rights to the software code, Informatica is the only source capable of providing the required support services to NCDOC. Therefore, Informatica is the only known source that can meet the Government’s requirement.

The purchase of the original Teradata data warehousing system and supporting Informatica services were sole sourced. If the Government was to not procure Informatica support services, the Government would have to purchase brand new software to replace the Informatica software and a brand new data warehouse because this system does not function without Informatica software. The cost of the new procurement would be in excess of $2.5 million. During the conversion to a new system, the Navy’s networks would be unprotected.

6. GPE ANNOUNCEMENT/POTENTIAL SOURCES: The synopsis required by FAR 5.201 will be published on the Government-wide point of entry as intent to negotiate on a sole source basis to

Informatica, 100 Cardinal Way, Redwood City, CA 94063.

7. DETERMINATION OF FAIR AND REASONABLE COST/PRICE: A determination of fair and reasonableness of price will be based on the Procuring Contracting Officer’s price analysis of the contractor’s quote and/or a comparison of previous pricing history or published price list of the same or similar items in accordance with FAR 13.106-3.

8. DESCRIPTION OF MARKET SURVEY: NCDOC and FLCN both conducted market research through discussions with the requiring activity, internet searches, and discussions with Informatica.

Market research corroborated that Informatica is the only source that can provide the required services.

9. ANY OTHER SUPPORTING FACTS: NCDOC presently has Informatica software in use on various classified and unclassified network domains.

10. LISTING OF INTERESTED SOURCES: Informatica, 100 Cardinal Way, Redwood City, CA

11. ACTIONS TAKEN TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO COMPETITION: For the reasons set forth in Paragraph 5, NCDOC has no plans at this time to compete future contacts for the types of supplies/services covered by this document. If another potential source emerges, FLCN will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible. All future requirements will be dealt with on a case by case basis.
