2. What unique capabilities does the proposed contractor/manufacturer possess which make it the only one capable ofsatisfying this minimum requirement?

None, three quotes were obtained as required by the contracting process, and ESV A was the lowest bidder.

Which of these capabilities are mandatory?

None, any source can be used if a lower price can be obtained.

3. Was a market search or other informal survey conducted? Describe your search or survey?

We received a price estimate directly from the manufacturer of these software products IBM, and then we asked IBM to point us to their small business resellers.

4. What material evidence exists that the Government would be injured if the noncompetitive procurement is not made?

None, if a lower price may be obtained, that is fine.

5. Provide the date by which the supplies or services must be delivered. How was this date determined?

We would like to get this placed by 19 November 2018 please: .

The current licenses expire 31 October 2018. We originally tried to get this contract package through using funds that expired 9/30, but that was not allowed, we were told we had to wait for FY -19 funding to arrive before we can start the contracts process. That funding is now in place and we are proceeding, but we understand that contracts requires 30 days to place a small purchase contract, hence 19 November is the soonest this could happen.

6. What steps are being taken to foster competition in subsequent purchases for similar requirements? If none, why not?

None, as long as the SSA requires IBM Rational tools to be renewed, and at least 3 sources can be obtained to provide quotes, we will do a competitive procurement action.
