Performance and/or Design Requirements (e.g. intended use, function or application, compatibility, requirements; reference to policy, rule, statute or other act of the Legislature, etc., as appropriate):

OPCON is DOR’s automated batch job scheduling system for both General Taxes and Child Support Programs. DOR OPCON schedules and runs jobs 24/7, replicating this data to DOR OPCON DR in near real time to Atlanta. It is a multi-platform system which runs Windows, Unix, and SAP related jobs. Files are received from the IRS, DCF, HSMV, DEP, DBPR, Clerk of Courts, etc. An OPCON mechanism is in place to trigger jobs to add to the scheduler, upon file detection from files received by State, Federal, and private agencies. DOR OPCON and DOR OPCON DR must be running at all times as to not interrupt the timing of updates to our databases. If the system shuts down, it will cause an interruption in service for many of the Departments customers.

Intended Single Source:

Unisoft International, Inc., dba SMA Technologies, 15333 JFK Boulevard, Suite 300, Houston, TX 77032

Estimated Dollar Amount:

$708,524.48

Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate):
