The 76 SWEG/555 SWES is building a Software Development Environment (SDE) which will lead to the building of a Systems Integration Laboratory (SIL). The VxWorks requirement was determined via performance as a subcontractor under Boeing Contract - - - Order - - - Boeing was tasked with compiling a list of the software and software licenses required for the Government to purchase separately in order to build the SDE.

In accordance with the task order Statement of Work (SOW), the VxWorks requirement was determined and provided via Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) A004 is for the SDE Software List, by Boeing. As a result the government requirement is for Wind River as the vendor for the required software.

The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Wind River Systems, as identified on CDRL 4 was contacted. The OEM stated "Wind River does not authorize third-party resellers of VxWorks products. This is handled by our services organization and should be ordered directly from Wind River.

VI. Description of efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as practicable.

In accordance with DAFMAN 17.203 3.6.3, Non-Capital IUS type software must be procured using applicable buying programs, including an order of precedence. The Department of Defense (DoD) Enterprise Initiative, which also contains information for Air Force Enterprise License Agreements (ELA) and DoD Joint Enterprise License Agreements (JELA) and no agreements were found for the required software. Request for Quotation (RFQ) #1679929 was placed on General Services Administration (GSA) 2nd Generation Information Technology (2GIT) and resulted in zero quotations.

RFQ #299635 was placed on NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (NASA SEWP) and resulted in zero quotations. Therefore, no resellers were identified.

The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Wind River Systems, as identified on CDRL 4, was contacted. The OEM stated "Wind River does not authorize third-party resellers of VxWorks products. This is handled by our services organization and should be ordered directly from Wind River."

VII. Determination by the Contracting Officer that the anticipated cost to the Government will be fair and reasonable.
