DEMONSTRATION OF THE PROPOSED CONTRACTOR’S UNIQUE

QUALIFICATIONS

Background: AssetWin Enterprise Oracle provides a database for the IT asset inventories for both DLIS and DRMS.

Brand name item peculiar to one manufacturer. 10 U.S.C. 2302 (c)(1). Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

Only AssetWin software meets our requirements because it is the inventory system that we have used for many years for our information technology assets. DLA is working on an enterprise solution but currently it does not have all the capabilities (including barcoding) that we require. All other activities that currently are utilizing the enterprise solution, have to purchase a separate software to provide barcoding capabilities. In comparison, AssetWin is relatively low cost since we already have the license and this just for renewal of support to include technical support and upgrades. AssetWin contains all of the capabilities that we require for inventory tracking, including history of assets and barcoding capabilities.
