About this file

This is a Limited Source Justification document for IBM Mainframe Operating Software Maintenance Renewal for the U.S. Army Human Resource Command (HRC). The procurement covers maintenance support services for IBM mainframe software, including z/OS operating system software, programming languages, and various technical support features. The contract is a sole-source award to IBM, justified because IBM is the only provider of the proprietary mainframe operating system software and maintenance, and no viable alternatives exist.

The contract is valued at $1,226,006.53, covering the period from 30 September 2024 to 31 March 2025, with retroactive reinstatement from 1 October 2023 and 1 April 2024. The justification emphasizes that without this maintenance contract, the Army could face significant risks, including potential mission-critical system failures, inability to support soldier recruitment and human resources functions, and exposure to security vulnerabilities. The procurement is authorized under FAR 8.405-6, with the competitive status noted as "only one source capable of providing the supplies/services."
