Action using Simplified Acquisition Procedures

FAR 13.106-1(b)(1): For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g. urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, or industrial mobilization.

81-16

5. Reason for Authority Cited: The C5I Systems Directorate has a requirement for services to support and maintain enterprise-wide systems running a broad range of Intranet Web applications based on PostgreSQL. This is to replace the annual license and software support for Oracle products at JIATFS and provide similar support for PostgreSQL. JIATF South has re-hosted their authoritative system of record from an Oracle DBMS to PostgreSQL. This change represents 75% cost savings over the Oracle support this replaces.The support will ensure JIATFS C5I Systems Directorate operational objectives are fully met by providing support for software patch releases to remain compliant with DISA STIG requirements. Failure to have this service will adversely impact critical mission applications and basic support of essential PostgreSQL software products and place our information systems at risk of non-compliance with DISA STIG requirements based on the ability to acquire, install and resolve issues with patches and updates to meet continuing IAVM issues.

6. Actions to Increase Competition:

None. All potential vendors were identified using published RFI through GSA, CHESS and FBO. All responding vendors will be notified when the synopsis/solicitation is released.

7. Market Research:

PostgreSQL is open source, as such, does not provide GSA schedule pricing for their products. RFI’s were posted on CHESS and FBO. CHESS contractors could not provide this service. However a list of 3rd party resellers was identified from the RFI on FBO.
