This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive quotes.  No solicitation documents are available and telephone requests will not be honored.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)/Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)/ Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) Market Regulatory Programs (MRP) intends to award a sole source, Purchase Order for  Adobe Acrobat Pro Licenses  65286686JA  for 4,500 users under the 8(a) program, in accordance with FAR  19.808-1(c) under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(5)

The Proposed Awardee is:

  Wolftek Mission Group LLC        

SAM ID:  DVB4FP2XNLJ5   CAGE:  91U93

13900 LINCOLN PARK DR

STE 150

HERNDON, VA 20171-3265

SBA 8(a) Case Number: C00scd

SBA 8(a) Entrance Date: 03/18/2022

SBA 8(a) Exit Date: 03/17/2031

This procurement is being conducted in accordance with   Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)  41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, titled "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements."

And

41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(5) - subject to section 3105 of this title, a statute expressly authorizes or requires that the procurement be made through another executive agency or from a specified source, or the agency’s need is for a brand-name commercial product for authorized resale

According to the USDA IT Department the licenses have to be purchased from the 8(a) contractor Wolftek Mission Group LLC otherwise they won’t be included under the USDA/MRP licenses on current Contract 12314422C0027. 

This additional stand alone order for an additional 4,500 users needs to be managed by the same  enterprise agreement  already set up through WolfTek with pre-negotiated pricing and terms.   Wolftek Mission Group LLC currently manages  Adobe licenses through an Admin Console they’ve set up and deployment is managed via Named User Deployment (NUD) through the USDA/MRPBS Active Directory. Therefore this requirement cannot be advertised for competition due to the fact that if another reseller  were to win a contract, Adobe would have to quote  the USDA Agricultural Marketing Services (AMS)  and  Animal Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS)  Feature Restricted Licensing (FRL) which would be harder to manage than NUD “. 

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541519 - Other Computer Related Services, and the Small business size standard is $ 30 Mil.
