DMDC - Middleware Support for ActivClient Middleware Licenses

Limited-sources justification (LSJ) award of a Task Order to Enterprise
Services LLC, under GSA BPA ID02160005001, awarded under GSA
FSS, contract No. GS-35F-146DA, on behalf of the Defense Manpower Data
Center (DMDC) for the procurement of Middleware Support for ActivClient
Middleware licenses.  The order will be placed on a Firm-Fixed Price basis.
DMDC requested that GSA's Assisted Acquisition Services (AAS) Division
procure and award an order for Middleware Support Services for ActivClient
Middleware.  The support will be provided to the USAF, for its 628,700 seat
licenses of ActivClient Middleware, for a period of one year from 7/1/17 through
6/30/18 per attached LSJ details. 
In summary, Middleware products are uniquely constructed and the data rights
to the construction are owned by the manufacturer.  Only the manufacturer of a 
particular middleware product is in a position to render support services for its
particular product.  In the case of this acquisition, the Government has already
fielded 628,700 seat licenses of ActivClient, which have been in use 
successfully for many years, for which only support services provided by
HID Global, the manufacturer of ActivClient, will suffice.
